For fun...what's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? (recipes welcome!)

[daisymommy]

Aww, you have to have pumpkin pie MoJo!

You can make dairy free pumpkin pie with unsweetened almond, coconut, or rice milk in the same amount as the milk called for in the recipe!

And my favorite Thanksgiving food is Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing--my FIL's recipe that has been passed down through the family. I could eat the whole treay of it myself But I also love creamy mashed potatoes with tons of butter and cream, and chocolate pecan pie (ala Rachel Ray). Drool, drool.

I am going to make a new green bean recipe this year. Bacon Braised green beans. I made them for the first time last week and they were yummy!

It sounds yucky and for whatever reason we only eat this when with my family (every other year). Neither my husband nor my brother-in-laws will eat it but all the other adults do.

Basically cooked carrots slices in cream of mushroom soup.
Half of the can of cream of mushroom is used for creamed onions. Which only mom and her brother eats since the older relatives have passed on.

And stuffing - gotta have it but really stuffing - no stove top or pepp. farm.
And gotta be cooked in the bird!

Turkey is just a vehicle for the gravy in my book.

Stuffing is my favorite--just my mom's recipe that I make now. I do love Green Bean Casserole...I think because it's just part of the tradition, you know?

A big hit with our guests has been the stuffed acorn squash. I halve the squash, de-seed them, microwave them for about 10 minutes (flesh side down), and then stuff them with a mix of apples, dried cranberries/cherries/raisins, and brown sugar. (I cooked that mix until the apples were soft first.) Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for about 20 minutes. Makes a lovely presentation and everyone seems to enjoy!

This year I'm just going to make the apple mixture for the kids to have on the side!

This is our hands down winner with our family:

Cranberry Apple Casserole

3 cups peeled, chopped apples
2 cups cranberries (1 bag Ocean Spray)
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 (1 5/8 ounce) packages instant oatmeal with cinnamon and spice
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
Pecan halves
Additional fresh cranberries

Combine apples, 2 cups cranberries, and 2 tablespoons flour, tossing to coat; add 1 cup sugar, mixing well. Place in a 2 quart casserole.

Combine oatmeal, copped pecans, 1/2 cup flour, and brown sugar; add butter, and stir well. Spoon over fruit mixture. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Garnish with pecan halves and cranberries. Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Melbel do you eat this as a side dish or dessert? It sounds like an apple/cranberry crisp. Looks yummy! I will have to try it.

Share your secret love of green bean casserole here, no judgment.

I LOVE green bean casserole! I could eat the entire dish by myself.

I also love corn bread stuffing.

And, I've never been a huge fan of turkey until I met my husband. His turkey
is delicious. So moist and flavorful.

Oh, and I'm buying some cinnamon ice cream from Graeter's to put on
top of my warm apple pie.

Dressing. But baked on th eside, not in the bird. I love it in all its forms, cornbread, bread, sausage, mushroom, etc. Yum!

Thanks, daisymommy! I'm definitely going to make one now!

I think DH would like those bacon green beans, too.

Stuffing. Without question, stuffing, stuffing, and more stuffing. I could eat only stuffing on Turkey Day and be happy.

Me,too. Specifically, I could eat my mom's stuffing with her homemade gravy on it and be 100% happy. Yum.
