I'm not making a turkey for two reasons. 1 They are kind of expensive and there is only the two of us, and 2. The thought of making a turkey grosses me out. I've never made one before, and I've never really helped make one either. I like eating turkey, it's delicious! Making it just grosses me out.
I've been told to have Steve do the gross part and in the future I probably will. I know you can get smaller turkeys, but we're just not going to do it this year. Instead, I'm going to make Honey Pecan Chicken. It's really simple, but really delicious.
We'll also be having mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans with bacon or almonds (haven't decided yet), rolls and pumpkin pie pudding. I thought about making an actual pie, but I don't really care for pie crust. If we like this new recipe, maybe it will become our own tradition to pass on. Normally, we might try a wine, but I still can't drink alcohol for a few more months, and honestly, I don't really care for most alcohol. Instead we got sparkling grape juice. Haha
In my family, we usually eat around one or two with the usual... Turkey, stuffing, cranberry, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. We've never really watched football because my family isn't into sports. We may have a few times if we had company over, but for most of them, we didn't. We also watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and then some classic movie like the Sound of Music or whatever.
Thankfully, Steve's also not into football so we'll probably just play video games and watch TV all day. My bookstore is closed, and since he's still in training, he gets Thanksgiving off too.
Mostly, I'm curious and I hope a few of you respond. What are you having or making for Thanksgiving dinner? What traditions do you have in your family?
