What do you do for Thanksgiving?

Re: What do you do for Thanksgiving?

My wife and I have hosted Thanksgiving at our house for years now. Of course she does all of the cooking but I do the cleaning (it's the least I can do). We may ask for people to bring an item (other than food) but we provide all of the food and we wouldn't have it any other way!

That is really nice of you, I love hearing when guys help out. I cook dinner most night and clean up but on holidays my husband helps out with the cleaning...I just wish he did it on regular nights too lol.

The menu usually consists of 5 - 10 different homeade pies: peanutbutter-cream pie is always my personal favorite. Turkey separated into dark and light meat, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans (my grandma makes amazing green beans btw), yeast rolls, corn (freshly shucked) various souffles, brown rise with musrhooms (so good). Plenty of sweet and unsweet tea...that's all I can remember at the moment, and now I'm officially starving .

Peanut butter cream pie sounds amazing!

Stuffing!

haha yesss. love making the same thing for left-overs all weekend... mmm mmm!

Same here. I am going to make a turkey soup this year with the carcass though.

I am making a turkey, sweet potato souffle, homemade cranberry-orange sauce, homemade cornbread stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, pumpkin-bourbon pie, vanilla pudding pie in an oreo crust, my mom is bringing a deep dish apple pie, and I dont know what other desserts to have. I only have 5 for dinner but will have about 11 for dessert.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Yummmmmmmmmm!

Unfortunately, I have to work on turkey day. I'll squeeze in some foodies somehow though.

We will be visiting both sides of the family. We had a baby this year so it will make it all the more special. I am making some homemade stuffing and mac & cheese to take with me. After all the family stuff is over, a couple friends and myself will try to drown ourselves in beer and mix till the early morning hours since no one has to work the Friday after.
