This coming week will be my favorite food time of the year. Since I don't eat turkey and the kids have been traditional dinners on Thanksgiving with their in-laws, we like to have homemade pizza bread when we do our family dinner one night this week.
We also celebrate my daughter-in-laws birthday with the Reese peanut butter brownie trifle. A hit no matter what the occasion. Brownies, Reese's, pudding, Cool Whip...how can you go wrong with that?
We will also have brownie cookies. So much easier to eat than having to cut a brownie. Just grab a couple of cookies and munch any time you want.
Of course I will also make a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. My icing is homemade from scratch and The Grands love it.
I work most of the day on Thanksgiving day. But I still pre-cook a meal early that morning and take part of it to work with me and leave the rest to eat when I get home and as leftovers. I always have ham, baked beans, potato salad and deviled eggs. Some years I have mashed potatoes and gravy and some years I don't.
I may try my hand at graham cracker pie. This is one Allen made one year. I have tried it three years in a row and it has not turned out.
I always make me some oatmeal no bake chocolate cookies. I have them for breakfast while I look at Black Friday ads.
Well, now I'm hungry so I need to go eat. I can't wait for all the good food this week.
