Thanksgiving!!! Who's Cooking? (and what?)

[christa]

If your husband likes plain and simple, there's always just green beans almondine - green beans with a little butter, tossed with toasted almond slivers. A simple classic, for those not allergic to almonds (as I sadly now am).

That's a great one, Karen! And funny thing you mentioned it because my hubby LOVES almonds! We actually keep cans of them to snack on through the week! I might do that instead of the bacon & onions . . . sounds healthier anyway!

Mashed potatoes
cranberries
olives
stuffing

Hey, glad I could help! At family functions now they have to put the almonds in a dish next the green beans and let people add their own so I can avoid a trip to the emergency room, but I used to like green beans that way!

We are having it here at our house. My mom is cooking the turkey and I am going to help her out with all the other things, like usual. My Aunt Patty, My Uncle Ed, my second cousin Sammy, my Aunt Barbara, my cousin April, and hopefully my brother is coming...(he's been having car troubles lately..) and I haven't seen him since August. I love Thanksgiving, but not as much as I used to, because my grandmother (my mom's mother) passed away today 2 years ago. (I'll make a thread soon..)

Wow, this thread is making me really hungry! Everything sounds so good.

We will be going to my mom and dad's. Everyone is pitching in and bringing some food. Mom will be making her homemade noodles (the best!), mashed potatos, green beans and pumpkin pie and if I know my mom she will fix a ton of other stuff. My sister is bringing her yummy banana dessert and my brother-in-law is smoking the turkey. I'm going to be making macaroni and cheese, the stuffing, a pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling and deviled eggs. I think I might even try to make some pumpkin fudge. I'm looking forward to being with my family and eating lots of yummy food and then bringing home tons of leftovers.

I've never had it either..lol. I came across the recipe the other day and thought it sounded yummy. Its an easy recipe with the marshmellow creme and some white chocolate chips and of course pumpkin. I picked up the ingredients yesterday and I'm hoping to make it today. I'll let you know how it is.
