Thanksgiving Planning by Mary McDougall

This is the time when I begin to plan my Thanksgiving menu.  We usually have a large crowd of friends and family with us every year to celebrate, and my menu doesn’t vary much from year to year.  Many of the recipes that are a tradition in our home I have shared with you over the past several years, either in one of the cookbooks or in a newsletter.  The following recipes will be part of our holiday meal again this year.  The starred (*) items are ones I suggest for a basic meal plan, and then add as many more dishes as you feel your Thanksgiving dinner needs to fit your celebration.

Response to a Threatened Atkins Lawsuit
