What have you been asked to bring to the Thanksgiving meal?

I am constantly getting sticker shock. Everytime I go to the store it seems that everything has went up. I think we are going out to eat this year. I won't be in a group this year. My daughter is going with the b/f's family and it is just going to be the three of us. I think I might do a dessert to enjoy at home and have dinner out.

I guess you can say I am bringing everything because it is here and I am cooking. Though if my husband wants homemade stuffing, he will make that and I am going to see if my son will make homemade rolls, everything else I am making./.

You surprise me...I thought that you would make the dressing for the cole slaw...I am sure the ingredients would add up to only the price of one pre-made! Yes....I did a discussion at our Thanksgiving (a month ago) about the price of Pumpkin..pie filling! And everything I read, we'd better be prepared for more shocks! Happy Thanksgiving...enjoy!

I know! That stuff can get expensive! My family we all brought things...but it was a chore as some of lived farther away and it was hard to bring something cold and reheating once here just took time. I stopped it when I started having the family functions and did it all... The my brother got into cooking and he always wanted to bring the turkey or ham, but he lived an hour away! But he did it. yeah it was cold when he got it here, but we reheated it. He just liked doing it! But a tip...plan ahead....decide what you are going to bring a month ahead of the function and then watch sales to get the non parishable ingredients..the little bottles nad things like that..watch for them to be on sale and use coupons.

I used to always bring my banana pudding. Now I either buy it or I don't get it. My daughter usually cooks. Not much family left. Just my daughter and her two kids.

This year we all have to bring along a dish of choice! So we decided upon baking a deicious apple pie as a family and then brnging som ice cream over. Doesn't that ound jus wonderful? During our test bakes, I got to try two apple pies and I was awesome. If you're family is having any, I would highly recommend it because I hs fruit, smothered in absolute goodness! :)

I am making most of it. I will be doing the turkey this evening and putting it in the slow cooker in the morning. My DIL is bringing the mashed potatoes....my sister the rolls and fruit salad. The rest I am doing. Picked up my pies this afternoon. I have a friend that makes them for extra income. She is such a good baker!

I get the honor of cooking the entire meal. Yes prices are really high this year even the turkeys were really high priced. I am making Turkey, ham, lasagnia, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, corn, green beans, homemade gravy, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie, lemon merengue pie, and pecan pie. I have to get up around 5:00 AM tomorrow morning to start cooking, today I am cleaning. Have a good time at your celebration.

I was asked to bring an appetized. I said I could make some pumpkin bread. The last few years I have and alot of my family enjoys it. I am going to my oldest nephew's home tomorrow. He said pumpkin bread would be great. I know my older brother and his wife are bringing dessert and my younger brother and his wife are bring a vegetable tray. So it should be a great meal with the turkey and the trimmings.

Since was the family of my husband that promoted the thanksgiving dinner I don't know what is going on with that, but I think that they asked him for money, so I don't have to cook anything, I just have to show up there.
