Ready for Turkey Day?
Are you hosting? What's on the menu?
Re: Ready for Turkey Day?
I'm ready! I love Thanksgiving.... SO much yummy food!
Not hosting (we have nobody to host haha). We're going to Shannon's parents for dinner... I really hope they have the stuffing they have at Christmas time haha..
Eh, I don't really care for Thanksgiving food. I know I know, I'm a weird. This I do know!
We are going to Nor Cal for Thanksgiving and I'm not looking forward to the 12 hour drive with a 6 month old.................
I am looking forward to thanksgiving with Zach! I know he will have no idea what is going on but I still can't wait. My sister is hosting her in laws and my family so that will be fun.
Stacy, I hope the drive goes well for you guys, fingers crossed he sleeps well a good majority of the drive
SO excited!
We're not hosting this year (we trade off with my Mum) so I think I only have to do a couple of dishes to bring. But I'm trying out some new recipes this year and that always makes me happy
We drove to Sacramento in June when DS was 7 months old--- he was easier than the dog!!
We actually left after work around 5:30 and stopped for the night in Bakersfield. Got up the next morning at 7 and finished the drive--- DS slept the entire time, only waking when he got hungry. We drove straight through coming home, stopping every 3 hours for a break and again DS slept the entire time. He got a little off schedule at night, with all of the day time sleeping, but it really wasn't a big deal. GL!
I'm thinking we'll just stay home and cook a small dinner. My mom will probably want us to come up to her house in N. Scottsdale, but I really don't feel like spending the day with the a$$ she married. So, well see.....
kind of yes, we'll be at DH's gma's who's 88. So I'll be cooking
Turkey/Gravy
Stuffing
Sweet potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry sauce
Chocolate Cream Pie
Mincemeat pie
Pumpkin pie
I'll make everything except the stuffing (stovetop)
We're hosting and I'm not ready. Lol... It sort of snuck up on me this year. I have a lot to do still... everyone is invited and we do our Thanksgiving potluck style but DH and I make the main corse... Turkey and I always make these super yummy rolls... I got the recipe from the Food Network mag last Thanksgiving. They were a huge hit so I'll be making those again.We will do two turkeys... one traditional and one smoked, the rolls, I'm make some pre-dinner snacks, and I usually make a homemade pie. Everyone else is bringing salad, veggie sides, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc.
I also do not particularly love Thanksgiving food but it is DH's favorite holiday so I've learned to like it more.
Yeah, we are leaving after work and driving through the night in hopes that he will just sleep most of the time we're on the road. We're not stopping over night so I hope we don't regret that later. LOL
Bummer =( I am sorry Deanna
This
I'm sorry, that really sucks. but at least you get christmas off!
I'm hosting this year but i may just have to cook and bring it to my moms. she just had surgery and probably won't feel up to going anywhere so we may just bring thanksgiving to her. I'm splitting the cooking between me and my FIL
