Thanksgiving requests

Liz Sincerely

What does celebrating Thanksgiving represent or symbolize to you?

Our Thanksgiving is about family, and our menu is always a family affair. I start thinking about the menu in September, asking family members what they would like this year, I love taking special requests, and my family enjoys having their requests served.  I just spent a wonderful evening with two of my favorite ladies discussing the menu.

I love the holiday; it’s on my top 2 list, Christmas being number 1.   I am totally, 100 percent in it for the turkey, and I look forward to the leftovers.  I tend to overdo, so I was thinking about a simpler menu, but who am I kidding,..  We always had an open door policy for the holidays, so I always make extra.

 Our Menu

 Appetizers – by request

 Main Meal

 Desserts – by request

And more than the food, I am looking forward to spending time with my family and loved ones on such an important day of the year. We have so much to be thankful for, and there is nothing in life like your family.

What’s on your Thanksgiving menu?

I’m excited to be a part of this edition of Collectively Creative! The theme for this month is, appropriately, being Thankful.

About Liz I am a very casual woman, I live in sloppy shoes, wear jeans and loose fitting clothing almost every day. I work from home and occasionally visit clients at their homes. I share my home with a stubborn old cat named Peanut, an adorable little rescue puppy named Abigail and my better half Don. I love my home, but better yet, I love what I have done around my home. I love to build things with wood, take someones throw aways and repurpose it into something I love. Finding furniture on the roadside is my biggest addiction, a little chalk paint and new knobs, win win! My style is hard to explain, early recycle? lol, shabby country, shabby chic, early roadside? I love making STUFF, all stuff 🙂 I love the feeling of doing things myself. Want to know anything else? Feel free to ask… Sincerely, Liz

      1. We actually had ours last month (Canada) but we had turkey, mashed potatoes – the usual fare. That’s why I drooled over this menu. Believe me when I say it wasn’t this good.

  6. Can I come over for dinner? Leftovers? 🙂

    What a great menu — my mouth is already watering for all the turkey goodness coming our way next week! Can’t wait to show my husband — he’s all about new holiday recipes!

    1. Thank you, that was a special request, it is a copycat recipe from Magnolia Bakery in New York City

      2. They also requested their banana pudding, but I may put that off until Christmas. I have never been to Magnolia Bakery, but they say its the best.

  10. Your meal plan sounds wonderful. Why not make more, you can always freeze it for later on days when you desire a good home cooked meal, but don’t have the time or energy to make it.

    I used to make a big production out of dinner for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, but have handed the responsibilities over to my grown children who now invite me to their homes. Thanksgiving isn’t so much about the food for me as it is about having time with family.

    1. We always make a ton and freeze. I agree about the family, that is why almost everything on my menu is by request:) Everyone has something special served that they wanted.

      1. That’s a wonderful way to plan a menu. We do have certain things that are asked for and included, but which ever family is making dinner is left to choose what they want to make.
