Holiday Baking
Pecan pies or small pecan tarts freeze well. I make 20 or so pumpkin rolls and freeze ( in fact they're better after freezing). Quick breads such as banana nut bread and pumpkin bread also freeze well. I've never frozen cookies before, but I have made up the dough(double and triple batches) ahead of time and cooked as needed. Dough will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks if sealed well.
Don't forget that fudge keeps well 2-3 weeks time if sealed well. I keep mine in a tin lined with foil and place layers of foil or wax paper in between layers then cover tightly with a last layer of foil and place top on tin. Same thing for peanut butter balls and bourbon balls.
Sample Thanksgiving Dinner Menus
We've never had brussell sprouts as many of you have. We have what I consider a traditional southern Thanksgiving, which means lots of carbs.
Turkey and sometimes ham too
cornbread dressing
mashed potatoes made with "pet" milk
coleslaw(hand grated)
macaroni and cheese( homemade with velveeta)
sweet potato casserole
green beans seasoned with ham or bacon and cooked down low
cranberry sauce
Giblet Gravy
Homemade yeast rolls
Pecan Pie
Pumpkin Roll
Various Pies and Cakes (Banana Cake, Coconut pie,etc...
Sweet tea and Coffee
In recent years dishes such as corn pudding have made their way to the table. In the past when my grandmother was able to cook, we often had fried okra, and dumplings made from the broth of the turkey.
