Okay, this is going to sound silly, but for the first time I am in charge of making Thanksgiving dinner for some family and friends (there will only be six of us) and I'm obsessing over more than I should (it's always been one of my favorite holidays and I don't want to ruin it for others).
I'm looking for any help that you can offer, recipes, preparation tips, serving ideas, literally anything you have learned from your experiences. Here is what I'm planning on serving:
Turkey breasts (not going to do a full turkey, I'm a wimp)
Cranberry salad
Mashed potatos
Sweet potatos
Green bean casserole
Oyster stew (it's a family tradition, but I've never made it)
Gravy
Stuffing
Dinner rolls (the one thing I might not make from scratch)
Any suggestions would be welcome! Oh, one more thing, one of my guests doesn't eat mammals, so fish and fowl are fine, but no other meat.
