We have been deciding on a Thanksgiving dinner menu and have it set, mostly. Nothing here will be a part of the dinner save for a cornbread dressing and cranberry sauce. The dressing was a trial run, I think it will work out. It has homemade cornbread and was good but I think I may go half and half with white bread next time because the cornbread was a tad crumbly. On the plate tonight are braised chicken thighs, the dressing, mushroom gravy, corn, cranberries from a can, and ciabatta rolls with garlic butter.
The big day will see a table groaning under a roasted turkey, dressing, garlic mashed white potatoes, pecan praline sweet potato casserole, huge fresh baked dinner rolls, a tub of gravy, scratch made cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, and Mrs J’s Famous Pumpkin Pie.
