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

[kimlovescats]

I have been cooking for my parents, my hubby and girls, and my sister & nephew now for about 8 years. My mother did it up until then ... but it was getting very overwhelming for her, so I took over. This year will also include my new son-in-law and grandbaby Jenna. (My daughter is getting married to Jenna's Daddy the day before Thanksgiving)

I will be cooking the usual ...

Turkey w/ Gravy

Dressing

Sweet Potato Casserole .... good enough to have for dessert!

Green Beans (usually do the mshrm soup casserole, but this year, gonna make them homestyle with pork fat.... yummy!)

Watergate Salad (a must every year)

Yeast Rolls

Cranberry & Fruit Relish (recipe I'm trying new from K&L)

Tray of Bread & Butter Pickles, Celery Sticks, Green onions, Cranberry Sauce

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.

Robin my grandma makes the best homemade noodles also - Thankfully she has them frozen in the freezer since she broke her kneecap!

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.
