Gobble Gobble

I am so excited that Thanksgiving is only a few short days away!  I love Thanksgiving simply because it's an excuse to get together with family and eat good food.  Speaking of eating good food, this will be my THIRD year cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family.  I have had so much fun cooking the past three years, and I love the fact that my mom gets a holiday off from cooking!  So I thought I would take some time to share some recipes that have been a hit in the past, and also ask for some new ideas from you guys!

I guess I should start with the turkey.. Now, this is something that my mom usually does because it's easier for her to just throw it in the oven when she wakes up in the morning.  I was planning on sprucing it up a bit when I get to their house, but I need help! What should I do to this turkey to make it fabulous!?

Moving on to the sides..
I usually make a baked Macaroni and Cheese, green bean casserole, yam casserole, garlic mashed potatoes, and a pecan pie.

I usually get most of my recipes from allrecipes.com.  It's a pretty good site and is fun to look at when you have nothing to do..
