Thanksgiving Menus

[BasicPatrick]

The traditions thread is great but I think a menu thread will stand on its own merits. What is yor menu and don't leave out the little family dishes that are requirements and start fights if they are not there. Also the desrts are a must for the list.

Turkey with homemade stuffing.

Home made bread.

Home made cranberry sauce.

Mashed potatoes.

Creamed Brussel Sprouts (on which I usually pass).

Home made pies (pumpkin and pecan).

The only thing that comes out of a can is the crushed pumpkin for the pies, since it's easier to work with and actually tastes better than fresh pumpkin.
