[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 215103, member: 3626"] Ths year, it will just be two for dinner. We both love dark meat, so fixing a turkey breast is out. Turkey drumsticks just doesn't seem right to me. So, what in heck do I fix for turkey day? I don't mind going all out on the trimmings. I'd probably be killed if I didn't. I was thinking a roasted chicken but the more I think of it, the more depressed I get. That's just not Thanksgiving. Honestly, I wish my daughter would just say yes to one of the invites she's gotten. I could use the day to move stuff into the new place rather than waste the whole day cooking. So, any ideas what I can fix for two that would still seem like a Thanksgiving meal. I'll fix a ham for Christmas, so that's out. She doesn't like game hens. Sides will be sweet potato casserole, spinach salad, green bean casserole (yuck, sorry), candied carrots, garlic mashed potatoes, cranberry compote, cherry and pumpkin pies. I can substitute rice for the mashed potatoes if someone comes up with a good idea and rice would be better than mashed potatoes. HELP!! I really don't want to think about this. And going out to dinner is not an option. Leftovers are required. lol I really want to go home and fix dinner for all of my friends and family. If Heather weren't so far away, I'd go to her house and fix dinner for everyone. I love fixing big holiday meals but for just two it is so wasteful. [/QUOTE]
