We have peanut soup, turkey with oyster stuffing, and orange rolls for every year for Thanksgiving. Sides and desserts vary from year to year.
This I am going to mash potatoes with parsnips then bake them with grated cheese on top. A few years ago we had bacon wrapped green bean bundles, we liked those, so I may do that again. I am looking at a couple different recipes for cranberries.

Wow, sounds fantastic! Would you want to share your recipe for orange rolls? They found really tasty for Thanksgiving. My family tradition was lefsa, but will have to buy it if I want it this year, but it wouldn’t be half so good.
