Thankgiving Meal Plan

Hello Every one,

I got my Thanksgiving Meal Plan finalized. It was a toss up between Squash and Eggplant. I didn't want to spend too many hours preparing dishes either. This is my menu. Some of the dishes can be prepared the day before. From the Alissa Cohen "Living on Live Food".

1. Drinks - Mudslide

I like this drink. It is very filling and sweet at the same time.
