Answer 2

Whats wrong with turkey and all the trimmings, the traditional Thanksgiving feast in America.

Roasted turkey with giblet gravy
Sausage and cornbread stuffing
Cranberry sauce
Candied yams and/or roast sweet potatoes
Green Bean casserole
Fresh baked rolls
Pumpkin pie

You can get recipes for all at Foodnetwork.com.

If you don't think you can handle cooking all of that you can usually order a pre-cooked Thanksgiving meal similiar to what I've described above from most major supermarket chains. Just pick it up the evening before and warm it up on Thanksgiving day.



or make ham sandwiches!

Answer 3

One of my recipes i love every year that is a wonderful twist on an old favorate. Basicly take some cooked sweet potatos/yams cut the skin off, mash them and put them in a casserole dish. Next put some mini marshmellows on top (just enough to cover the potatos) and bake at 350 degrees till the marshmellows melt and turn golden brown. It adds a nice taste and not to sweet.
