Thanksgiving Menu
Let’s talk Thanksgiving eats for a little bit, since it’s the foremost thing on my mind this week! Want to see a little glimpse into our menu? I love how many family recipes are included, it makes it really feel traditional.
The Stanley signature veggie dip (you can’t argue with cheez wiz and cream cheese!)
Fancy cheese and crackers (or maybe baked brie, any recommendations here for cheese? I haven’t got this yet)
Aunt Robin’s Cream of Parsnip Soup
My mom’s delicious Asian Sesame green beans
Grandma Mema’s famous rolls (pretty sure everyone has their favorite)
Orange Cranberry Sauce
Aller’s Mashed Potatoes
My Aunt Deborah’s signature stuffing with sausage, apples, sage, cranberres and mushrooms…mmmm
Brined Fresh Roast Turkey (never made a turkey or brined before!)
Erin Stanley’s Holiday Sweet Potatoes
Celeste Thomas’ Tart Cherry Pie (it’s amazing, and I better make it right because she’s coming!)
Ina’s Deep Dish Apple Pie (she’s pretty much like family!)
Vodka pie crust recipe for these pies that are supposed to be fool proof to roll out. I like that promise, because I am a fool with pie crusts
My Aunt Rebecca’s signature cheesecake (IF I have time!)
Aller’s Banana Cream Pie
Aller’s Chocolate Cream Pie
Aller’s Pumpkin PieActivities for the 7 kids under 3: Walnut boats/races, fruit loop necklaces, Thanksgiving pinata (I’ll post pictures of this tomorrow!)

Wow what a menu – sounds delicious, best of luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
Sounds delicious! For cheese boards, I like to set out an aged cheddar, goat, brie and blue with some grapes, dried fruits and assorted cracker. Simple and easy to assemble. Your meal sounds delicious.
This all sounds so amazing!! ENJOY! xo
Oh wow – what a feast! Sounds amazing, you've got my hungry for stuffing!
susannah and martha, i'll have to try those. Thanks!
Janelle, email me and I'll share it with you!
Everything sounds so delicious, are you sure there's not room for more at your table??
I AM SO EXCITED.
Share the green bean recipe!!! I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to try with my fresh green beans.Also, I'm brining my turkey for the first time.
Awesome menu, LIz! I'm making the Cream of Parsnip soup, too, to take to Kim and Joan's. Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy all the prep and cooking. I love it!
st. andre's triple cream cheese (they also carry it at trader joe's). so so good. i promise. also at tj"s carmelized onion cheddar. (amazing but not quite as fancy)i thought we had a lot of pies!!! wow. sounds delish.
Sounds delish! I highly recommend this pastry-wrapped brie with raspberries and rosemary recipe. It's so easy, tastes delish and is always a crowd pleaser:http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pastry-Wrapped-Brie-with-Raspberries-104798
i second the motion for brined turkey. it really is the BEST method for a juicy bird! i love your entire menu.. i must say chopped pecans in sausage stuffing makes it taste oh so good. best wishes with everything! happy thanksgiving to you and yours.
Hooray for your first brined turkey. It's going to change your Thanksgiving forever. Delicious.
