My parents came to visit me in MN. Since I have never cooked a Thanksgiving meal, there wasn't a chance it was going to happen. My mom assured me I would have plenty of time to do so in the future.
What I did plan was a Game Day Meal. The Packers were playing and we had to watch the game. This meant that any restaurant serving a Thanksgiving meal would be closed when the game was over. It was fine. It would be an untraditional Thanksgiving.
Here's what I made: (sorry, the only picture I took was blurry)
Sinfully Stuffed Potato Skins (Rachel Ray)
Mini Pumpkin Pie Croissants
There was also Cheese, Sausage, and Crackers; Pumpkin Bars made by my mom; Chips and Dip; Salsa and Chips; and Lil' Smokies. I made the Lil' Smokies by heating up Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce and adding brown sugar to sweeten it a little and then I added the wienies.
After our Game Day party we played cards (Euchere) and then went out to dinner at a bar/pub. It was pretty good food. Oh, and we also had pie from Baker's Square which was awesome.
