If you were planning your ideal feast what would you have?  Let's pretend you don't have to cook, or clean.  What is a must?

    Tofurkey with "fake" giblet gravy, homemade mashed potatoes, tons of cranberry sauce.  Maybe some kind of stir-fried mixed veggies.  Mmm...  Smile

    ETA:  Biscuits.  And homemade apple pie.  

    If we're not cleaning, I'm assuming that calories don't count, either, right?  Wink

    Switch out that turkey with ham. Add some sweet potatoes.

    Now I'm starving! Mine would include pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, my mom's homemade stuffing, pearled onions, and roasted brussell sprouts. The day after requires hot turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce and stuffing. YUM.

    Oh, I forgot sweet corn on the cob, too.  With lots of melty butter.    

    This gets my vote for my favorite...& least favorite...thread.  Wink  I want a feast!

    We pretty much do my ideal holiday feasts...the only thing I'd change is having ham instead of turkey at Thanksgiving because I'm not a huge fan of turkey. We usually have mashed potatoes and gravy, potato casserole (insanely good), squash casserole, eggplant casserole, and broccoli rice casserole. Yes it's casserole-o-rama at our house! Then pumpkin pie and pecan pie and then I usually make iced cookies and chocolate cake for those (like me) who aren't pie fans!

    This year I'm making appetizers too...pray for me. That means I'm making 4 different appetizers, 2 casseroles, cookies, and a cake.

    I'm going with ALL of this but add in my MILs crab dressing and my mom's sweet potato casserole.
