Help,what should I bring?
 
I am going to my SIL's house for Thanksgiving and I am just stumped about what to bring. She live 3 hours away so I can't bring anything that needs to be kept warm. Of course she said not to worry about bringing anything but I want to because my daughter and I are vegetarians and I'm afraid there wont be anything for us to eat. My SIL has a huge Thanksgiving every year for her family and my husband's family and everyone brings food. They are both true southern families so even the veggies will not be vegetarian. I can't think of anything that wont have cow milk, butter or meat in it. Right now my only plan is to I bring some tapenade for an appetizer and maybe some hummus and veggies then for dinner we could have salad (maybe) and bread. Isn't that sad? Does anyone have a brilliant idea to save us?

I have a great recipe for Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips, but it is at home and I am here at work....

Bring a Tofurkey and try to get people to try it. I do that every year. Some people like it and some people don't. So are you vegetarian or vegan?

Yorkiekids 11-21-2007 10:40 AM
What if you ask if you can come early to cook something you and your daughter can eat.

Mmm, yummy. Do you know just the basic ingredients off hand? I need to head to the grocery.

girlybella 11-21-2007 10:53 AM
okay called hubby....:D

INGREDIENTS
2 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 Golden Delicious apples - peeled, cored and diced
8 ounces raspberries
1 pound strawberries
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor

10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
butter flavored cooking spray
2 cups cinnamon sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix kiwis, Golden Delicious apples, raspberries, strawberries, white sugar, brown sugar and fruit preserves. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Coat one side of each flour tortilla with butter flavored cooking spray. Cut into wedges and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle wedges with desired amount of cinnamon sugar. Spray again with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges. Allow to cool approximately 15 minutes. Serve with chilled fruit and spice mixture.

I like using apricot preserves....and I also put cinnamon sugar in bag and shake the mixture on the triangles after first coat of cinnamon sugar!

Enjoy!

I still have the problem traveling the 3 hours though. I've actually never had tofurkey but it would be hilarious to try to introduce it to my southern fried inlaws.:p We're not vegan but we don't use butter or cow's milk- our one little exception being cheese:rolleyes:- but not a lot. I really wish I could give it up all together. We do eat eggs but I buy organic cage free eggs and my SIL doesn't. We'll probably have to just make an exception since it's Thanksgiving. I'm going to bring a pumpkin pie so we wont have to miss out on that.

It's such a long drive I can't get there early. We are having to leave the dogs at home so I'm figuring 6 hours total drive time and 2 hours there so they'll only be left for 8 hour. Can you tell how excited I am about this trip?:rolleyes:

Wow, that sounds goooooooooood.

OMG that sounds so good! I am definitely bringing that. Thank you!:)

EDA- do you think I could make this tonight or is it better made fresh?

Tiggerwit 11-21-2007 11:09 AM
Drinks?

A salad would make it probably. Or desert.

girlybella 11-21-2007 11:43 AM
I have made the salsa the night before but I would probably do the cinnamon chips tomorrow, that way they are crispy and fresh!!

Let me know how you like it!!!!

grayxie 11-21-2007 12:30 PM
I have a recipe for Pumpkin Lasagna, but it has dairy products in it and will probably only be lukewarm by the time you arrive.

Yeah, that's the problem- I have plenty of things I could make but none of them could travel safley.

I've decided that I'm going to just relax. Eating butter or milk one day isn't going to kill me and my main reason for avoiding them is to not support the dairy industry. Since I didn't buy the food, I'm just going to eat it. That opens up the veggie casseroles so we should be fine.

Here's a good salad
Bag of baby mixed green
1/2 bag of spinach leaves
1/2 cup cried cranberries
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup of dry chow mein noodles
1 pear chopped
2 kiwis chopped
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained
1 bottle of Marie's brand poppy seed dressing, to taste (a little goes a long way so don't put in too much, it can get too overpowering)

LOL, thank you so much! I actually just asked for that recipe on your other thread- you read my mind.:p
That sounds delicious! I think I will bring that and the fruit salsa.

I have an idea!! You can skip your plans and come over here :) I'm having tofurky and it's just the monkeys and me so we will have plenty for 2 more~

Have a great time and I'm so glad I saw this thread. The recipes look yummy!!!

Nikki+2 11-23-2007 08:47 AM
Christina, your fruit salsa was a huge hit! It is definitely going into my menu rotation. My SIL asked if she could keep the leftovers for waffles in the morning- yum!

I ended up not making the salad because I remembered they had a big salad the last time I spent Thanksgiving with them and figured we didn't need two- what a mistake!

Thanksgiving, food-wise, turned out to be my worst case scenario. There was no salad- the ONLY thing that did not have meat was the cranberry sauce which I don't like and sweet potatoes which I just gambled on them not having been made with marshmallows. My Thanksgiving dinner consisted of a roll, some cantaloupe and honeydew that I snagged from the h'orderves table, a few olives, and sweet potatoes. This was eaten while being made fun of by my SIL's father. It was definitely a time to remind myself that Thanksgiving is a day to reflect on all that you are thankful for and not the meal.:p

Kim, I sure would have had a better day with you!:) BTW, I did buy the ingredients for the salad and we'll be having it tonight or tomorrow.

I just went looking for this post to see how the fruit salsa went over with your family and I am SO HAPPY that they all enjoyed it as much as I do!! I make it all the time and my family and friends just cannot get enough of it!! Glad it worked out for you!!!!

Warmly....Christina
