Should we start planning Thanksgiving menu yet? Tell me what you have planned? I’m leaning for Ham & duck and trimmings and sea food appetizers with traditional desserts..

Sounds good like a good spread!

I'm doing mostly "traditional", plus a small prime rib, seafood apps. Biggest twist is my wife is making personal desserts in ramekins (pumpkin pie cheesecake, red velvet cake and cannoli cupcakes for my son).

We normally do both, full size, but always a ton left over. Sometimes it's good to try something different. Will certainly post!

Hi!

My Mom will be making Thanksgiving dinner per usual. Typical Thanksgiving meal. We will have turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green bean casserole. For dessert we’ll have pumpkin pie, and pumpkin pudding with vanilla ice cream. I plan on maybe getting some baklava and/or bread pudding to share as well. Dinner is typically late afternoon 4 or 5pm so we’ll be having snacks for the Lions vs. Bills. I’m in charge of the snack table and planning on: smoked salmon, shrimp cocktail, “hot shots”(little jerky treats), chips and dips, cheeses, and crackers. But most importantly I’m gonna make a huge “crudité”. Otherwise known as a “veggie tray”.

Cool sounds scrumptious!

I was just discussing this with the family. How do we not make a turkey? Kids said just make all the side dishes but not the turkey. Really? Hmm minimum size at the local farm for a fresh organic turkey is 15 lbs at $7/lb. Never done a ham for thanksgiving, but it could be a good option since I am not a fan of frozen supermarket turkeys. What to buy?

Hi!

I got to thinking and I’m passing on the crudités for the snack table. I totally forgot about Polish Roses and/or pickle wraps. That’s always a huge hit at Thanksgiving. It should be fine because we’ll probably have pickled vegetables during dinner anyway.

I had to look up polish roses. Scallions, cold cuts and cream cheese?  Not sure I could chomp down on a thick piece of scallion.  They look cool though.

I love them. The “green onion” adds a nice crunch. Yeah, I just use cream cheese and cold cuts. I think a lot of people add in stuff to the cream cheese like chive, shredded cheddar, ect.

I’m going with a cold roar tray! Oysters topped with smoked salmon and a white fish ceviche for starters!

Be creative and do what's best for you and your family. One year when I was young, my mom and aunt decided neither of them wanted to make a turkey for Thanksgiving. We had spaghetti and meatballs, hot dogs, and all the typical side dishes and desserts. It was fantastic, and we still talk about it today.

I made honey Sriracha lime chicken wings in the air fryer. They came out great.

Yeah they look awesome

They were really good. The sauce was easy to make. I think it would also be good on other things as well. If anyone is interested, here is the recipe. You could also cook them in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer. Just adjust the cooking time. It may have to cook longer in the oven.

Smash Burgers on tap for this evening.
