Let's talk about Thanksgiving instead of Christmas

[cardiganagain]

What are you yourself cooking/baking/making for Thanksgiving meal.

I am making the Homemade Pumpkin Pie, Homemade Sweet Potato Pie, Pumpkin Bread with Papitas, Rosemary Garlic Biscuits and Deviled Eggs.

This will be broken up between my family and H's family.

We're going to Golden Corral.

Yes, Golden Corral.

Shut it.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

That sounds fantastic, Habs.

[psychmom]

I love golden corral! Oh their rolls....mmmm

I'm making everything. I love it though. My friends who just moved to the US 6 months ago are coming over and I'm going to show then what Thanksgiving is all about. I'm super exited! The only thing I let them bring is alcohol. Lol

It totally did until mr man announced he wanted to go around 5 or 6. Imma have to hurt someone, I know it.

I am hosting, but my ILs won't eat anything other than what they have every year. So I am sticking to their traditional menu:

Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Squash
Rutabaga
Peas
Rolls

I'm also making green bean casserole because that stuff is good.
MIL is bringing a pie.

I think I might make some deviled eggs as an app too, along with veggies and dip.

I would be doing the same thing if I lived within 2 hours of one.

I drool over their commercials. I don't even know why.

We're making turkey breasts (SO much easier than a whole turkey, and we throw it on the grill), mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, potato rolls (shut up, we're Irish), stuffing, green bean casserole, gravy, cranberry jelly (straight from the can), and pumpkin pie.

I am SO ready!

[vicky]

Golden Corral Banana Pudding is the only one that comes even close to mine.

2 pumpkin pies, two ingredient pumpkin muffins, whole cranberry sauce, stuffing. H is making mashed potatoes.

We're having a healthy thanksgiving. Yeah, I know, but my eating has been crazy and I haven't been able to workout for weeks because I've been sick. I'm better now and have major damage control to do!

Appetizers:
crab stuffed mushrooms
rosemary crackers with an olive tapenade
olive bar things
shelled nuts

Meal:
turkey
herbed spaghetti squash
squash casserole
bacon wrapped green beans
mashed cauliflower

dessert:
healthy brownies

I am splurging on wine, though.

[lemondrop]

We're making apple pie, sweet potato pie, vegetarian stuffing, stuffing with turkey sausage and cranberry mojitos. I'm really excited for the cranberry mojitos!

[caitlinbree]

I'm not making anything. We travel to my moms for thanksgiving, so her and my aunt do all the cooking.

We are bringing homemade bacon for the morning after and homemade cranberry mustard for leftover sandwiches.

It's just going to be DH, me and the girls. Like it almost always is. We still make a huge spread b/c we love to cook.

Today I'm going to make fresh cranberry sauce and at least one pie. Maybe two. Definitely pumpkin, possibly apple-raspberry as well.

DH handles the turkey, stuffing, and gravy. And he usually makes fresh bread, too. I'll make mashed potatoes and a veggie side -- I think DH said he wants brussel sprouts this year.

I'm excited, it's always so much fun to cook all this stuff and eat it!

I am splurging on wine, though.

You are crazy! It's like the one day to eat, eat, eat!


I approve though because at least you are indulging in wine.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I'm making green bean casserole. Our friends invited us over for T-day when H gets out of work and I offered to bring something. She said green bean casserole so that is what I'm bringing.

I'm going to brine a turkey and haul it over to my parents' house on Saturday.

I still think Golden Corral sounds better.

I know! But dude, I've been eat, eat, eating and the thought of stuffing my face isn't even appealing anymore. Coming from me, that says a lot, lol.

BCV! Oyster stuffing! I die. I am salivating right now.

[daisyheadmaizie]

I'm cooking nothing; we are going to a friend's house. I am bringing crafts or the kids - pumpkin pie playdoh and felt turkeys!

I did cook a little thanksgiving for us earlier this week: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cheesy cauliflower, cranberry sauce, rolls, and apple crisp.

[LLL]

We are going to my parents house for Thanksgiving. I'm making the cranberry sauce and stuffing.
My mom tends to overdo it with the food so I'm sure we are going to have wayyy more then enough.
