turkey or ham?

[imaginethat]

What are you having for Thanksgiving this year? Or do you have roast beef or roast pork loin or something else? .....and, what's for dessert anyway?

[TeeBubbaDee]

We always have a turkey, but I actually prefer ham. 

Dessert for the last 10 years or so has been Cranberry/Pineapple/Cherry Jellow. Very easy to make!!

2 (0.3 ounce) packagessugar-free cherry flavored Jell-O® mix

• 2 cups boiling water

• 1 (16 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce

• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1. Combine the gelatin and boiling water; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Mix in cranberry sauce and pineapple.
2. Transfer to  8X 10 glass dish, and stir in pecans.  Chill until set and serve

sounds good - I'm gonna copy this recipe to my daughter (hint,hint).  About time someone started some new traditions.

[TeeBubbaDee]

I think you, and your daughter will like this. It's easy, and pretty tasty.

We will have turkey. When I was married, we would make a ham, too, because my ex wasn't a big fan of turkey. We are going to my #3 granddaughter's house this year. I will help her with the bird....and bake one pumpkin pie and one cherry cheesecake. My daughter is bringing her peach cobbler.

My son-in-law will fry a turkey. It is delicious. The traditional trimmings too. I might make my famous meatballs in the crock pot. Key ingredient is grape jelly! Sounds weird, but you make them in a crock pot and they are yummy.

I have that recipe...grape jelly and chili sauce? It is so good!

I remember that stuff on the table when I was a kid.

I was never a big fan of most cranberry dishes....but now I make cranberry chutney.....and I love it! And last year I made curried sweet potatoes, just for a change. My senior group is going to have a pot luck dinner for Thanksgiving; I think cranberry chutney will be my donation.

Turkey is my personal favorite I love the left overs better than the real celebration though.
