A Thanksgiving Menu

I haven't hosted a Thanksgiving Day feast yet, but in my naive mind I think it would be so much fun. My little holiday heart loves the idea of finding recipes, doing the prep work, and putting it all together for the perfect feast.  I'm sure during the whole process in reality would find me somewhere on the floor, with flour on my face and something burning in the oven. But for now I can pretend it would be fabulous and fun, and share with you what my Thanksgiving Day Menu would be....

The Roasted Turkey

Classic Cornbread Dressing

Original Green Bean Casserole 

Individual Sweet Potato Casserole 

*I like the idea of doing these individually to hit all the classic toppings; a few with marshmallows, and a few with a less sweet pecan topping.

Cranberry Sauce

Homemade Dinner Rolls

Pecan Pie

Pumpkin Cheese Cake

To all of you preparing for your first or 20th thanksgiving feast, I wish you luck!  I'd also urge you to remember this as your're thinking to yourself, "Why on earth am I'm doing this?"; you are creating a special place for family and friends to come together to enjoy each other, and share thanksgiving for all of God's may blessings.  That is special!
