Real Life Good for You-Naturally! Menu Planning
Here’s our Thanksgiving Menu. An optimal menu? No. A traditional menu for generations of our family? Yes. Made mostly Good for You-Naturally!™ (foods I don’t prepare are out of my hands) 🙂 – just way too much cooked food. (See tomorrow’s post for help in balancing this.)
- Turkey
- Mashed Yams – recipe to come on Wed.
- Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
- Bread Stuffing
- Scalloped Corn
- Creamy Mushroom Green Beans
- Bow-Tie or Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls, Butter and Fruit Spread – recipe for dinner rolls another time.
- Stuffed Celery – peanut butter and cream cheese (not together) 🙂
- Green Salad
- Cranberry Sauce
- Black & Green Olives
- Pumpkin Pie – recipe to come on Wed.
- Pecan Pie
What is not “traditional” on our family’s menus has been raw veggie salads. I have added, in my contributions to the meal, a “Green” Salad of some sort over the last several years (whether others eat much of it or not.)
I’ve made Spinach Salads – Spinach Strawberry is good, but strawberries are pretty high, if available at all. I’ve made an orange and spinach salad – hmm, wonder where that recipe is? It went over well. I’ve been looking at a Red Leaf Lettuce and Orange Salad, but thinking perhaps I will make Pear and Butter Lettuce this year.
Remember to include your “greens” in your Thanksgiving Menu! and Count Your Blessings!

Hmmm, hmmm, sounds good! We usually have all you listed EXCEPT for the green salad and stuffed celery. They would be good additions to the meal on Thursday. I just might fix stuffed celery to take to my mother-in-laws.
Thanksgiving Blessings!
