This year I offered to host Thanksgiving at our place. Then I took a full-time job, had a nervous breakdown, and canceled. I'm Martha's worst nightmare.
Luckily, one of the invitees was willing to have all of us (and then some!) over to her place. We're all collaborating on the menu, which is kind of fun. I wanted to bring a green bean casserole -- you know the one -- but it seemed like all the enthusiasm was of the "Oh isn't that perfect! (But I don't have to eat it, do I?)" variety, so I updated that one. Here's our final list of goodies...what are you making this year?
~ Chicken empanadas
~ Turkey
~ Ham
~ Nannies Party Potatoes
~ Macaroni & Cheese
~ Lemon-roasted green beans and Marcona almonds
~ Cheese & thyme biscuits
~ Creamed leeks
~ Wild Mushroom Stuffing
~ Cranberry Rosemary Wine Jelly
~ Wild Rice stuffing
~ Sweet potatoes
~ Cranberry-mascarpone chocolate tart
~ Chocolate S'more Pie
~ Sweet potato Ice Cream with Maple Glazed Pecans
~ Pecan Pie
Oh yum! Can't wait.

Huh? Who's bringing empanadas? I guess I need to check the list again, huh?

I'm not making any of it this year - flying to Michigan to surprise my best friend. She's not an enthusiastic cook so I'm sure your feast will be far yummier!
