Last night I sat down and wrote out our menu for Thanksgiving in list form.  This helps Mr. Wonderful and I man the oven and stove organization times to keep things moving smoothly. At our house, each kid not only gets to pick a dish they love but they also have to make it, which is great for them to learn and perfect our old family recipes to take with them when they cook for their own family someday.  However, this can lead to mass chaos and broken dishes in the kitchen if there is not some organization. We had to come up with a way to manage things…so Mr. Wonderful started instigating this and here is what I (we) do. I wrote out my menu first. THANKGSGIVING LIST for 7 P.M. Dinner MENU Turkey  Gravy  Mashed Potatoes  Herbed Cornbread Stuffing  Bacon Mushroom Walnut Cornbread Stuffing  Poblano Spoonbread  Good as Dessert Sweet Potatoes  Green Bean Casserole  Green Beans Almondine  Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onion Roasted Root Vegetables  Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Cider Vinaigrette Sweet Potato Biscuits  Pumpkin Crisp Pecan Pie Pumpkin Cheesecake  Candy Corn Popcorn Balls Pumpkin Cookies Fall Puppy Chow At this point, I curled up in a ball at the task in front of me and sucked my thumb. Then I got back up and started breaking down the tasks by time frames. COOKING TIMES Turkey 3 ½ -4 hours Oven Gravy 10 minutes -Stovetop Mashed Potatoes – 1 hour – Stovetop Herbed Cornbread Stuffing – plain – 30 minutes Oven Bacon Mushroom Walnut Cornbread Stuffing -45 minutes – oven Poblano Spoonbread 30-40 minutes Good as Dessert Sweet Potatoes -45 minutes Oven Green Bean Casserole – 30 minutes-Oven Green Beans Almondine – 15 minutes – stovetop Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onion – 20 minutes -Stovetop Roasted Root Vegetables -45 minutes – oven Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Cider Vinaigrette  Sweet Potato Biscuits -20 minutes -Oven Pumpkin Crisp Pecan Pie Pumpkin Cheesecake – Lyndsay Candy Corn Popcorn Balls Pumpkin Cookies Fall Puppy Chow Then I poured myself a good stiff drink and gave up. Just kidding…I really didn’t. Then I started organizing by writing down times that things need to go into the oven or start on the stove. Then I decided I need to make some of the stuff one or two days before, because my double ovens and 4 burner stovetop weren’t going to cut the mustard. Did you know that phrase refers to the Old English craft of making mustard?  The mustard was made in big giant barrels and developed a crust on top which then had to cut with a scythe. The scythe had to be continually sharpened to do this job or else…you guessed it..it wouldn’t “cut the mustard”! Aren’t you glad you learn so many cutting (pun intended) edge facts from Dishin & Dishes? P.S.  I have seen that crust form around a French’s spout top of mustard in our refrigerator…from messy kids who put the bottle away unwashed! P.S. It makes me want to find that kid and give them a noogie when I have to try and clean it later. I digress. Here is what my complete list looks like. THANKGSGIVING LIST for 7 P.M. Dinner MENU Turkey 3 ½ -4 hours Oven Gravy 10 minutes -Stovetop Mashed Potatoes – 1 hour – Stovetop Herbed Cornbread Stuffing – plain – 30 minutes Oven Bacon Mushroom Walnut Cornbread Stuffing -45 minutes – oven Poblano Spoonbread 30-40 minutes Good as Dessert Sweet Potatoes -45 minutes Oven Green Bean Casserole – 30 minutes-Oven Green Beans Almondine – 15 minutes – stovetop Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onion – 20 minutes -Stovetop Roasted Root Vegetables -45 minutes – oven Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Cider Vinaigrette Sweet Potato Biscuits -20 minutes -Oven Pumpkin Crisp Pecan Pie Pumpkin Cheesecake – Lyndsay Candy Corn Popcorn Balls Pumpkin Cookies Fall Puppy Chow TWO DAYS BEFORE: Make Pumpkin Cookies Roast Sweet Potatoes for Sweet Potato Biscuits & Side dish Make Good as Dessert Sweet Potatoes – don’t bake Make Puree for Sweet Potato Biscuits     DAY BEFORE: Make Sweet Potato Crisp Make Pecan Pie Make Popcorn balls Make Fall Puppy Chow Brine Turkey Make Stuffings – don’t bake Make Cinnamon Rolls for morning Lay out serving dishes and table settings & tablecloths and napkins Roast butternut squash for salad Make Vinaigrette for salad DAY OF: 10 a.m. Start Mulled Cider in the Crockpot 3:30 pm. –Turkey 4:00 Make Fresh cranberry relish Make whipped cream 5:00 bring premade dishes to room temperature 5:30 peel potatoes and boil 5:30 peel and dress vegetables for Roasted Root Vegetables 6:15 Put in Bacon Mushroom Walnut Stuffing 6:15 Start Green Beans Almondine on Stovetop 6:15 Put in Poblano Spoonbread 6:15 Put in Good as Dessert Sweet Potatoes 6:15 Put Roasted Root Vegetables in oven 6:30 Start Brussels Sprouts on stovetop 6:30 Remove turkey to rest – gather drippings for gravy 6:30 Put in plain stuffing 6:30 Put in Green Bean Casserole 6:40 Put in Sweet Potato Biscuits 6:45 Make Gravy on stovetop 6:45 Remove potatoes and drain to mash 6:45 Toss salad and dress Does it exhaust you just to read this? While you might think this silly and anal, it really helps, I promise you. Now I can look at my list and see that I’m going to be major jammed up at 6:15 because I have four oven racks and I need to put in 5 pans of food. That my friends, is when I turn to Mr. Wonderful. Except he’s probably going to tell me I’m making way too much food and to cut out a dish. In which case, I’ll go buy a toaster oven. The point being, this helps you avoid a big hassle and mess and migraine the day of Thanksgiving in trying to figure out how or when to do it all. It also lets you know if you’re loony tunes and making too much food for your ovens. Which apparently I […]
