More Thanksgiving Ideas

Ok, so I'm not as cool as Shell, I didn't find pictures for my ideas, but oh well, I figured I'd post them since we're leaving in a little over a week!! Where has November gone?? Anyway, I asked Jon what he always loved having at thanksgiving, and then thought of what I'd like to try and make, and here's what we came up with:

Sherry's mashed potatoes. I know I made them last time and they didn't turn out so great, but I've made them since, so hopefully they will be better. They are seriously my favorite part of the Armour thanksgiving, so I've got to perfect these:)

Corn Bread Casserole. This is another Armour family recipe that's tradition and very yummy. I figure I'll never be the one assigned to make it for their family, but I really want to know how, so I'm going to take that on as well.

Banana Cream Pie/Real Cheesecake. I've never made either of these, but since they're the only two pies I like, I figure I better make them or else there will be no dessert for me, hehe. I haven't decided which, I'll have to see which looks easier:)

Those are the ones I've thought of that are unique. I also think we should make the rolls from mom's recipe book. They're super easy and super yummy. I always get asked for the recipe when I take them places. Also, I have a jello/pretzel dish that's good, but if someone had another jello salad they love then we should go with that. I know mom loves the cranberry stuff, doesn't that have jello in it? So maybe that's enough jello! I also have a really yummy salad recipe too, if we wanted a green salad. Anyway, hopefully these should work:) I figure we put our ideas up there and then actually make sure it's somewhat balanced in the end. Love you all!!

Sounds yummy! I remember really liking your potatoes last time! I was thinking we needed some veggies or a salad, too. So if you have a good recipe that works perfect! I cant wait!
