Thanksgiving Poll

Are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

 

If so, for how many and what side dishes are you making?

 

If not, what are your Thanksgiving plans?

 

What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?

Re: Thanksgiving Poll

  • I wanted to have people over, but our friends seem to be traveling. So, I think it will be just me and DH. So, we'll defrost the big chicken from the freezer. I don't know what else we'll be making- mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, fiesta corn. I'll make a traditional pumpkin pie, but I do like cream cheese pumpkin bars. This is all my excuse to finally use my china set, gravy boat and nice table linens. This will be the end of my first trimester, so I should be feeling better.

  • This is my first post in MONTHS!!  ps...your apple fritters look amazing...yum!!

    Are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

    DH and I will be in his hometown Hollywood, FL for Thanksgiving...so no cooking for me.  Sorta sad about this.  I'm sure to some action in MIL's kitchen though!

     

    If not, what are your Thanksgiving plans?

    We'll be in Hollywood, FL for Thanksgiving day and we have a bat mitzvah to attend that Saturday...Sunday we'll be going to Orlando for my b'day and spending time with my family and our friends...so excited to see everyone!

     

    What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?

    One year on Oprah, she has a recipe for Pumpkin Chiffon Pie...OMG, it's the best!!

     

     

  • My Mom and I are co-hosting Thanksgiving this year.  We make Butternut Squash Soup, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Creamed Cauliflower, Cranberry Chutney, Green Beans and Almonds, and a few other veggie side dishes TBD.

     

    Dessert is a big thing in our family for Thanksgiving.  My Mom makes a killer pie crust, so she usually makes 4 crusts and my sister and I make the fillings- apple pear cranberry, pumpkin, cherry, and pecan. 

  • Hi Ladybug!  What?s up? We miss you around here. ;-)

  • I'm gonna try very hard to be a better nestie!! ;)
  • We'll be going out to dinner for Thanksgiving.  If I were a betting woman, I would say we will end up at a steak joint.  Preferrably Old Homestead. I might pick up a Junior's Pumpkin Cheesecake to eat later on in the evening.
  • I'm making mashed potatoes to send over to my ILs, I'll probably make something for my mom's, and I'll probably do at least 1 dessert for each house.

    We'll be going to my mom's house in NJ (about a half hour away) for dinner, then to my ILs for dessert.

    My personal fave dessert is my aunt's ambrosia, it is SOOO good.  She always makes extra so I can take a big container home with me.

    If not, what are your Thanksgiving plans? We're heading to NJ (my dad's bro's house) and spending the day there. If we get back early enough, we may stop by DH's sister's house.   What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Pecan pie...and I'm making 1 to bring to my aunt and uncle's...yummy!

  • Are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

     

    Actually, this is the first year that Im NOT cooking. I love to cook, but am looking forward to relaxing a little more...

     

    If so, for how many and what side dishes are you making?

     

    If not, what are your Thanksgiving plans?

     

    The husband and I are going to be at my boss's house - bear in mind, my boss is like a mom to me really. My mom passed away 7 years ago, I have a very small family. My husband doesnt have a good relationship with his, so we typically do our own thing. We're excited to go.  

     

    The menu is: Filet Mignon, Lobster, Crab Legs, Scallops and King Shrimp (she's flying that in from Alaska!), some kind of crown pork thing, and of course a Turkey and all the sides.

     

    What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?

     

    I dont really have one. Im in charge of the desserts for Thanksgiving at her house, so I'll be making pumpkin whoopie pies, maybe two-three different kinds of truffles and something else.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)
  • ::waves hi to Mrs. Ladybug::

    Are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

    Yes I am. :)

     

    If so, for how many and what side dishes are you making?

      Just DH and I - we'll be fresh from our vacation plus I just can't be bothered with hosting yet.  I am making a baked chicken (turkey is just too big for just us), green banana pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing, red beans, cranberry, asparagus.

     

    If not, what are your Thanksgiving plans?

    n/a

     

    What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?

    I like apple pies. I don't think I will have the energy to make one, so we'll buy one.
