We are not eating for a few hours, but most things are turning out good so far. Crockpot stuffing is delicious. Turkey seems to be turning out. Pies and cookies look good. Cranberry sauce a bit on the too-saucy side; sweet potato casserole too soupy, somehow, but still tasty. Mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls are yet to be determined, but are pretty sure-fire.

Amazing. My family is very non traditional about Thanksgiving, so this year we decided to to a barbecue theme. Pulled pork, potato salad, cole slaw, steamed green beans, Mac and cheese, rolls....then we had 3 pies (buttermilk, pumpkin and pecan) and buckeyes!
Not eating until tomorrow but what I have prepped ahead of time : Homemade pesto twists turned out pretty damn good... a little crispy on the bottoms but I don't think it detracts from the flavor. Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are awesome. Won't know about the sweet potato spoon bread until tomorrow.
ETA : forgot about spinach dip because that barely counts as cooking, but it's good, as always.

I feel so fat.
What are buckeyes? BBQ thanksgiving sounds delicious!
Everything but the brussels sprouts were perfect, I wasn't a fan but my sis liked them and took them home. I guess my pecan pie could've been cooked longer but it was still tasty.

Everything turned out great except Grandma Nugget' s Mac and cheese. I didn't have enough white sauce, I don't think. Should have done 3 cups. Oh well, it was still good, just not as gooey as I like it. Everything else was amazing. They are fights over leftovers going on downstairs right now, so I think that's a good sign.
Turkey flavor & everything was fantastic, but it was my first year making it in the roaster & it didn't get browned at all. I didn't have space to throw it in the oven for a few minutes, either. We just carved it without the skin and it was great. My herb gravy was great (though I think his family would prefer I just open a jar/can of gravy.
I also made a ham in the crock pot that was to die for! So simple and SO tasty!
I'm not "allowed" to try anything new, so the rest was just plain and boring. Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls from Sam's Club.
Really, REALLY good. I loved everything that I made. Everyone came back for seconds (and thirds) of Grandma Nugget's mac and cheese. It was soooo good. I hesitated putting that much cheese in because it was A LOT but it was perfect.
I also did the turkey in a bag and it was reallllly good.

I burned my stuffing Muffins. The thing I was mostly looking forward to. But I have more stuffing so I will bake it tomorrow. H fried the turkey and made Bread pudding, both were awesome.
ETA-my favorite was friends roasted veggies and some vegan scalloped potato dish.
I made orange cranberry sauce and mashed sweet potatoes. Super easy, and it turned out great! My aunt brined a turkey, which she has never done before. It was so good! Everything was very good last night.we even payed cards against humanity. Omg! It was so fucking funny!
