I've been making Thanksgiving dinners all week

Tweet

This is the busiest time of the year for my job, and I'm very glad to have tomorrow off! I've made so many salads, so many pounds of mashed sweet potatoes, cut up so many veggies, carved up so many turkeys, and packed up so many orders this week. While it's an exciting season, I'm glad that the only Thanksgiving dinner I have left to make this week is my own. Since getting home from work today, I've made stuffing, make-ahead mashed potatoes, and bacon for tomorrow's breakfast. I made cranberry sauce and coleslaw dressing a few days ago. Someone else in the household put the turkey in brine earlier yesterday, and the sweet potatoes have been prepped for the sweet potato casserole that my daughter is making. Rolls have been baked. Strawberry Jello angel food dessert was made by one of the teens today, and he baked the angel food cake for it on Sunday. Costco pumpkin pie was purchased yesterday, and the chocolate pies and banana cream pies are currently still in the freezer. Bagels for breakfast were picked up this morning. Later tonight I need to cut up all the vegetables and toast sliced almonds for the Thanksgiving slaw (not mixing things together until tomorrow so it stays crisp), whip cream cheese for tomorrow's bagels (adding Everything Bagel Seasoning to half), and put together the low-sugar, no-bake cranberry cheesecake. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, do you have any cooking left to do, or would you be one of the people who ordered a premade dinner this year? If you're not in a country that celebrates Thanksgiving, is there anything you find interesting about our traditional dinners? Photo is mine of one of the salads I made for a catering order this week.
