A salad sounds nice too. I always see these great thanksgiving recipes, but they aren't really recipe people! Just kind of do your own thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-thanksgiving-menu-1#post-1238408 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 15:58:00 +0000 HLK208 1238408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pumpkin bread for the morning </p> <p>Turkey<br /> Stuffing<br /> Gravy<br /> Pecan, pear and blue cheese salad<br /> Mashed potatoes<br /> Cranberry-jalapeño sauce<br /> Sweet potatoes w/ marshmallow<br /> Rolls<br /> Sautéed green beans<br /> Egg nog loaf </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-thanksgiving-menu-1#post-1238391 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 15:42:19 +0000 MrsSCB 1238391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only cooking for me and H so I'm trying not to go too overboard!

Kind of a nod to the native Americans plus healthy. Medeterrainian spices are my fave so I did that just to keep it tastes. I think I may also make some cous cous with yellow raisins and almonds in it. Figuring out the rest as I go but I have some ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-thanksgiving-menu-1#post-1235030 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:55:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 1235030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Well my family would, but I never actually eat the bread during the meal...I'll use it to make mini turkey and stuffing sandwiches that night/next day though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-thanksgiving-menu-1#post-1235025 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 23:53:22 +0000 Arden 1235025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Hmm dinner rolls.
