Our Thanksgiving

Due to budget constraints and unemployment, going home for Thanksgiving isn't going to be feasible this year. Instead, Greg and I are going to cook our own feast next weekend when we have our last round of visitors. Already excited about cooking our own dinner, I've started looking up recipes to get an idea of what we're going to serve. So far this is what I've come up with:

Turkey (I hope Greg can find the same recipe as last year)
Homemade mashed potatoes
Sweet potato casserole http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/sweet-potato-casserole-recipe2/index.html
Veg all casserole http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,198,143160-238204,00.html
Green bean casserole (I have to get recipe from Mary that she used last year)
Deviled eggs
Corn
Homemade mac and cheese
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie http://baskersfunfoods.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-would-you-get-if-you-crossed-pecan.html
Possibly a pumpkin pie but not sure yet

If you have any additional recipes you would like to share, just email them to me because I'm open to any ideas. I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving! Enjoy the cooking, food, and family/friends because that's what holidays are all about!
