Thanksgiving Menu 2012

Okay, it took me at least four versions, but I finally came up with my final menu for Thanksgiving. It's mostly the same as last year, except I am going to give a cornbread and chorizo stuffing a try. But since I also love Rach's Apple and Onion Stuffin Muffins, I'll be making those, too! And yes, all the recipes are from Rachael Ray, of course.  I am the first to admit I have issues, okay?  Here it is:

• Kiss of Lemon Roast Turkey
• No Fail Gravy (in case the pan gravy doesn't work out)
• Apple and Onion Stuffin Muffins (I found this new variation on the recipe this year.  It says to mix in an egg before you bake the stuffing in the muffin tins.  Rach also has this variation in her new book, My Year in Meals.  Every year I have gotten disappointed when the muffins fell apart, but hopefully not this year!)
• Cornbread and Chorizo Stuffing (I couldn't find prepared corn bread in my store and I am too lazy to go look somewhere else, so I'll be making my own using this recipe from Martha.)
• Buttery Mashed Potatoes (and when they say buttery, they mean it)
• Sauteed Green Beans with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds (this one is quick, easy, and yummy)
• Caramel Apple-Sweet Potato Casserole
• Dinner Rolls (I am making homemade ones using recipes from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day - aren't you proud of me?)
• Orchard Fruit Pie - made this last year and I can't wait to eat it again!  A guest is bringing Pumpkin pie, too.)
