I know it might have been more helpful to discuss Thanksgiving menus before the big day... But there has been a request to see what was on Princess Bossy's fancy Thanksgiving menu I showed in a photo in my last post, and I'm glad to oblige.
While Princess Bossy expressed her passion for Thanksgiving through a more complex, gourmet type of meal, I enjoyed Thanksgiving more than ever, preparing more simply. So before I unveil her menu, I thought I'd share ours, which was based on everyone's Thanksgiving favorites, and desires for less fuss and mess:
Appetizers:
- Crackers and various cheeses
- Hot Shrimp dip with small French bread slices
- Taco dip and chips
Dinner:
- Turkey, prepared using Safeway's 2-hour recipe... So easy!
- Croissants from Costco for making the aforementioned turkey into sandwiches
- Whole cranberry sauce (thanks to Costco again)
- Green Bean Casserole
- Grapes
- Mashed potatoes and gravy (A late addition. Apparently, it's necessary to keep this one, traditional, fuss and muss item.)
- Dill Pickles and Black Olives
Dessert (Prepared by Princesses Eager and Artiste):
Now, with royal permission, of course, I am happy to share (show off) Princess Bossy's wonderful menu:

The whipped cauliflower sounds interesting...never had that. I love Brussel sprouts too...though not everyone has my ideas on them.
But these sound good.
Now...my two girls planned and planned, organized all the food. I made stuffing, giblet gravy and cookies. the rest was delegated by them. We had lots of tasty dishes that we've not had before.
If only some one would step up and HOST! I'd gladly drive to their home...rather than do all the extra cleaning! :)
