I’m still on my high from being selected as a contributing writer to the party yesterday and seeing my name and fmaily pics on MomDot, but today we must move on to the day 11 topic,

If you could only eat ONE food on Thanksgiving Day, what would it be? Do you have a homecooked meal for Thanksgiving or do you go out to eat? Does your family dress up?

With Thanksgiving so close this is surely on my mind so an easier one to write about in theory, but geez!  We have so many good foods on Thanksigiving, how could I dare choose just ONE thing? Trisha, are you for real?  I just don’t see how this could be so I’ll start with the my favorites and let’s see if I can then narrow that list down…maybe.

What do I expect at every Thanksgiving? Which food disappoint me the most if they weren’t there?

Well, there’s the obvious – TURKEY!  (preferably fried, though that doesn’t happen often)

Then there’s the Chicken ‘N Dumplings (yum! yum!)

And you can’t forget the mashed potatoes (My mom is one of the few people I know who still makes our mashed potatoes from POTATOES and not flakes)

And there’s her homemade Mac and Cheese (personally, I’d rather make Velveeta Shells N Cheese, but that still doesn’t compare to Momma’s)

And then we have to think about the DESSERTS…..

There’s the banana pudding (that I make) at Mom and Dad’s, but…..

Then we go to Mamaw’s for dinner and there’s the pecan pie

and chocolate pie…..

And this is where I get my fill of yummy! southern dressing…..

And for this MomDot Party Post, Trisha says I have to narrow it down to ONE…One I tell you….when there are all of those things on our table every Thanksgiving (and Christmas too actually)….has she lost it?

Ok, ok….I must follow the rules, right?  Now’s not the time to be the rebel.  FINE!  If I have to pick just one, I pick the mashed potatoes, no…..the dumplings…never mind….I changed my mind…I chose the pecan pie. That’s it….that’s it for sure…Well except I sure do like the topping on that chocolate pie.  But Mom rarely makes those mashed potatoes and mac and cheese.  Fine…the one thing that I only get to eat twice a year…I guess I have to go with that one. Right.  Fine….I’m going to say…the one food I can’t live without is the TURKEY!  Yep….That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Oh….and if you couldn’t tell, we eat homemade yummies every Thanksgiving and Christmas and we do it in our comfy clothes….nothing dressy or formal for us.
