What is everyone planning to eat for Thanksgiving? Will it be at your house or somewhere else? Are you cooking everything or is the fam bringing food too?
We are having T-Day at our house. Everyone will bring something. I'm making the Turkey (or we may buy a deep fried one from a restaurant). I'm also making a chocolate dessert...not sure what yet exactly. And I'll provide the cranberry sauce and turkey gravy. My sisters and mom will be bringing:
Sweet potato casserole
Green beans
Deviled eggs
Corn bread dressing
Peach cobbler
Asian slaw (the kind with the Ramen noodles in it)
Corn casserole
Broccolli casserole
I'm hungry just thinking about it!
Re: Thanksgiving Menus?
We are going to my parents' house for T-giving. This is what we're having (what I know of):
Rotisserie turkey, garlic mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls, tabouleh, meshi (we're part Syrain..my gma is 100% and will be making these dishes). For dessert we're having pumpkin pie, apple pie and I may make a pear bread pudding.
I think I'm missing a couple things..all I know is that I'm going to eat myself in to a turkey coma. ?
Hickory Smoked turkey from Bates Turkey Farm, cornbread dressing, gravy, jelly cranberry sauce and cranberry/orange sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole with the pecan and coconut topping, brussels sprouts, corn casserole, mac & cheese, crescent rolls, pickled beets ( long story ) Dr. Pepper for Brandon, coke, tea for the rest of us, pumpkin cream cheese pie (Paula's recipe) and Lauren is bringing wildrice casserole and her famous vegetable casserole. Wow...that is a LOT of food. LOL
I'm working on what I'm going to make now as B and I decided late last night it would just be us. We invited the intern in his office as she has to work too and she is from Iowa and won't be able to go home either. I am going to order a ham and then just fix a few sides. I told her it was low key, she could come over in her sweats and we'd watch movies or football - just to relax!!!!
I know I'll do mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls, fruit, maybe my mac&cheese, and not sure what else. Trying to keep it simple since there will just be the 3 of us!!! and B is SUCH a picky eater. He doesn't even like turkey (wth!?!?!?)
My parents are coming into town, and we are doing Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow! I am making everything from scratch except for the rolls (and obviously the meat).

We always go to MIL's house in Florida for Thanksgiving. It's tradition that she and DH cook together from his grandma's recipes and we all help. Usually we have turkey, stuffing, gravy, cornbread casserole, green bean casserole, sometime sweet potato casserole...I think I am forgetting something... it is always so good They also make chocolate peanut butter pie too
