What are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

[Anonymous 1]

I think we'll be contributing dessert. Dh found a cheesecake baked in pumpkins that looks amazing!

Really, that does sound good. I googled and couldnt find anything close to what you described other than pumpkin cheesecake but nothing baked in an actual pumpkin.
But my googling skills arent stellar. Can you share the link?

Nothing. We are visiting my 94 year old grandmother in Florida so I’ll order a meal to pick up from Whole Foods. She lives in a retirement home and her kitchen isn’t big enough to cook an entire holiday meal.

Im sure she will appreciate anything you bring whether you actually cook it or not. The dishes are important but not half as important as the company.

Dh cooks all holiday meals, the only thing I will make is the stuffing. And really that's just getting it made & in the fridge for dh to stuff the Turkey with.

We will have, Turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy,stuffing, corn on the cob ( we grill, take off the cob & freeze), broccoli & cheese, & biscuits.

Thats great, my dh would run screaming out of the house if I suggested that he cook a meal other than grilling or bbqing.
The grilled corn is an interesting twist, I may use this.

It's just the 5 of us and the baby can't eat anything but the potatoes yet lol, but I'm making a Turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, gravy, and "holiday" bread (it's just thesister schubert rolls in the foil pan, but I only buy them for holidays, soyhe kids call it holiday bread lol). Then probably a pumpkin pie for dessert.

You can puree some turkey meat and some of the green bean casserole for the baby, separately of course

My sister and I are responsible for the turkey and my husband is making cranberry sauce and a salad with apples and figs. My kids are making onigiri. My parents are making sriracha deviled eggs, kabocha korokke, persimmons in tofu sauce, and spinach gomaai. My grandfather is making a sushi platter . My grandmother is making eggplant oyaki. My cousin's family is bringing the dessert, chocolate hazelnut crepes. My grandparents are also making cookies with my kids to go bring to police and fire stations after dinner.

I know roast beast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls or biscuits. Depends on if my starter is sourdoughy enough. Then dessert.

I need that recipe

Pretty standard fare: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, bread/rolls, another veggie or two, and probably a pie for dessert.
