Traditional American Thanksgiving Day Foods

It is hard to believe but Thanksgiving is just a few short days away. When it comes to Thanksgiving, we always roast a large 20 to 25 lb. fresh organic turkey and along with that turkey we have mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lima beans in butter sauce, green bean casserole, homemade dinner rolls, turkey gravy, turkey stuffing, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoe pie and a cherry pie for our desserts.

We go all out for Thanksgiving Day and cook a lot of food! When our dinner guests come to our home for dinner, they know to bring along some plastic containers for take-home leftovers.

When it comes to traditional Thanksgiving Dinner foods, what kind of foods do you enjoy making and/or eating? Does your family tend to stick to traditions and make the same foods year after year…or do you all experiment and try different foods each year?
