I know it’s early, but I’m already so looking forward to it that today I invite you to review my…
Proposed Thanksgiving Menu:
Appetizers – spicy roasted pumpkin seeds, mini corn and cheese purses
Main – Whole roasted turkey stuffed with winter herbs
Sides – stuffing (thanks, Stouffer’s!), giblet gravy, green bean casserole, Mom’s fresh cranberry sauce, chipotle mashed sweet potatoes, herb and pepper biscuits to help clean off the plate.
Dessert – pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
yum.
"blackberry-eating in late September" 
Dana’s stomach: *gurgle*
Yum indeed.
Everything sounds good as is. We usually have chips and homemade salsa for appetizers because my grandma makes good garlic salsa, but that’s it. That and olives and crackers and cheese. Nothing fancy. Sorry I can’t help there.
Ooh, I love the idea of some kind of antipasto platter as appetizers… easy to munch on, not super filling, and leaves the oven out of the equation (since it will be full of turkey)! Thanks.
