Can you tell that the family isn't very big? 
We are going to finalize the menu this weekend while the guys are hunting. Just what I don't want to do. 
We use to alternate, but my MIL passed away and this is our second year without her. My husabnd usually plays poker with his buddies and I do Thanksgiving with my family and bring him a plate back. Our family isn't very big either, so the cooking falls on me, my mother and my sister. We have fun though. We are finalizing our menu this week.
We're taking our camper to an RV park and smokin' the turkey!!! We live far from family, so we're trying to make this unique 
We'll have...

sweet potatoes w/marshmallows
rolls
olives
stuffing
green bean casserole
sparkling cider

Wow - our list is short compared to the rest! But it's just the four of us! And you can only load so much into a camper's refrigerator .
Ours is pretty traditional...

Thanks Denise! I was wondering what pink stuff was! Maybe I'll try that this year!

Bangs are a kind of fry bread, there are a couple different shapes people use on them. My husband is Native American and they LOVE fry bread here on the reservation. I don't make them often, mostly for holidays, and always for New Years (served with a boiled meatball called a bullet). They also fry bread in a flat round and pile taco fixings on it, it's called an Indian Taco.
Hmmm--Fried bread with meat in it. Down here we call that Meat Pies.
I usually cook everything myself except the turkey. My DH has that job.
Fried Turkey

Rice Dressing
Corn Bread Stuffing

Fruit Cocktail w/ bourbon
Cesar Salad

lefsa??--found this one too--not sure about it
Lefsa is a Norwegian/Scandinavian potato flat bread, kinda looks like a tortilla, that you spread butter then sprinkle sugar on it and roll it up and eat it! It's yummy! Maybe you have to be Norwegian to like it?! 
Okay, no meat in bread. Got it. Still fried bread--We also call this- -Begniets--Cajun fried bread. Has powdered sugar on top. Good with cafe' au lait. I know this is not what you are talking about, I just think it is sort of fun to compare the same types of food fixed with a different culture.
I can't believe that all the kids in our family love the pink stuff because of the cottage cheese......it is awesome
Me too bransmom! I can show them cottage cheese and they gag, but if I mix it with everything else.....they totally love it!!
I love Thanksgiving!! I am doing most of the cooking this year because my MIL just had surgery on her wrist and can not do anything, and my SIL is battling breast cancer and is completely wiped out. Here's what I am going to make:
2-fried turkeys (The best)
mac n cheese (homemade)
mashed potatoes
green beans
black eyed peas
butterbeans
cornbread stuffing
yeast rolls
sweet potatoe souffle
hushpuppies
collard greens
pumpkin gooey butter cake (delicious)
snickers cheesecake
pecan pie
pumpkin pie
coconut cake
I have already started some things, so it won't be so hectic at Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to it. Family gatherings are my favorite. We try to get together once a month to eat together anyway.
Bangs are a kind of fry bread, there are a couple different shapes people use on them. My husband is Native American and they LOVE fry bread here on the reservation.
we stayed at a motel on a reservation for a week or two, once or twice we ate a small restaurant there--they had a fried bread served with honey, is this something like it or is this more of a commercialized thing
anyway, it sounds good & so do the lefsa (well i'm still thinking about them )

That's probably alot like what they serve here. For meals they are left plain with butter to go on them. Sometimes people will shake them with sugar if it's a snack. And of course toppings like honey and jelly are good with them too.
I'm hosting again this year. I love to cook a big meal like this. Plus with my youngest still needing a nap, I"d much rather be at home!
