Just me. This year, I’ll remember pants.
I think.
I’m going to Mom’s and will not be taking anything with me. I have offered to buy her dinner at a nice restaurant, but she won’t have it. She says she prefers to stay in.
Borsch, glorious borsch!
OI… chest pains! Chest pains!!
Yummy local chocolates.
Two bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau and a couple of bags of Lindt Truffles. Easy-peasy.
To echo…echo…echo…pprgrl, a couple of bottles of wine and some chocolate. That’s what the hosts want and that what I’m happy to get.
Sweet Potato Casserole (practically a sweet potato mousse)
Same thing my family asks me to bring to every get-together - homemade pepperoni bread.
I am the designated green bean casserole source
I’m making a variation on dump cake done with peaches and cinnamon streusel quickbread.
I think.
Sounds great, guys! I’ll have the table set around 5 o’clock.
sweet potato pie
candied nuts
home made chocolate chip cookies with lots of nuts
the adorably cuddly four year old with blond curls and huge blue eyes for the guests to play with.
No, I don’t have a recipe for that last item.

Alice the Goon, I’ve always wanted to try a Tres Leches cake. I’ve heard they’re to die for.
I am going to bring chocolate crinkles to my sister’s house. Should be fun. 
In my family, we just ** tell ** the others what to bring.
This will be my first year cooking for only three people(including myself). I don’t know if I can make that little amount of food. I normally cook for 15 or so. I think I still will get the biggest turkey can fit in my oven – just think of how much more I will have for leftovers when cooking a 30lb. bird for three people!
Corn Souffle and homemade cranberry relish.
I volunteered to bring “the Pumpkin Cheesecake I made a few years ago.” Unfortunately, I lost the recipe. I found a couple of new recipes, but I want to try them to see which will work out… so I’ll be eating the runners-up for the next few weeks…
