Thanksgiving Menu and Recipes

I *think* I've decided on my final Turkey Day meal. Haven't decided on a yummy breakfast to tide us over though yet. Maybe we'll just eat my pumpkin pie for breakfast rather than dessert. :D DH and I also aren't into stuffing/dressing, so we're passing on that this year. Why make a pan if we'll only eat 1/4 of it? Part of me is tempted to buy a can of jellied cranberries even though we'd only eat half of it. It's just so traditional for my family. I also thought about making a green bean casserole till I remembered DHs reaction to it two years ago when I last made it - he's just not into casseroles. I'm pushing my luck with the squash, but I refuse to not make it. He gets his rolls, I get my squash! Fair is fair! :D
