I'm so excited for Thanksgiving this year! For the second year in a row, my parents are renting a condo in Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island, and Mike and I are down here for the long weekend.
Last year, I was a mess and so sick that I actually lost weight over Thanksgiving, but this year is going to be different. I've been taking as much Vitamin C as I can find and washing my hands every 5 minutes. I WILL eat so much Thanksgiving dinner that I won't be able to move for two days. My mom has been kind enough to offer to roast the turkey, but we are contributing some of our favorite old and new side dishes for the meal. Here's our rundown this year:
- Turkey
- Gravy
- Two stuffings - my Nona's Italian style stuffing with tons of parmesan cheese and greens as well as Stove Top for those not as adventurous
- Two cranberry sauces - homemade for all of us and the jello log for Mike
- Mashed potatoes
-
Sweet potato casserole - this recipe from the Pioneer Woman is amazing!
-
Butternut squash soup - Mike asked for this addition as a first course this year, and I can never turn down my favorite soup!
- Green beans
- Corn
- Rolls - As another addition this year, I decided to get
Callie's biscuits (y'all know they're
my favorite!) and I'll just have to heat them up on Thanksgiving!
- Chocolate cream pie
-
Toll House pie
- Wine, beer, and holiday punch
Since I'll be eating as much as possible, you know comfort for the day will be key. I already have my outdoor (for walks around Harbour Town between courses) and indoor (for watching my Panthers play) outfits planned for optimal stretchy-ness and relaxation:
All day: oversized sweater /// leggings /// necklace /// earrings
Outside: booties /// vest
Inside: slippers /// blanket /// book

That's a lot for just you 4...but I'm sure it'll be delicious! Enjoy your little getaway.
Oh man, I love the idea of picking up some biscuits from Callie's. I might need to swing by there today...
Ooh, butternut squash soup is my faaavorite! Too bad my husband hates it. :( I'll just have to live vicariously through you this Thanksgiving! Be sure to post a picture!
I'm looking to wear some leggings too. Your lineup sounds great!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love everything about that outfit. I don't know that I could spend on the Lily stuff when I live in Colorado though lol...it's more of a southern thing isn't it?
Leggings and a big, huge sweater are both items definitely on my outfit line-up for tomorrow.
Also, Italian dressing?! I'm intrigued. Sounds amazing. Almost amazing as having butternut squash soup on the Thanksgiving table---I might have to make that a thing starting this year! Yum.
Haha! The jello log! It seems like the people that like it, really like it. I love those Forever 21 leggings! They seem a little nicer because of the seam. Good price, too! Have an amazing Thanksgiving!
Those leggings and that vest!! I totally wish i would have found them before Thanksgiving, I would have ordered them to wear tomorrow ;) Happy Thanksgiving!!
Girl that's a food coma if I've ever seen it! Definitely comfy clothes all day/weekend to allow for the most food consumption!! Enjoy!
I want a seat at your table. Sounds yummy! Leggings will be worn for sure!
Stay healthy! Enjoy your holiday:) Happy Thanksgiving!!
YUM! That all sounds delish! I'm so sorry you were so miserable last year, cheers to a much better holiday weekend with the fam <3
