Here’s What Your Part Of America Eats On Thanksgiving

[ladyVet]

98. We have mac n cheese because for most of his life my youngest son wouldn't eat anything else.

He'd get a few green beans down (but didn't like them), maybe a roll, and that was it. So, mac n cheese made every day. He took it to school for lunch in a little insulated container, along with green peas, or else he had peanut butter on saltine crackers. Very odd, that boy. Now of course, he eats everything. Except deviled eggs.

Our menu doesn't really change much, and we have mostly the same things at the winter holiday (Yule) as well:

roast turkey (cooked with white wine, from scratch poultry seasoning, olive oil/butter, salt and pepper)
dressing (my recipe, with dried cranberries, golden raisins, walnuts, whole wheat bread, eggs, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper)
cranberry sauce from fresh
mashed potatoes
gravy (Aldi brand -- it's awesome)
green beans
brown and serve rolls
deviled eggs
mac n cheese

Dessert varies. This year, it's going to be apple pie and key lime pie. Homemade whipped cream to top as desired.
