The Thanksgiving essentials are all taken care of, turkey, pie, potatoes, ham, rolls, salad...
we are supposed to bring something and I'm at a loss!!
Oh and my family eats pretty healthy so I can't bring anything sugary... Ideas??!
-
Cranberry orange salsa? Fruit? The easiest pumpkin cookies ever? http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-pumpkin-spice-cookies-cake-mix-147653
-
Green bean casserole? Butternut squash soup? Roasted carrots in balsamic vinegar?
-
Another side? Roasted vegetables? Healthy green bean casserole? Glazed carrots? There are so many veggie sides that are so tasty. I don't think you can have too many...
-
@aprk: the cranberry orange salsa sounds intriguing!!
-
@Mrs. Pen: it's tasty. Lots of different variations online, but I do cranberries + oranges + jalapeño + a bit of sugar (and Grand Marnier if you are feeling festive). Freeze the fruit ahead of time so it won't get too mushy in the food processor.
-
I'm making corn pudding (from the NY times...just googled it) and a squash zucchini mash (pretty much just tons of chopped squash simmered in water and butter, haha)
-
I agree that green bean casserole is missing from your table! I don't really eat it, but everyone else seems to love it.
Or a corn dish--very pilgrimey. Ya know, like corn casserole, creamed corn, etc.
-
Party game for at the table? Flowers for the centrepiece?
-
What about some roasted brussel sprouts or a sweet potato dish? Pumpkin cheesecake?
-
I'd bring a vegetable tray and a really stellar dip!
-
@Arden, butternut squash soup sounds tasty and perfect for Thanksgiving!
-
Cheese platter? A hostess gift like a candle? Flowers?
-
I would bring an app for people to munch on before the main event. Bruschetta, or asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and puff pastry, something like that.
-
I always send my mom a nice floral centerpiece the day before Thanksgiving since I don't bring any food. She's got it covered! But, she loves the flowers.
-
MIL is having me pick up dried fruit (yuck!) I'd much rather bring fresh fruit that ill want to eat
-
I'm bringing apple cider sangria and a cheese and fruit plate for snacking earlier in the day.
Or a corn dish--very pilgrimey. Ya know, like corn casserole, creamed corn, etc.
