We’re hosting Thanksgiving for my side of the family this year. My side of the family is rather small when compared to my husband’s. I have two younger brothers while my husband is the youngest of five boys.

Of course, being the smaller side of the family doesn’t allow for a smaller menu. There are just certain things you expect to have on hand and eat on Thanksgiving. If just one of these required items is missing from the table it could be disastrous. There must be turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie or, wait, maybe it’s sweet potato pie. Which is the required pie?
