Mac and Cheese may have escaped the oven thanks to the president, but some other fowl won't be so lucky. CBS News shares the holiday menu released by the White House; the Obamas plan to dine with family and friends. Mac and cheese of the pasta variety will be served, along with: thyme roasted turkey, honey-baked ham, two stuffings (cornbread and oyster), braised greens, potatoes (mashed and sweet potato gratin), green bean casserole, and rolls. It's a hearty spread, but attendees best leave room for dessert. Six pies will be served: banana cream, coconut cream, pumpkin, apple, pecan, and cherry. (More Thanksgiving stories.)
