I've started planning my Thanksgiving Day menu.
Early this morning, I was digging through my stack of favorite recipes, looking for just the right ones.
I usually get out a manila folder and write the menu on the front of the folder and put the recipes I'm going to use in the folder. It helps me stay organized.
I make my pies and quick bread the day before as a prelude to the big event. I usually put on some festive Christmas music and get an early start. And while the pies are baking, I'll throw together the cheese ball. I can tell you my dishwasher gets a workout on pre-turkey day.
