Thanksgiving Recipes
Every family has its own Thanksgiving Day traditions. Some prefer a casual atmosphere, others have a more formal supper, and many add their own ethnic flavors to the traditional American fare. It might be wise to check with your friend to learn about his family’s traditions.
Cooking.com has a large selection of delicious Thanksgiving recipes
…
The Menu
Turkey
Stuffing (our family has an ongoing debate as to whether you should cook it inside or separate from the bird) — there are many, many different recipes from which to choose
Turkey Gravy
Sweet Potato Casserole
Mash Potatoes
Vegetable (the traditional green bean casserole is now often replaced with a healthier mix of grilled vegetables including asparagus, brussel sprouts, beets, green beans, and whatever else is fresh and available — lots of color is key)
Cranberry Sauce
and any family favorites (ie you might want to throw in Yorkshire pudding or something distinctly British, just to personalize the dinner)

Thanksgiving Activities
Think Football
Even after all the games are over, how about NFL Greatest Follies DVD
Alternately, watch an inspiring football theme movie like The Blind Side
