Family's Coming!

My parents are coming to see us for Thanksgiving! First time in our house here. It will definitely take some time to get ready. I'll have to wash some of the "nice" dishes, cook, clean, etc.

Here's the menu:

Jerk Turkey (Turkey with a marinade/rub of Jamaican spice so you don't miss the salt)

green beans

corn 

sweet potato casserole (the one with the brown sugar-pecan topping- NO MARSHMALLOWS!!)

roasted Brussels sprouts with mushrooms and caramelized onions

whole wheat-brown rice dressing with apples and cashews (husband is allergic to sage, and likes cashews)

cranberry sauce

peach-blackberry crisp (from farmer's market products frozen over the summer) with home-made vanilla ice cream.

Yummy. And made with lots of fruits and vegetables. We'll have gravy for the meat, too. I like cooking like this once in a while. It will be fun.
