Favorite T-day Food

[Duchess1]

What are you looking forward to eating most?

I can't wait for green bean casserole! I know there are all kinds of new gourmet or healthy versions now but I like the traditional trashy version for Thanksgiving.

I am also looking forward to pumpkin pie. I would kill for a slice right now.

Nothing? We ordered from a new place this year and none of the sides are really exciting to me. L is making some fresh veggies, but they are the same ones we eat for dinner (sauteed green beans and roasted brussel sprouts.) Nothing even exciting for dessert since L and the ILs have low carb cheesecake (blech) and the boys requested pumpkin pie (double blech.)

[Duchess1]

Aww! That doesn't sound very good. Want to come here? I make a mean stuffing.

Please tell me you are getting mashed potatoes the very least. It's a law that you must eat mashed potatoes on T -day.

What do you really want for dessert?

I LOVE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE. My wife hates it but I don't care! I will make (and EAT) the entire batch all by myself if I have to because I love it so much and MUST have it at Thanksgiving. I could probably eat nothing but green bean casserole for Thanksgiving dinner and be happy.

Okay, maybe that's a little bit of a stretch since Thanksgiving is pretty much my favorite meal of the year, but still.

For dessert I like pumpkin pie but I'm in love with pecan pie, which isn't necessarily Thanksgiving but I usually like to have it then. This year I'm going to try to make a chocolate bourbon pecan pie.

LOL. No, really it is okay. I don't get excited by food (which is surprising if you saw me!) I'd be just as happy with a Value Meal from McDonalds..

I don't think there are mashed potatoes. I think there is potatoes au gratin and sweet potatoe souffle. I am sure both will be good.

Dessert? Hmm. I don't know. I am not a huge dessert person.

You're killing me 2brides,killing me! You are going to make Thanksgiving cry. Lol!

How about chocolate cream pie? Crust-good! Pudding -good! Whipped cream-good! I make it all from scratch -even the pudding this year.

Bluedaisyus -You, me and my biggest casserole filled with green bean casserole? It's a date :-)

Probably my mom's homemade rolls for me. Yum.

My dad's stuffing is also on my mind. Unfortunately the desserts on T-day are going to be disappointing (no pumkin or pecan pie!!) but my mom told me she'd make both pies for me for later in the weekend. Haha, weekend full of eating here we come. That gestational Diabetes test is not until December, right...

I want in on some of this green bean casserole ladies! It's not something my family makes and we are going to my brother's so we'll be eating whatever they are serving. I am bringing rolls and pecan pie.

I look forward to homemade cranberry sauce with the turkey. And pie, a bit of both pumpkin and pecan.

I was always under the impression that green bean casserole was a Midwestern thing. So I'm not shocked by CT's confession. But I cannot explain Duchess and Kari's knowledge!

[Duchess1]

Oh,CT! The horror! It's so trashtactically good!

Kershnic - we always had it growing up,even for Rosh Hashanah. I didn't know it was regional! I just know I have to have it. I even tweak the recipe to get the taste perfect.

[awkwardpenguin]

Cranberry sauce. I'm making 2 different kinds.

[2brides]

Duchess - you'll be happy to know I enjoyed my meal. I forgot how much I love Honey Baked ham.

[seattlekari]

Duchess1 and bluedaisyus I am so happy to say that I got to enjoy green bean casserole too! It must be a favorite of my brother's inlaws as it was on the table. Yay! And I thought of both of you enjoying yours while I ate it. Blue, how did the chocolate bourbon pecan pie turn out? I saw a recipe for one but wasn't brave enough to try it with my family and SIL's family I don't know very well. 

[Duchess1]

2brides-Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed your dinner.

Seattlekari-Did you like it? I'm glad we had something in common.

Bluedaisyus -I ate greenbean casserole like it was my job! I barely ate anything else and I made it all,Lol! I hope yours was delicious too.

[seattlekari]

Duchess1, yes it was awesome and I wanted more but there were 9 of us and I didn't want to hog it!
