Hellobee Boards

We're hosting DH's family, so we're cooking the bird and making the stuffing, dressing, and mashed potatoes from scratch. Phew. I also made a couple of my great-grandmother's chocolate silk pies with homemade whipped cream. Mmmmm raw eggs....

My mom has mono, so we're also going to make chicken soup for her from the leftover stock and stuffing ingredients. Not bad for being nine months pregnant and hosting our first Thanksgiving!

Veggie turkey, corn bread stuffing, green bean casserole, glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potato casserole, corn on the cob, rolls, apple pie, pumpkin pie... and anything else I think of while I'm cooking tomorrow.

We're celebrating with friends too. They're making the turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, & a pumpkin pie. I'm making green bean casserole, sweet potato souffle, pistachio torte, and another pumpkin pie. I'm actually making two pumpkin pies because DH insists that he needs one all to himself! Oh, and we're bringing the dinner rolls!

@squid: Your menu sounds so good! You definitely have me with those last three!!

I made some candies to take down to LA, but we're doing a restaurant for the meal, and then just goodies or snacks where we're staying after.

Bah humbug! Nothing I totally forgot that Thanksgiving is today, I thought it was next week! I wasn't planning anything big this year since I'm so tired, but I was kinda hoping to be able to cook a few things just for us.

One of the disadvantages of living in a country that doesn't celebrate is it's super easy to lose track.

We are going to my dads family (we alternate my parents sides because DH's fam doesn't do holidays). Since LO is 8 weeks they let me off the hook to not bring anything!

Nothing, absolutely nothing! We're going to my parents' first around noon, and then DHs family around 6, and both told us not to bring anything! Although I will be helping my mom and sister prep and cook.

We're hosting, so pretty much everything. We have a 20lb turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted veggies, green bean casserole, corn pudding, homemade dinner rolls, two homemade pumpkin pies...and I'm sure I forgot something! My husband loves hosting and tends to go a bit overboard. Our guests are each bringing a dish too. We are going to have sooo many leftovers.

Absolutely nothing.

Well I guess that's not true, I helped prepare a teeny tiny bit yesterday but I was so busy with LO that I didn't get to do much. I made the cheese tray.
