I just finished making 5 batches of dinner rolls. Well 4 1/2, I made the other half batch into cinnamon rolls.

Can't you just taste them?

My uncle does Thanksgiving at his house every year, and most of the family goes to that. However, since my parents divorced and mom has a new guy (that no one likes, lol), Dad is by himself and I can't stand the thought of that.

So I decided last year to cook myself, and have Dad over. This year, we're having not only Dad here, but also one of my sisters, her husband and son, and my best friend and her two girls (her husband is deployed).

Here is the menu for this year. Me: Turkey, cheesy broccoli & rice casserole, candied yams, rolls, my no-bake cherry cheesecake, pumpkin pie, apple cobbler. My sister is bringing herbed cheesy mashed potatoes, My best friend is bringing bread pudding, Dad is bringing the cranberry sauce.

I love your menu. What time do we eat.

My family always does pot luck. We're frying a couple of turkeys (one for my parents and one for my inlaws) and bringing green bean casserole to my parent's house. We will be buying another turkey for the weekend. Can't get enough of fried turkey. It is soooo good!

MyLilReese · 11-25-2009, 02:26 PM

Yummmm!!! Ya'll are making me soooooo hungry. I can't wait till tommorrow, we are going to my family's house in northern Alabama.

MJJ56 · 11-25-2009, 02:27 PM

I'll be cooking this year much to the dismay of my family.

Ever heard that saying - "I only have a kitchen because it came with the house"? No one has ever called me Better Crocker!
As you sit down to a wonderful dinner, think of my poor family, but bless them for being so brave!

Not really sure how "thankful" they will be!

I just love Thanksgiving! My hubby always does all the cooking

(and my mom and I do the clean up). He sticks the bird in the rotisserie and it comes out soooo tender! Yummm!! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Mom to Hot Rod · 11-25-2009, 03:23 PM

I am! It's really the first time in a couple of years so I'm excited. We used to do it all the time.

For starters, rumaki, sweet and sour meatballs, potstickers then we've got, turkey, ham, sweet potatos, potatos cut up and cooking turkey juices and drippings, stuffing, cranberry sauce, broccoli, green beans, salad, macaroni pasta salad, homemade (awesome) pumpkin pie with freshly whipped cream, chocolate cake and brownies.

tjdmom · 11-25-2009, 04:36 PM

I'm actually off to look for some recipes next! Nothing like waiting until the last minute!

Patti · 11-25-2009, 04:48 PM

PrincessDiana · 11-25-2009, 06:20 PM

Just spent 4 hours in the kitchen! I made two batches of homemade mashed potato casserole (10 lbs of potatoes!

) and my mom's famous cornbread stuffing. I'm having Thanksgiving lunch with my family in the early afternoon and dinner with my roommates/friends at our house in the evening. LOTS of eating for me

Thanksgiving has already passed here in Canada, but I would LOVE a round two if anyone has room for one plus 1 yorkie

emilyann · 11-25-2009, 07:13 PM

I am so anxious. I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner at our house for the first time ever! My mom, her bf and my little brother are coming over.
