I do not host, as my grandma insists it is her holiday, but the menu rarely changes.  My DH loves eating with my family for the lack of green vegetables.  I have taken some in the past, but they don't get eaten, so I go with it. It is not fancy and one day a year it works!

Roast turkey (I am trying to get her to do this: www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000136041 - it is amazing)

corn (frozen from the summer)

We go out to dinner on Thanksgiving day with my family, but H's family has Thanksgiving together the Saturday after. I don't know what is on their menu (his aunt hosts) but I plan to make and bring this pie: Pumpkin Cream Pie

[simpsongal]

I'm hosting 9 adults and still refining my menu. I can't decide on the stuffing - I might just go classic/basic w/apples and sausage and leeks. I already made my turkey stock and I'm making pie crusts tomorrow.

Apps - artichoke dip, crudite, cheese, olives, etc.

Main
Brined, roasted turkey (Thomas Keller recipe)
Gravy
Stuffing
Fried brussel sprouts w/capers, shallots, and lemon aioli
Mashed potatoes (FIL)
Green bean casserole (MIL)
Cranberry compote (GMIL)
