Thanksgiving always scares me a bit. Our family friends do a good job of it, and don't pressure us to eat. But still, it's like society is pressuring us, and we feel obligated to eat too much, and too heavy.
That having been said, if I had to prepare Thanksgiving dinner, I like the idea of some traditional things and some not. So, maybe:
Turkey/cornish game hen
ground turkey chili with pinto beans (grated cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, oyster crackers)
haricots verts
spinach
funeral potatoes
sweet potatoes
cheap white rolls
cranberry sauce
dressing made with wheat bread, some of it toasted to well done
apple pie
pumpkin pie
shoo fly pie and
biscuit pudding
(vanilla frozen yogurt, cool whip)
hot chocolate
