May 2013 Weddings

Thanksgiving chat anyone?

I'm waiting for FI to get ready to go the grocery store with me so food is on the brain.  Is anyone cooking for Thanksgiving?  What are you cooking?

Luckily we go to a friend's house who is an AMAZING cook and certainly makes enough food for everyone by herself, but I'm bringing shrimp ceviche with grapefruit and coconut milk as an appetizer.  I'm going to chop the shrimp very fine to make it into a ceviche dip with tortilla chips.

Re: Thanksgiving chat anyone?

  • I'll be working on Thanksgiving, so the only thing I'm cooking is whatever side dish I decide to bring. I am really, really bad at cooking. I have had success making a sweet potato casserole so I might go for that again.

  • Nope going to be with FI's family in Chicago this year. His aunt is a great cook so no doubt she will make a great thanksgiving meal all herself.

  • I making a dessert (mini pecan phyllo tarts from Skinnytaste) and bringing the canned cranberry sauce. 

    I made this dessert yesterday for pre-Thanksgiving with my FMIL and her side of the family and they were a HUGE hit. I made 30 of them and they were half gone before we even sat down to dinner!

    They were so easy to make. I had most of the ingredients on hand. It took me 5 minutes to mix it all together and then I baked for 12 minutes.

  • We are going to FI's parents house. I would love to host, but not sure when, if ever, anyone will come to our place. Hopefully we can have everyone over for at least one holiday whenever we buy our first house. This will be the first year in a long time that his parents have had everyone over for Thanksgiving. We usually all go to family friends house, but this year they are joining us at FI's parent's. I may bring something, not sure yet. His mom likes to plan everything. If I had a choice, I would bring mashed potatoes, since she always makes instant.

  • Spending it with my in-laws not sure what to make. I don't think just bringing wine suffices.

  • Going to my mom's and I'm making green bean casserole.  It's been at least 7 years since has had anyone over for Thanksgiving, so hopefully she remembers how it's done.  We usually go to FI's family.
