Hmm, what makes Thanksgiving Thanksgiving to you?

For me it is pumpkin pie, Cranberry sauce, candied Yams for DH, and Corn (oh and Turkey and Mashed potatoes, and gravy)

The pumpkin pie I bake pretty cheap (compared to buying) For ease I might freeze them (easier than the day of when a million other stuff has to be done)

For the candied Yams, again cheaper to do yourself, I have heard they keep in a crockpot, might google a recipie online, that way you ould do all the work the night before and have it ready to put on the heat. (sweet potatoes with brown sugar and butter, basic recipie around here)

Cranberry sauce I also make ahead (well not this year, yet) And freeze, supposed to be cold anyway, thaws perfect from the freezer.

Anyway watch for sales, and buy as you go rather than the week of.

And most important (and what I always forget) RELAX, no one expects you to have EVERYTHING (and if they do that is their problem not yours.)
