What should I take to a thanksgiving dinner?
I know it’s early, but my boyfriend just told me that he wants me to go to his grandma’s thanksgiving dinner. I, of course said yes.
So now I’m nervous, one, because it’s my first time meeting his family (people who are not his sisters and his dad) and two, because I want to make a good first impression.
What is something appropriate that I can take to the dinner because I don’t want to arrive empty handed.

I always take this dish called “Corn Casserole” and everyone ALWAYS loves it and there is never leftover…ever. I ts super easy and pretty inexpensive too…..You will love it I promise.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn bread mix (like jiffy cornbread mix)
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can creamed corn
1 cup sour cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine butter, eggs, corn bread mix, whole and creamed corn and sour cream. Spoon mixture into prepared dish.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown.

Have your boyfriend ask his Grandmother what you can bring.Or make a pumpkin pie and a crunchy salad.Maybe bake some cookies or carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.But if you’d rather not bake or cook anything a bouquet of Fall flowers and nice box of chocolates.

These are baked on most holidays and are a BIG hit:
Seven Layer Magic Bars
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup butterscotch flavored chips (or chocolate chips)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350°, (325° for glass dish). Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with a sheet of foil, making sure to cover the sites well. Place the butter in the baking pan and melt it in the oven. Sprinkle crumbs over butter; pour condensed milk evenly on top of crumbs. Top with remaining ingredients in order listed; press down firmly with fork. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Chill if desired. Cut into bars. Store covered at room temperature.
