Thanksgiving is also a time for a great feast with your family, and friends. Thanksgiving dates as far back as 1621, and became a National Holiday in 1863. Today, we will review some typical Thanksgiving menus.  Everyone has their traditions and favorites. 

Typical Thanksgiving Menu:

  • Turkey
  • Stuffing
  • Cranberry Sauce
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Green Beans
  • Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving Table

This was our table last year, with all of our Thanksgiving favorites. The homemade cranberry sauce is one of my favorites. 

Our daughter makes the best homemade cranberry sauce, get this delicious cranberry sauce recipe here. This cranberry sauce is much better than the cans I remember growing up.

Roasted Turkey

Everybody knows I love to cook, but when it comes to the Thanksgiving turkey it's all Fran. I do get to check the internal temperature and carve the turkey. Fran insists on buying a fresh turkey every year.

 Oh, there is one other thing I get to do, inject melted butter into the turkey breast. This really helps keep it juicy.

Pumpkin Pie

After all of that delicious food, you must save room for dessert. There is always a traditional pumpkin pie on our table. Last year these pies were crafted by our granddaughters and grandson.

The Thanksgiving food is wonderful, but for me, it's all about having our family together in one place. That is a blessing in itself and what makes me so thankful.

  3. Preparing Thanksgiving meals are always a fabulous family time around here too. It is one of my favorite times of the year because we prepare family recipe traditions. It is like we are somehow reconnecting with all of our ancestors for those few days of celebration, plus building new memories with our family members now. Fran's turkey looks delicious and perfect! And, of course, the pumpkin pies look wonderful. Pumpkin pies are one of my personal favorites at Thanksgiving.

  4. Well those pies look amazing!!! I could eat about three pieces loaded with whipped cream - seriously craving that now! As you know Canada's Thanksgiving was early October - I always relate the US Thanksgiving to Christmas (as soon as the US Thanksgiving is over, it's officially Christmas! lol)

  5. Lovely, you almost want me to make another turkey. We have had our Thanksgiving, but you make it look so good I could do a repeat. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
