Do you suppose buckeyes are a Kentucky thing? Because we make them too, but none of my friends from TN have them for the holidays.Originally Posted by Marshall Banana
Now that it's getting colder, and the holidays are approaching, you must be planning those special meals! Let's share our holiday cravings and feasts.
I'm looking forward to making my mother's/grandma's meatloaf and mashed potatoes this week on Thanksgiving, as well as some sweet treats: BROWNIES and BUCKEYES.
I made hot cocoa last night for the first time in long time (I really like this recipe: Hot Cocoa Done Right). I'm craving a cup right now, and a slice of Phillipe's pumpkin cream pie to go with it. Mmm.
I've been helping cook Thanksgiving dinner since I was old enough to start peeling potatoes. (8 yrs old man, 8 yrs old)
The last few years I've been given the task of making the potato salad, and all of the pies.
This year, I didn't actually make anything. All of the stuff that was made today was made by my aunts. I suppose I'll pitch in tomorrow.
Generally, every year we have, a turkey (this year we have 2), a ham, stuffing, corn, green beans, peas, rolls, potato salad, deviled eggs, mac 'n cheese, mashed potatoes. And of course desert foods: buckeyes, 2 cheesecakes, 2 chocolate pies cold, 2 chocolate pies baked, and a cake.
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are a big thing with my family. It's a time when we all get together. And there is a whooollleeee lot of us! xD
