Turkey
dumplings
pea/cauliflower tossed salad
huge bowl of fruit
mashed tators and gravy
stuffing
green bean casserole

Desert is always apple, chocolate, and pumpkin pie and several small treats. My husbands uncle is a diabetic and they make the chocolate pie with Splenda. It's really good!

Pretty basic here.
turkey
mashed potatoes
gravy
vegetable of choice..sometimes beans, sometimes corn or broccoli...whatever we feel like.
baked rolls
sweet potatoes
candied carrots
butternut squash
stuffing
cranberry sauce
We usually have appetizers of some sort like assorted cheese, summer sausage, deli meats, crackers, veggie plate and dip, fruit plate, deviled eggs, assorted nuts, etc.
Dessert is usually apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Sometimes another type of pie or cheesecake. Sometimes I make some sort of fluff dessert. Just depends.
I'd like to make cornbread of some sort, but it's really too much food as it is.
It's almost always just us 6.If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.
