The Perfect Thanksgiving Meal For Jake [VIDEO]

I am not a big fan of 20 different dishes on the table for Thanksgiving. I like what I like and am not one to try things I don't think I will like. Thanksgiving is about stuffing yourself and being thankful for friends and family. So If I'm going to truly stuff myself this is what I want to see on the table. LOL

5. Real Mashed Potatoes and Beef Gravy

Don't try slipping in Potato Buds on this guy. I will know! The gravy should be homemade, but if not that's ok as long as it is Heinz. Haha! I'm not picky am I?

4. Meat (Turkey and a small Ham)

You really do need both. A lot of people don't like turkey believe it or not, and some don't like ham but between the two you are bound to make everyone happy. I actually love them both.

3. Creamed Onions with Bread Crumbs on Top

You know what? I have to be honest, you need to just let my mom make this and I'll bring it over from her kitchen. You can never make this once a year treat as good as my mom.

2. Sweet Potatoes with Orange Glaze and Walnuts

Oh yeah! This is the king of all holiday delicacies. I hope my girlfriend is not reading this becasue she is now saying "To hell with him if he thinks I'm going to pull a Paula Deen and cook all of this for him!" LOL

1. Plain Jane Green Beans

Just cut the ends off, put them in a pot with a little ham hock and boil them for 20 minutes then dump them in a bowl. I love green beans.

And.. for dessert? Don't be shocked by this.

PECAN PIE!!!!
