What are you cooking?

I am one of those people that plan for weeks, sometimes months what I am going to make for Thanksgiving. I have a pretty big family and most of the basics are always taken care of, for ex. my grandma makes the dressing, turkey, ham, squash,cranberry sauce, fruit salad, salad, etc., my aunts take care of the corn, beans, sweet potatoes, etc., the young girls try out new recipes from cook books, and my mom and me are usually in charge of the kid friendly foods and desserts. I usually go overboard on desserts, but this year I don't think I'm going to do that. Haha, who am I kidding I love to cook and love when I can cook for others to eat, so why not go overboard.

So Carie, what are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

You know, I have absolutely no clue!

I usually know by now, but I've just been soo busy this year. I usually make one or two cakes, some pies, and some kid friendly cupcakes or desserts. Any suggestions?

I even believe my mom and me are completely stumped on what to make for the kids this year!! I tried sliders at an earlier bday party and those didn't go over to well. They aren't fans of homemade mac and cheese and I hate fixxing the box kind for big events, so what do you suggest??

Not to mention, my family don't like the traditional pumpkin and sweet potato pies, but I'm really temped to make one. I want to try and see if I can do it, but I want it to get ate so I'm not sure.

So ladies, what are you making this year for Thanksgiving and what are yummy recipes you have tried in the past? What do you suggest for me to make?
