Menu Plan 11/8/10

Remember that early Thanksgiving dinner I said I was going to be making while my Mom was visiting? Well, it didn't quite happen (it wasn't fully thawed before she left). So I made it yesterday. If you follow the advice here, you're guaranteed a really moist, delicious turkey (we follow the carving instructions on Martha Stewart's website...well, my husband does that part while I'm still working on gravy or something like that).
Hopefully, we'll be ready for another turkey in about 2 weeks. (It was a good practice session for me, but whew--doesn't making Thanksgiving dinner by yourself wear you out, especially on Sunday?!)

Making bread right now
Veggie scramble with cheese & toast (I don't think it will be ready in time though)
Oranges or grapefruit
Lunch
Turkey sandwiches
Carrot sticks
Pudding
Dinner
Turkey Stir-fry and rice

Tuesday

  1. I always consider my potpies like a casserole since it has everything in it (starch, veggie, and meat). You could serve it with a side of cottage cheese or apple sauce.

  2. I have potpie on my mp too. I'll probably have a fruit salad with it since the pie is a full meal by itself. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sunday-Best-Fruit-Salad/Detail.aspx this is a good one, or if you're more of a creamy fruit salad person, this one is yum-o! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Orange-Cream-Fruit-Salad/Detail.aspx
