Im cooking for mothers day

FH was given a turkey as a bonus(multimillion dollar company and they give food-whatever). We were going to give it away, but instead we're going to make our mom's dinner tomorrow.

Any thoughts on some side dishes? Im definately making roasted potatoes, not sure about anything else. Also Ive never made a turkey, so if anyone could help that'd be great.

String bean cassorle and stuffing!!!! YUMMY!!!

Im making my mommy meatballs, sausage and ribs in sauce!!!

I was going to take a stab at making his family's sauce, but I'll hold off till im more comfortable with it.
I am stuffing the turkey though! Im excited to see how it comes out!

yup...very simiarl string bean casserole uses a can of cream of mushroom or chicken soup...

heres what i do...

I take frozen string beans and microwave them with a tiny bit of water for about 3 minutes or so. Then I put them in a big pan with a little olive oil and garlic. I sautee them and then add the breadcrumbs to the pan as well. I do this untilt hey are still a little crunchy but not too tough. So yummy and easy!

OMG that sounds yummy!!

I suggest stuffing..I LOOOOVE stuffing with turkey!!

Have and let us know how it goes!

mashed sweet potatoes

Boil sweet potatoes with a cinnamon stick or some ground cinnamon

Mash with a little bit of milk or sour cream and cinnamon and sugar

Put into a baking dish and put brown sugar and mini marshmallows on top and bake until the marshmallows start to ooze a little.

That's one of my mother's day side dishes!

thanks for the ideas everyone! I really appreciate it

Have a great mothers day everyone! All mommies of children, and mommies of pets too!
