**updated 11/23 – its the final turkey day countdown!
ryan and i are hosting thanksgiving this year at our new place in augusta. we have 6 adults and a two year old coming. it should be a great time, especially since i practiced cooking a turkey a few weeks ago.
after all, no one wants an under-cooked turkey for thanksgiving. and no one wants to eat thanksgiving at 10 p.m. because you didn’t plan correctly. we tested the turkey waters a few weeks ago and i was quite happy with the results. fingers crossed everything comes together in a few days and we can eat around 3 or 3:30 p.m. if not, i made sure we have plenty of booze and hopefully no one will notice.
besides turkey, here’s what else we are having:
grandma’s cheese ball {green peppers and pineapple}
veggies and dip
mac and cheese
biscuits
stuffing
gravy
broccoli salad
cranberry sauce
pumpkin crisp
sweet potato souffle
apple pie
wine
beer
apple cider
sweet tea

what are your thanksgiving day plans?
Have fun, how do you make your sweet tea? Everyone makes it a little different.
I can’t help but notice that you’re missing a potato side dish — such blasphemy! :) Figuring out the timeline and what to cook when was my favorite part of hosting Thanksgiving last year. I’m sure yours will be perfectly planned!
