No matter where I will be; I will most likely cook side dishes or desserts, unless we do it at home, then I'll have no choice but to cook a turkey or ham or possibly both..

If I go to my mother's house, I will most likely prepare a pie, apple bread, a veggie dish, cup cakes, cookies and some desserts and other dishes that I'm undecided on as of yet.

What are you cooking for Thanksgiving? Have you decided? :)

I go to my brother's place each year since i'm single, and I always bring the stuffing. I also generally bring a pie or dessert of some sort i've made

I'm not sure yet. We usually decide on the menu and who is bringing what, a few days before.
Elsie Duggan Oct 30, 2008, 2:51am EDT
Well, I'm the cook, three of us like turkey and one eats steak, so will do both of them and all the trimmings as well. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Michelle

Since I just had neck surgery I told my three daughter to go and do whatever they wanted on Thanksgiving. I invited myself to my brothers. I don't plan to cook anything. I'm just going to be a mooch this year.

I may cook some but im sure my husbands grandma will do most of it. I'll totally make the stuffing I had growing up and some zucchini bread. Mabey some deviled eggs or something. All this food talk is making me hungry.
Dawn Clevenger Oct 30, 2008, 5:52am EDT
I'm typically in charge of making the gravy, and the sweet potato dish.

Mmmmm.
we usually do a whole big dinner, but with it being just me and the mrs.

now.........

I will probably just have a lot to freeze......

We are going out this year at a restaurant. We will have family over for desserts in the evening. So, I will make many desserts; cheesecake (2), apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie, jelly roll, chocolate cream pie (2), and chocolate fudge.

ham,green beans,red potatoes,mac and cheese, corn on the cob, candied sweet potatoes
cherry cheesecake, pecan pie, five cup fruit salad, rolls

A roast duck would be nice.
Jodi G. Oct 30, 2008, 8:07am EDT
We don't have any family around, so we won't do very much. I know my son wants a cheese cake. so I will definately make him that
Jan S. Oct 30, 2008, 8:09am EDT
Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, veggies, cranberry sauce, rolls, salad and pies.
Misty Reynolds Oct 30, 2008, 8:10am EDT
I ALWAYS BRING THE PUMPKIN ROLLS AND SINCE WE HAVE A BIG FAMILY NORMALLY EVERYONE JUST BRINGS ONE DISH AND WE HAVE LEFTOVERS FOR A WEEK FOR EVERYONE
Misty Reynolds Oct 30, 2008, 8:10am EDT
AND MY AUNT ALWAYS BRINGS PASTA SALAD IT IS THE BEST
ELLEN B. Oct 30, 2008, 8:16am EDT
So far a real Thanksgiving for me. I was away this last two and half months, fighting this lung mass. Last Pet Scan showed it has shrunk some. YAY! I have a lot of catching up to do everywhere. So I think I will mooch to. But very gratefully. I usually make three dishes tho'. One favorite from Thanksgiving past for each of my kids, and now the grandkids. Some traditions are so cool. Ellen B

If I stay home alone, I'll have that lousy, cheap, dollar turkey TV dinner I'll throw into my microwave. If I go to my best friend's place, he'll probably order a pre-prepared meal from the local supermarket (turkey and all the trimmings for around $100 for four people). I'll bake a cheesecake and rolls or bread from scratch and bring them.

I haven't decided yet. Hopefully we will decide soon!
Leslie L. Oct 30, 2008, 9:59am EDT
i wont have to cook on thanksgiving- we will be going to one or both sides of the family for dinner. we have not decided yet.

I'm not cooking on Thanksgiving this year either. Last year I made our 'dinner' on Wednesday and had our meal on Thanksgiving with my Mom in the nursing home. Mom passed away 6 weeks later, and my son will be getting a visit from his Dad that day, so he will eat with him and my hubby and I will go out for dinner.
I do have to make a promised butterball this weekend as my son loves my turkey and homemade stuffing, so I guess that means I am cooking, only four weeks early.
Karen G. Oct 30, 2008, 10:07am EDT
probably all the traditional dishes with the addition of some speciality dish as yet to be determined.
Ladybounty ~. Oct 30, 2008, 4:14pm EDT
I bake a mince pie because it's my favorite and make the candied yams and rolls.

We always have wayyyyy too much food! Mom's making her famous stuffing and of course turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, baked yams, candied yams, deviled eggs, fresh cooked cranberries and also the gel kind, especially for the kids, fruit salad, fresh homemade dinner rolls, pickles, olives, etc. The turkey is 24 lbs so everybody gets tons of leftovers.
The best part is getting together and cooking with everybody that day while the kids watch the Macy's parade.
Ladybounty ~. Oct 30, 2008, 4:14pm EDT
Rob come on over to my sisters.....there's always room for one more!
Carla B. Oct 30, 2008, 4:16pm EDT
I try not to overdo it, since it's usually just my husband, my toddler, one guy from my husband's work, and me. I do make a turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, dinner rolls, corn, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, pecan pie and pumpkin pie, though. We always have so much left over!
Nancy S. Oct 30, 2008, 5:50pm EDT
We always have dinner at my daughters. I will take corn casserole, deviled eggs. cherry delight and peppermint desert. If I get the starter made I'll take sour dough biscuits.
Sharon B. Oct 30, 2008, 8:47pm EDT
not sure yet
Jennine D. Oct 31, 2008, 1:17am EDT
Thanksgiving is up in the air with us this year. My daughter said she thought she was going to Montana but now not sure, Same with my younger son. Another son may or may not go to be with his S/O family he gets his kids this year. We were invited to go be with my Uncle and cousins but too far to go unless we fly and rent a car and no money for that luxury. A lot depends on our kids. If they all go their own seperate ways, hubby and I will be alone this year, if so we plan to go out to dinner. If not will have to hustle things after the 15th which is when everyone will know where they plan to be. Who with etc. So not sure yet.
Dena Straughn Oct 31, 2008, 5:10am EDT

not cooking anything :)
Sandra L. Nov 6, 2008, 12:18am EST
I don't know yet. The last couple of years my husband and daughter have done most of the cooking. This year they want to deep fry a turkey so I will probably do the dressing.
Dawnelle Potter Nov 20, 2008, 11:21pm EST
I usually stick with the traditional Thanksgiving theme we've had since I was little...turkey,
cornbread stuffing, sweet potatoe casserole (yams, walnuts, brown sugar, and marshmallows), petite pois peas, cranberry sauce w/mandarin oranges, rolls, and of course pumpkin pie smothered in whip cream.
