Thanksgiving Day Plans

Thanksgiving will be here soon and my family can't wait. We always look forward to the Thanksgiving festivities, and the big turkey dinner.  I usually make our  favorite foods that I don't make too often, but this year, there are some different foods weadded to the list.

The kids want a combination of foods that I wouldn't normally pair together like BBQ and tacos. It's all good though. This Thanksgiving is going to be feast for my kids, husband and parents.

Food for everyone

This is a lot of food, but my husband still eats like a powerlifter so the leftovers make great meals and alternative recipes. I will take a plate of Thanksgiving dinner to the nearest gas station for the clerk, as well. What can I say? That's the way I roll. 

Some canned and prepackaged foods have been bought for the Thanksgiving holiday, already. I even bought a package of  Golden Farms French Fried Onions, but I'm not sure if I'll use them. My mom always says her face feels greasy after eating the French fried onions so I may do a homemade version. Yummy!
