What are you making for Thanksgiving?
Are you responsible for the whole meal or just side dishes or desserts? How much wiggle room do you have to try out new recipes or do you have to follow a family recipe?
We just divided out dishes and I got rolls and green bean casserole. Our family follows the same recipes to a freaking T every.single.year so it's not like I can try out any new recipes without getting a ton of flack. So French's green bean casserole recipe and my great grandma's roll recipe it is!
Re: What are you making for Thanksgiving?
I'm making everything but the turkey and mashed potatoes, I think. My brother likes to do the potatoes, and mom insists on doing the turkey, then transports it sloshing all over the place. It's really kind of ridiculous, but so is she.
As long as the base ingredients are the same, people are pretty open to trying new varieties, except stuffing. Stuffing must be cornbread stuffing, period. I'd like to try oyster stuffing, etc, but no. Everything else you can try other things, although everyone seems to be happiest when you make it the classical way.
We're going to H's grandparent's house and his grandmother will prepare everything. It's always the same menu. I'll ask if I can bring something to be polite but she always says no. I wish I could bring something.
It's only going to be me, DH and Wyatt for Thanksgiving. Both of our families do not live nearby and it is really just too much to travel for a few days. I do plan on making a full Thanksgiving day meal but I haven't picked out what recipes I plan to use.

I don't know which house we're going to. I'm already feeling lazy so I'm going to try to make DH be on my side and just host it here. I don't feel like driving.
My mom is in charge of turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, and rolls.
Here's what i'm making: (i think i'm forgetting something)
Green Bean Casserole (traditions with cream of mushroom soup)
Sweet potato casserole
Pioneer Woman's Potatoes au Gratin
Pecan Pie
Caramel Apple Pie
Possibly Pumpkin Bread Pudding
