I need a recipe...

We are headed to my in-laws for Thanksgiving Dinner. I spoke with my M.I.L. and so far the menu consists of:
1-Oven Baked Turkey
1-Deep Fried Turkey (from Popeye's ? - it's a southern thing!)
Mashed Potatoes w/ gravy
Cranberries
Pumpkin Pie
Mini Pecan Pies (made my Josh's Granny, they are to die for!!!)

Hmmm... it's pretty much open to anything at this point.
So, I want to bring along some good yet healthy dishes to pass. You know, like a Banana Creme' Fruit Tarte... or Broccoli Salad...
Nah! On second thought...
I would love to make a knock out dressing followed by the traditional green bean casserole.
Either way, while searching the web for awesome recipies I stumbled along the "Picky Palate" - talk about one busy lady on a mission to make sure we are all properly fed. Her website has a way of getting you motivated to try new things. Be sure to check out her "blogroll" for a slew of recipe blogs. FYI.
I still haven't made a decision on what type of dressing I will make. But I absolutely cannot go to a Thanksgiving Dinner that doesn't have dressing, so I am determined. Really it shouldn't be all that hard. Anyway, if you have a great dressing recipe, I'd love to hear about it...
Thanks,
Heidi
