So.. who's baking what??

[SoCalDem]

We are headed for our son & daughter-in-law's for a week at Thanksgivng.. I was going to take the fixings and bake there, but I have my favorite baking pans etc.. so I guess I will bake it & take it instead..

Here's what I am going to bake:

pumpkin bread
zucchini bread
sugar cookies
apple squares
chocolate chip cookies
oatmeal cookies
peanut butter cookies..


what did I miss..??

we'll do the pie thing there.. pies are a pain to transport..

1. Wow...Can I come

Forget the turkey, I'll just eat sweets. ;-)

I don't cook anything for Thanksgiving. My sister and I trade off. I cook at Christmas and she doesn't do anything and she does Thanksgiving. I have to do dishes though x(

So Cal--Thanks for all your great advice on the other thread. :hi:

2. SoCal, You Sound Like A GREAT Baker!

I think maybe bakery bought this year... with a fresh killed capon from the chicken farm.

Do you or anyone have any recipes to share?

I'd love a good peanut butter cookie recipe... the one I've used comes out too dry.

TaTa :)

3. My peanut butter cookies have orange juice in them

I will have to look for those recipes..I will post them..

My peanut butter cookies are pretty good, if I do say so myself :)


now where did I put those things :hmmmmmm

4. hehe someone's baking brownies!

(He says in his best Cartman voice.)

:evilgrin:

16. I just thought of cranberries in brownies..Now I love craberries and

brownies.....looking back through this thread though, So Cal & family don't like cranberries...but Cranberry brownies with walnuts thrown in?

The dried kind of cranberries, though, not fresh....would that work?

[Catshrink]

18. cranberries and chocolate?

I'm skeptical. Cranberries are a bit tart. Maybe a blond brownie would work better? Blond cream cheese brownie?

Cherries would work in chocolate -- maybe. More likely them than cranberries.

IMHO.

5. STOP

you're making me hungry.

6. I got drafted to host Thanksgiving. My mother claims....

Her bladder is weak and when she bends over to lift the turkey.. she might lose some....... So???????? She only has to lift it once. :silly:

I'm just baking a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and some sweet potato pies. My pies rock! They make you go cross-eyed.

7. pecan pie

That's "puh-KAHN", not pee-kan, or pee-cahn.
Well, not me exactly...Miz t.

[corarose]

8. That sounds so good

How about Cranberry Trifle, Cranberry Bread or Muffins?

[SoCalDem]

9. we are not cranberry fans... or raisins

I bake with currants or white raisins instead of the " metallic tasting" regular ones..

[KittyWampus]

10. Cranberry Trifle Sounds Intriquing!

Never even thought of it....

[Bunny]

11. Well, if you're talking about Thanksgiving,

I'm going to Mumsy's. I'm in charge of desserts, so I'll bake some pumpkin pies while there. I'll also bring a store-bought cookie tray, a store-bought pecan pie (pronounced pe-KAHN), and maybe a store-bought apple walnut pie. Dang, I'm hungry!

12. Boston Cream Pie, cherry pie, old-fashioned banana pudding.

I'll let somebody else do the coconut cake this year. I had a hard time keeping everybody out of it until Thanksgiving. :)

on edit: forgot the chess pie!

13. Low carb Bread

I found some cheap yesterday. :9

[KoKo]

17. EWEEEEEEEEEWWWWW. Low Carb Bread for TG? Are folks happy to see you,

show up.....Do you at least wrap a brown and orange ribbon around it? Do you annouce..."Here's my Low Carb Bread? It seems sort of ....low key for TG.......are you on a diet? Adkins?

[KoKo]

14. Heavy on the cookies...what about "mincemeat pie?" Don't all fall over

gasping here.....

Well it seems like so many cookies....but if they all love them...then what the hell.....bring 'em. Someone else is doing the cranberries? That's the only New England (true to Pilgrims) thing I can think of that they might miss...or whatever.....Cranberry Cookies....? I have a recipe.....

[Catshrink]

15. PB Rice Krispie Treats

yeah, I know it's not baking, but that's as good as I get.

When we were talking to my mom about hospice care, I told her the alternative was my cooking. She immediately agreed to hospice. (A touch of humor during a very difficult meeting.)
