I was just telling Julia, I think I am going to make a pineapple casserole to take along.. It is a Southern dish involving pineapple, cheddar cheese and Ritz crackers. I have always wanted to make it, and they say it is delicious. We will see. I might take some Chex mix too, for non mealtime snacking.

Our grandmothers made a casserole they called scalloped pineapple that was very similar to what you describe. It is absolutely delicious with baked ham...pineapple tidbits or chunks, eggs, white bread torn up like for dressing, sugar, butter. It's sweet...and it is so, so good hot. My kids fight over it. But it has no cheese. Someone suggested it to us, and the kids have had it that way in other homes, but they like the grandma one the best.
I love Chex mix, I have to be strict with myself, as it's so easy to just keep on eating it...and eating it...

Yeah, that is why if I make it, I am going to bring a limited quantity. Of course I won't know what to do with the rest of it. I would either have to try making half a recipe or hiding it from myself. I think half a recipie sounds like a better idea.

My family loves the party mix/Chex mix, if I take it to one of their homes, I always just leave it there--if they haven't eaten it all, I know they will, and if I leave it there I am not tempted, haha!

Never had salmon chowder but it sounds tasty. Have you made it before?

@snowy22315 Hubby loves chowder on Christmas Eve so I am not sure why he wanted it for Thanksgiving. Yes to salmon chowder.

I might make Dorito chicken, my mom’s specialty that my dad loves so much. My sister likes my pasta salad though. Oh darn. I just remembered my dad and Diana are in the Keto diet. I better double check on what they can eat because neither of those things are likely on the list. My dad is losing weight, so I want to encourage him to stick with it.

I absolutely adore that pineapple cheese casserole. My husband hates pineapple, so I seldom make it. Our dinner will be small, just four of us (three if our grandson Nathan has to work.) I'll bake a ham, make a broccoli casserole, fried green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, croissants, sweet tea, and a chocolate pie. And maybe deviled eggs.

Thanks, I hope to. Internets back so that goes a long way to having my day be happy. I really thought I was going to have to call someone out here...That would have been awful!

I’m thinking about mixing rice, broccoli, and white cheddar cheese together for a “patty” and then grilling it. Other than that, no, just normal stuff. I’ll hopefully pick up my turkey next Wednesday.

i would love your casserole as pineapple is my favorite fruit!
my sister is cooking some things at home and then i think she will come cook at my home when we will have our own little Thanksgiving meal.
However, on Wednesday before my sister comes I am cooking scrambled eggs in the afternoon and maybe spaghetti since my peer is coming and I am going to cook with her. I don't see her this week as I have a doctor's appointment when she comes and it is essential i go to my doctor this week as my doctor is not working any other day this week
Have a happy evening and give Nico a huge hug and meow from Onyx!
