We will go to my cousin's house and have:

Turkey Breast (ho hum I like dark meat)
Instant mashed potatoes
Homemade gravy (hopefully will drown out the flavor of the instant mashed)
Stove top stuffing (which I love)
Sweet Potato Casserole (which I make)
Spinach Souffle (which I also make)

and, of course, pumpkin pie. And perhaps a deviled egg or two; but I dunno since I won't be there to make them.

I hate instant mashed potatoes too

The popovers are super easy, do you want the recipe...or are you all set? They're yummy, bread-y thingys (great texture) that we like to do instead of a roll. They look like this: http://judicialpeach.files.wordpress...1/img_1274.jpg

And this is a popover pan (though, I know some people use tall coffee mugs): https://www.discountcooking.com/shop...GEIAPAOIBA.jpg

The lava cakes you make in little ramekins and, oh my . The outside of the individual cake is more cakey, and then the inside is still rather liquidy. Oh heaven! That recipe is easy too...

My DIL is bringing:
-Turkey-Cornbread Dressing
-Pumkin Trifle Dessert
Mom is bringing:
-Tropical Pistachio Whip (great light dessert -- I don't know official name -- we call it Mom's dessert, cause she always brings it by request)
-Cranberry SauceI am sure she'll bring other things, se always brings more than she originlaly plans.

Me: (looks like a LOT of Carbs for me!)
-Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
-Sweet Potatoes
-Mac & Cheese-Corn casserole
-Peas-Asparagus
-Peas
-Pumpkin Pie
-Thinking about a small ham as at least one does not care for turkey.

We always have a TON of leftovers and say we aren't going to make so much the next year but we still do. It is sot of nice though. I stock up on Glad containers and everyone gets to take enough home not to cook til the following week (or until sick of turkey whichever comes first).

Cheater!!!!

But I can't talk - we're having INSTANT MASHED POTATOS

[FlDebra]

For Garlic Mashed Potatoes, do you just add garlic to regular mashed potatoes? It sounds good to me but I am afraid if I ruin them, there will be trouble. The men in my family are all potato men except my middle son and he is a Mac & Cheese fiend -- that is why I am making it, in addition to the potatoes.

My favorite mashed potatoes are called Gouda Potatoes -- sort of lumpy mashed potatoes with skins left in, and lots of gouda cheese -- they are soooooo good. Why am I not making those? I think Ifigured too many extra calories with all the carbs I am making.

I have never made the corn casserole before, hope it turns out okay! My DIL makes it very well!

Wow, I'm so on board with this menu. I *love* garlic naan bread! They have it at Walmart groceries, and it's pure de-lish. I don't even bake it - just micro it for 2mins and then devour. I also love spanikopitas! And spinach dip! And garlic mash! Food is awesome, and that is all.

These are so easy, seriously. And we make them every year for the last 3 years. They are not overwhelmingly garlic-y at all, they're just right. I'm at work right now, but will post our recipe this afternoon. For this recipe, btw, (for 4 srvgs) - you'd need 2 oz. Romano cheese, garlic (you roast the whole head...easy), butter....and I think that's it (besides the potatoes, of course).
