Have you planned what you are making yet?

I am making a small 10 pound ham and 10 pound turkey for my brother. Gonna do my usual herb roast on the turkey and some brown sugar & honey glaze on the ham. I plan to make him dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls and cake for dessert. He has MS and gets tired easy plus they have a baby due on the 20th of Nov. His wife is scheduled for a c-section and she doesnt cook anyway.

Jon and I are having orange glazed duck with oyster dressing. I am making baked mac and cheese, roasted vegetables and rolls. I have gotten some woderful dessert recipes recently so I havent decided yet on what to make. Bread pudding and custard pie are Jon's all time favs so I will probably make one of them.

Jon and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Right now I'm planning on a crockpot Turkey leg, but that will depend on the store and what is available since my freezer is full. I'm cooking for one so that final menu is not critical or absolute. Perhaps I will surprise myself.

Having a full freezer makes my life fairly simple since everything is repackaged in to single serve FoodSaver bags. The food lasts forever and allows me to pick and choose what I'm in the mood for and without playing with big bags or having waste.

I would hope, however, that at least one family out there will make a pregnant turkey or a Turducken.

That would be funny

Thats my life in a nutshell. I'm on a low sodium diet and my family informs me they are not. Soooo, I divide all my low sodium purchases into single servings and repack into sandwich bags and put in the freezer.

Janie you are such an angel I am sure they will appreciate your wonderful meal!

JP and CanMan I wish more people were as apt as you guys are with your meal prep., pre-planning and making it work for one! I see so many folks who are single just eat out and eat out and never make it a priority to eat right, and whine and claim they just can't manage to cook for one. I have taught my daughter to be like you guys and shop and prepare meals for herself and pkg. things convieniently for herself. It makes life much easier and healthier!
