Hey everyone! Technically it’s not Thanksgiving here in Canada until next Monday but we always celebrate on the Sunday night before so we can all sleep in the next day after all our hard work :) Just wanted to explain why you are seeing my Thanksgiving menu this week instead of next. I’m so excited to set my Thanksgiving table this year due to some new things I’ve found to make it all fallish and festive. I’ll be sure to take pictures! To be honest I’d much rather decorate the table than cook the dinner but I’ve picked some fairly easy recipes so hopefully everything will come out tasting yummy. Wish me luck!
Please note that due to our Thanksgiving celebrations, Menu Plan Monday will not go up next week until first thing Monday morning at 6:00 am pst. I know MPM on the actual Monday, what a concept!
Here is what’s on our menu for the week:
Monday: Kielbasa Tortellini Alfredo (I’ll make my own Lower Fat Alfredo Sauce)
Tuesday: All-In-One Pork Chop Bake
Wednesday: Better-Than-Ever Beef Enchiladas
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Baked Teriyaki Chicken served with perogies and broccoli
Saturday: Basil-Tomato Grilled Cheese and soup
Thanksgiving Sunday:
Terrific Turkey (due to my son’s allergies I’ll do the turkey using the without stuffing preparation and cook my stuffing separately)
Flavorful Mashed Potatoes (recipe from Taste of Home’s Healthy Cooking Oct/Nov 2008)
Traditional Holiday Stuffing (recipe from Taste of Home’s Healthy Cooking Oct/Nov 2008)
Chocolate Cluster-Peanut Butter Cake
Have a great week all and welcome to everyone new here, thank you so much for joining us!

The cake looks awesome. I may make that for my son’s birthday because we have some serious pb/chocolate love at this house! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! I had NO idea that American and Canadian Thanksgivings were on TWO different dates…thanks for providing me with a little bit of trivia knowledge.
BTW, that cake looks AWESOME!
Oh, that Chocolate Cluster Peanut Butter Cake is delicious. I made it for my DH for his b’day this year and we all loved it.
I found your lovely site through another blog and I have just participated in my first Menu Plan Monday.
It was nice to see your Thanksgiving menu. I still have no idea what I am cooking. Oy.
I love Menu Planning. I am really going to try to stick with this better! Thanks for always being here, whether I am or not! :)
Yay, my first MPM!!!
2nd week of MPM and loving it!! This week is crock pot weeek! I look forward to checking out other menus and getting inspiration :-)
Happy Thanksgiving! We always celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with my mother-in-law when she lived close by (she was from Canada). I always loved how it started the holiday season so “early” for me and really extended it.
I see you have a peanut butter cake on for Thanksgiving. Just a heads up that I have a gluten and dairy free peanut butter cake on my blog your son might like: http://web.mac.com/tlitzinger/Angelas_Kitchen/Blog/Entries/2007/3/31_Peanut_Butter_Polka_Dot_Cake.html
Have a great Thanksgiving! One thing I am thankful for is your great site. Thanks for hosting this every week and for all the great organizing info you give out.
That cake looks soooo good!

I plan my menus on Wednesdays or Thursday. Can I still participate even though I do it on a different day?
The pork chops and peanut butter cake look really good. I may have to attempt both here in the not too distant future.
Happy Thanksgiving! OH GIRL, I tried your Keilbasa Tortellini Alfredo recipe and it was AWESOME!!!! I used the low-fat version and it will become a staple in my household :D My family thanks you for our break from chicken ;-)
I am so excited to find this blog! I can’t wait to play along. I’ll come back with my link later once I get my meal plan up :-)
Happy Thanksgiving!
