  My wife is making homemade cranberry sauce this morning.  Our Thanksgiving is a potluck and we are responsible for appetizers (plus cranberry sauce), so we are making stuffed mushrooms and spinach dip (my wife always had spinach dip at holidays growing up, so we have to make it now).  We also have cheeses, salami and crackers to bring.

  Our meal is 99% take out this year.

  Honey Baked ham (FIL doesn't eat poultry), mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, cinnamon apples, and sauteed spinach. L made cranberry chutney earlier this week and might make carrot cake cupcakes today (depending on how she feels - she is sick.) and she'll make green beans tomorrow.

  I am in charge of it all.

  Tonight: 24 hour salad (this weird old fashioned fruit salad that was my grandma's recipe and is super yummy), pea salad (gag but my dad requested it), pumpkin pie, fruit dip (and cutting the fruit that goes along with it), vanilla cupcakes filled with toasted marshmallow cream and topped with homemade chocolate cream cheese frosting (decorated to look like turkeys), and the veggies/dip for the relish tray

  Tomorrow: turkey, stuffing, homemade mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes made from fresh sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, and rolls

   I feel like I am forgetting something....

  Herb citrus turkey I found the recipe from epicurious; green bean casserole; sweet potatoe bake, mini almond shortbread pumpkin pies EVs adventure; gluten free stuffing; maybe mashed potatoes; carrots; kale cranberry pepper jelly from a jar. Yes all for 2 people... But we're really cooking for the leftovers.

  MollyKelley - "stuffing stuffed squash" sound delicious!

  We're going to our friends' annual vegan Friendsgiving. I'm making fresh corn bread and homemade apply butter (I made this already). Thinking about squash or some other veggie, but I need to see what everyone else is making. I know there will be a pumpkin pie, but C asked if I could make another dessert. If I'm feeling up for it I will, but I've had a cold the last couple days. Either way, there will be tons of food, I don't have to talk about what I don't eat, and I can eat anything I want!

  I think that V's family took pity on me for being so ill with morning sickness. We are hosting, but it turns out that all we have to make is the ham, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and some easy appetizers. V's family will bring the turkey, cranberry cider, some more appetizers and desserts. I can't say that this makes me unhappy

  We are doing Thanksgiving!!! I am so happy, it's my favorite holiday and I was so bummed that it might not happen for us.
  
  J and I are making chickens since MIL doesn't like turkey, green bean casserole, vegetarian stuffing, and probably pumpkin and apple pies, the rest will be brought by J's family.

  We are doing Thanksgiving with my family this year so the only thing I have to bring is the relish tray (olives, pickles etc) and cream cheese salsa tortilla rolls.  Both of these are snacks for the family while the big meal is being done.

  I feel awesome to not be cooking this year as it is starting to hurt to be upright. My dad will be frying and smoking a turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cornbread dressing, cranberry sauce, rolls etc. 

  I am so excited and I plan on gaining 10lbs!  Especially since my glucose test is Monday...
