Thanksgiving Menu...whats on yours?

I'm trying to make my menu for Thanksgiving (the in-laws are coming) and I feel like I'm forgetting something...and I feel like we're basically eating a lot of starches, but oh well, thats what Thanksgiving is for, right?

So, whats on your menu for thanksgiving?

Here's what I have so far:

Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Green Beans, Homemade Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potato Casserole, Rolls and Apple Pie

Re: Thanksgiving Menu...whats on yours?

  • This was last year's menu and  think I'm pretty much doing the same thing. 

    How about cranberry sauce?

  • I need to find out if my in-laws like cranberry sauce.  I know no one in my house will eat it, but if they will then I will get some.  I'm trying for an all homemade meal...wonder if I should forget about cranberry homemade and just buy the can ;).
