My Turkey Day Menu

       Lisa's Dinnertime Dish has moved.  Please visit me at my new and improved blog site!  The new address is http://lisasdinnertimedish.com.  I look forward to seeing you at the new site!!


      Just one more day until it's Thanksgiving!  There will be a flurry of activity at my house today.  I like to make as much ahead as possible so that I can relax and enjoy my company on Thanksgiving day.  Along with making most of my dishes ahead of time, I also always try and have the table set the day before as well.  Then it's one less thing to worry about on Turkey Day!

     This is my menu for this year.  It really doesn't vary that much from year to year, my family likes to keep it traditional.  I have two new things this year, sweet potato bisque and cranberry, jalapeno and cilantro relish (which I found at Rich and Sweet)

Cranberry Jelly (yes, my family likes it from the can, sorry)
Cranberry, Jalapeno and Cilantro Relish  (I found this recipe at Rich and Sweet and it is absolutely delicious)


Main Dish


Roast Turkey (of course)
