- Don’t arrive empty-handed. But don’t attempt to bring the dressing, potato salad or baked macaroni and cheese. Someone in the family is already sanctioned with making those integral Black America Thanksgiving side dishes! If you have nothing to bring or don’t cook, just get aluminum foil, which is always helpful for later to-go plates!
