Started some meal prep today...

Pumpkin Soup - it was very, very thick. I had to water it down a lot.

Green Bean Casserole

Mash

Cornbread - very, very crumbly, going to have to Google to see where I went wrong

Have a lovely day tomorrow everyone!

Wow, that all looks fantastic! You are so prepared 💝 your pumpkin soup looks luscious and your amazing pioneer woman mash is a sight to behold! I hope you have an amazing day. 😁

Ok I’ll say nothing about the Yorkshire pud
I always find corn bread a bit crumbly even when I cheat and use jiffy cornbread mix

Looking good! The only prep I managed was making my pastry for the apple pie and it is now chilling in the fridge.

However, a friend of mine in America has an amazing tradition for the night before Thanksgiving: Cheese night! A night where they eat lots of cheese! It started with just her family and has now spread to friends and friends of friends etc etc... So tonight I cooked a cheese night dinner of poutine (I managed to source proper cheese curds) and it was delicious! But then I had no energy to do meal prep for tomorrow!

I put Cointreau in mine with orange zest 😃

When I make cranberry sauce I do the same as you Debbie
I also add Cointreau and orange zest to my boozy mincemeat
I’m currently toasting oatmeal for Cranachan to take tomorrow
Don’t know what DH will say about me using his good malt for the cream though

Colette your cornbread looks delicious 😋 wow you've done loads of prep. I can't wait to see everything all laid out.

The cheese night poutine looks fab! What a fun idea.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

It’s all systems go here this morning. So far for breakfast I have had 10 tablespoons of mashed potato and about half a cup of four cheese mac and cheese (it wouldn’t fit in the casserole dish.) 😆 I have to nip out because I have run out of salt 😱 rookie mistake 😉

There is corn, cheese and jalapeño pudding, green beans and bacon, 4 cheese mac and cheese and whisked mashed potatoes (game changer! Thanks Helen!)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 💖

We're not doing ours until Sunday, but these all look amazing!

Happy Thanksgiving all! I have bread rising and pastry chilling in the fridge. I also made blueberry pancakes for breakfast, yum!
