Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I have not planned what I want to make yet.
My hubby is requesting smoked ham and potato salad.
My youngest son is requesting smoked ham and squash casserole.
My neighbors that are coming over want some green bean casserole and homemade biscuits.
Sounds like a great menu, so where do I find the recipes? There are millions of sites online that have some of the best recipes.
Some are very simple and some are very complex.
Think about how much time you have to spend cooking.
If you are short on time or don't have anyone to help, you might want to go with some simple recipes.
But if you have lots of time and or some help, go with the fancy recipes and have some fun.
A smoked ham can be a delight when covered with cloves and cooked low and slow on a smoker.
Potato salad, can be such a neat dish to play with.
In my house, my son and I love pickles, but my hubby doesn't.
But, my son don't like onions and my hubby and I do.
So, I wind up making three different bowls of potato salad to satisfy everyone.
Green bean casserole is a plain and simple recipe, but if you want to spice it up, open up the spice and herb cabinet and get creative.
You can do the same thing with a squash casserole recipe.
You can add all the extra things to make a gourmet dish.
Now homemade biscuits are cut and dry, no pun intended.
There are a few variations, but not that many.
All biscuits are made with the same basic ingredients, but there is a little room for variety if you get the feeling you want a little something special.
