This week we asked readers their plans for Thanksgiving, what’s on the menu, and how they hope to spend the day.
Well, my plans are to visit my sister, her husband and family, and my other sister and her husband and family up in White Plains. I’ll have some turkey and watch the football game. It’s either Dallas or Detroit. And of course will have all the trimmings.

I’ll probably be at home. Yes, I hope to be eating on Thanksgiving Day; my vegan Thanksgiving with Portobello mushrooms and cranberry-orange relish and cauliflower rice and a glass of grape juice. And will have a great time, no matter what we do.

I am going to my auntie’s house. It’s a pretty long ride, but I get to see the whole family and I’m thankful for that. My aunt is a great cook and everyone helps with the side dishes that are delicious. My favorite is cranberry sauce with turkey.

I’m lucky enough to have a lot of friends and family that invite me to join them on that special day, so I will be house-hopping and I’m looking forward to putting smiles on the faces of the people I care about. I usually look forward to the turkey, but seeing how I recently turned vegan, I’m looking forward to my mother’s homemade baked mac and cheese. I am thankful for making another year, considering Thanksgiving is a day after my birthday this year.

This year I will be going to visit my cousin at her new apartment. It will be her first time having family over. I’m looking forward to seeing the family as well as having turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Thinking back, Thanksgiving was the only time I cried while stationed in Iraq. It’s certainly good to be home.
