I think my parents generally pre-prepare everything and then just heat it in sequence on teh big day. <br /><br />This salad looks fantastic! I see why it is perfect for Thanksgiving. All of the flavors of fall are represented. You know what might make it even better? Roasted winter squash. Just saying. :pJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133232352924060797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163770583663178916.post-75708879103516432042009-11-20T05:59:24.158-05:002009-11-20T05:59:24.158-05:00Gorgeous salad--I love salad at Thanksgiving becau...Gorgeous salad--I love salad at Thanksgiving because it makes me feel better about stuffing all that food in my face if I can say I ate salad too.

I've scaled way back this year since I'm only having 5 at dinner and I'm trying to maintain my weight loss. That means very few hors d'oeuvres and no antipasto. We're having just some stuffed celery and cheese and crackers with cocktails; a butternut squash and sweet potato soup; roast turkey only this year (no fried one, too), stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes with sour cream and chives, mashed turnips with crispy shallots, corn casserole, brussel sprouts with pancetta. No baking for me this year, but guests will bring pumpkin pie and brownies and I've ordered a very tiny Italian cheesecake. I will definitely miss the antipasto and the pre-dinner sausage balls and whatever else struck my fancy, but I'm hoping for a good weigh in on Saturday. I can pig out vicariously by reading everyone's blogs. I make my gravy a few days ahead (turkey wings and necks). I'll prepare the corn casserole and bake Thanksgiving Day. I'll prepare the mashed potatoes and turnips the day before and reheat slowly. The only thing I make the day of is the turkey and stuffing and brussel sprouts.Arlene Dellorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077411606585700138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163770583663178916.post-48234248834640209152009-11-19T17:29:10.993-05:002009-11-19T17:29:10.993-05:00I always do a salad for Thanksgiving (my currnet s...I always do a salad for Thanksgiving (my currnet salad will be a green salad with goat cheese, nuts and dried cherries).

Yes, you read that right. Even if it were just me and my husband, we would be getting both!<br /><br />The gas grill gets the turkey on our rotisserie. The Weber gets the ham, that leaves the oven for the side dishes - and I try to make things that cook at the same temp, usually 350.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163770583663178916.post-12139184914892401002009-11-19T12:33:38.034-05:002009-11-19T12:33:38.034-05:00What a beautiful salad!

I dont think its a great solution, but the way i deal with it is try to eat up all the food in the fridge. Also, throw out stuff you dont plan to eat, and then just make do. I dont have too many options for space. <br />As for things that need my attention all at once, precook as many items as you can the day before. THen put them all in the oven in pyrex dishes before serving. This allows everything to cook at once, and i just serve it in those pyrex dishes.Heavenly Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283933713343453486noreply@blogger.com
