Wow, that's a great spread there. That cheesy green bean casserole sounds pretty good.

Was gonna ask for the recipe for the cranberry dip Eric but Freddie beat me to it. Thanks for linking.

Looking forward to to all the pics. This year, it's only the three of us so we will go out to a nice place that we like that is featuring a Thanksgiving menu. I'll be sampling off all the posts in here though. :act-up: Good luck everyone!

Prep begins today for us as well. JB will be brining his turkey and I will work on a coupe of dishes that can be partially made ahead. I will also be making the cornbread for the cornbread portion of the stuffing.

I make it today, cut it into cubes and let it dry out overnight so I have croutons for the stuffing the next day.

I take it that bird thawed out?

Prepping ahead the dishes you can makes for a less stressful Turkey day. I'm a fan!

Have a great Thanksgiving!

i started the prep last night... I'm frying a Turkey, so that shouldnt be too bad, but we have the ham, stuffed chicken and a bacon wrapped pork tenderloin. I'll probably knock out some sides today and leave the rest for tomorrow. I really excited about using the torch to glaze the ham!

Made two pecan pies yesterday and put the turkey in the brine last night. Smoking ribs right now so I have room for the turkey and ham on the smoker tomorrow. It's time to get going as there was no more space left in the fridge.
 
Turkey is in the brine and tomorrow morning will go on the smoker. Should take about 5 hours I am guessing based on weight, but if its faster (like last year), we will pull them off and let them rest until 3pm when the meal is served.
 
The bacon turkey is off and running. Basting every hour or so!

We are only on the hook for an appetizer, so we'e been prepping that today. I did laugh when my wife asked me to pick up fig jam at the store this morning.
 
Great looking tablescape. I like the personal touches on the mason jars

THanks. She bought plain jars and added all of the stuff to them. Came out really well.
Even made frozen spheres of the Sangria for them as well instead of ice.

The frozen sangria idea is great. Nothing better than a drink that stays cold and doesn't get watered down.
 
Great touches for the tableware. Looks great!
