Thanksgiving 2016 Planning

We don't host Thanksgiving at our house, so it is not a stressful planning period for us, however we do make some dishes for the two family thanksgiving meals that we do attend on Thursday. This year, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law asked that each family bring dishes that have stories to go with them (that can be told in mixed company). My husband has a (non-dinner-time-appropriate) story about brussels sprouts so that is our first contribution. 

We will also make one of his favorite desserts, chocolate bourbon pecan pie. When we got married, his mom gave me that recipe and since then, I have made it instead of her. 

We have yet to decide which brussels sprout dish we will make but these two have been popular in past years: 
- Cauliflower and brussel sprout gratin
- Brussels sprouts with pancetta

This Ina Garten one sounds delicious so it may come into contention as well!

We will also make corn pudding for the meal at my mom's house. This one has been our go-to recipe for the past few years. 

What are your Thanksgiving plans this year?
