Tradition! Thanksgiving Dinner

We have a very traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. Turkey and stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce (homemade and that jell substance out of a can), yams, a veggie & cheese tray, green bean casserole and at least 3 kinds of pie (always at least one pumpkin pie!) and other assorted desserts. We eat a huge dinner and then play games, take a hike and nap. Then in the evening we reheat whatever leftovers appeal to us again (some of us only eating dessert!).
Like I said- Very Traditional.
This year Thanksgiving will be at my parent’s home.  Traditionally, I am assigned the same menu items every year- the same items for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinner . . . . and I’m not complaining because this is a no brainer when I’ve usually got oodles upon oodles of other things that need doing.
Here’s what I bring: [click on name for recipes]
MIL Spoon Bread
Triple Fudge Brownies
Mr. Steady’s fan-tab-u-lous Dirty Mashed Potatoes

Yum, yum. Thanks for sharing.
Yep it's all about tradition at our house. If I leave out a favorite or deviate I get complaints!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving...

I've never heard of spoon bread! That looks really simple and will definitely be added to my recipes!

Thanks for joining the fun!
