Yep, I made shoofly pies today and I have the homemade cream of mushroom soup, fried shallots, and steamed fresh green beans ready to assemble tomorrow for the green bean casserole. My mom is making the rest of the stuff at her house.

This year all I'm responsible for is the vegetables and the rolls. Things that always taste better when they're made the day of. :)

oh my gosh mamasitamali, you're making me a little homesick!! (I was born and raised in NY) but it's a good homesick :-)

Nutella, that's the one :) I'll post back later on Fit's page to let everyone know how it turned out.

I'm doing some prep when I get home from work today but 90% of the cooking will happen tomorrow.

I'm making my pumpkin pies tonight. But, everything else is tomorrow.

Nope, waiting until tomorrow here too. This year I don't have too much to make - Thanksgiving is just me and my fella. For once, I'm not roasting a whole turkey or even a turkey breast, because we always have too many leftovers to go through and the bf isn't big on turkey to begin with. So instead, I bought sliced, roasted turkey at Wholefoods (and some roast beef for him), and just have to whip up the stuffing and sweet potatoes, open the can of cranberry sauce (I'm old-school like that), and heat up the gravy and pre-baked apple pie. Considering that I usually go much bigger and do everything from scratch, it's going to be a very relaxing day tomorrow. :)

Not yet...doing all the chopping and prep tonight so things are ready to go tomorrow. My in-laws are celebrating potluck style. I got assigned salad, which I thought was very weird (my family has never once served salad on T-day!). So to show off my skills, I'm making two and a pie to boot...

mama, please bring it to my house as well :) yummy! I am starting the brine and pies tonight when I am done work (or um commenting on sugar), but otherwise it begins tomorrow!

starangel & Kim, I'd be happy to oblige :) this famous NYC lox place is literally a 5 minute walk from my apartment, it would be robbing my family members of a delicious experience if I did not :)

Nope. My family is still arguing over what's going to be on the menu, so I'm on stand-by until the menu is finalized. :)

mamasitamali, you are more than welcome to come to my Thanksgiving if that is the hostess gift! I'll start cooking today when I get off work.

Kimpossible 3 years 26 weeks

ooh nice gift mamasitamali!! I'm baking my pumpkin and pecan pies and my sweet potatoes today. The rest will be done tomorrow.

mamasitamalita 3 years 26 weeks

I'm buying NYC lox and bagels tonight as a gift for my hostess tomorrow and that is the extent of my preparation :)

soniabonya, i'm making pumpkin carrot squares tonight too! fit's recipe, right? :) I'm also prepping veggies and making stock otherwise all the cooking's done tomorrow.

NurseKimberly 3 years 26 weeks

Nope

Soniabonya 3 years 26 weeks

To save some time and to be able to cook tomorrow, I'm making the cranberry sauce and the pumpkin carrot squares tonight. My sister wanted to do the cheesecake this year and she's has a 6 hour drive tonight so she called last night asking for help on how to make it :) The main dishes will be prepared tomorrow.

Gdeeaz 3 years 26 weeks

not yet, but tonight I am going to make a pumpkin roll and a pecan pie.
