what are you personally making for Thanksgiving?

[fetaby]

Your green bean casserole looks pretty good, but I don't have the time for that. If I did, I'd throw in a couple tablespoons of soy sauce to bring up the salt.

So yeah, I'm making the hashbrown casserole, aka instant fat.

My brother and I cook everything, except for the pies and stuffing which my mom and sister-in-law make. I'll be making:

This salad
Cranberry Pear Relish
Cranberry Orange Scones
Gluten-Free Orange Biscuits
Mashed Potatoes
Green Bean, Walnut and Feta Salad

My brother cooks the turkey and makes gravy and a basil corn pudding. We tend to collaborate on most of it.

 

[TickTockMan]

Popcorn












and I hope I don't burn it.

 

[todwod]

I will make cranberry sauce, and kill and clean the turkey the day before =D

 

[kineticpsi]

I will be making a Tofurky in a crock pot with carrots, celery, corn, potatoes and vegetable broth. I use the Tofurky roast which comes with the most amazing stuffing inside.

I still eat meat but am slowly decreasing the amount to become Vegetarian. I have loved the Tofurky since I made it this way three years ago and eat it every Thanksgiving. I will also probably eat plenty of mashed potatoes, rolls and green bean casserole.

I'm gonna try this apple pie recipe for the first time because it's the most popular on allrecipes.com. I'll add some spices as the recipe omits any.

Hope it's OK. I never cook or bake usually.

I just got my VitaMix and can't wait to start cooking with it!!

For the first time in many years, we are not having Thanksgving at our home. We are going to my partner's grandmother's home and she doesn't want anyone bringing anything. Really looking forward to a lovely day on Lake Minnetonka.

 

[Jack Springer]

I'm not making/taking anything this year.

However, I will do my best to sabotage the green been casserole.

The most vile thing anyone has ever come up with in the kitchen.

Do you call it stuffing or dressing?

Always called dressing where I come from. My mom always put raisins in the dressing .... I miss that a lot. She made the best ever.

 

[gaypornjunkie]

We make the usual tawdry things. Personally I feel guilty eating such exceeding overabundance when there are families going hungry.

Please donate something to your food bank this year. It doesn't have to be a lot, but something is better than nothing.

 

[CowboyBob]

I'm the one making the mashed potatoes, dressing and gravy this year. It's all made from scratch. The boxed potato flakes and stove top stuffing aren't very good. Others are making the turkey, vegetables, rolls, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

The dressing is already started. I'm drying out a loaf of bread and will cube it. Yesterday went to the market and bought the potatoes and other stuff. The grocery stores are mobbed with people this week and hope I don't have to go in one until Thanksgiving is over.

 

[MoufOfKhaos]

Money..............

I am going to try my hand at making a Black Forest Cake on Gimme! Gimme! I want it from Santa! day.

 

[borg69unimatrix]

I'm not making them this year, but usually I make Deviled Eggs.

 

[Swellegant]

Ordinarily, the candied yams are my contribution (and no, there are no marshmallows involved), and I help with the stuffing as well. But this year we're eating in a restaurant because there's only five of us.

Fortunately, we have the exact same menu for Christmas, which were' doing at our house with all the out-of-staters coming in. So I'll make my yams then, and participate in the stuffing... which is Grandmother's grandmother's recipe, and quite tasty.

 

[Asenath]

I made reservations.

Thanksgiving is so much nicer when you don't have to do dishes and wade through leftovers.

 

[hermanding]

Cannot cook. In Colómbia, my partner did the cooking , and we celebrated it, since it is the gringo holiday that seems to be of most interest as to why it exists, plus the food, of course. Cranberry sauce can never be found there, so, we would have someone then living in the states in fort lauderdale send it to us.

 

[Beachguyj]

I am eating at a friends house it will just be 3 of us.

I will be bringing dessert. A store bought pecan pie, a store bought frozen (and then baked) apple pie, and I will make a flourless chocolate cake.

I am also bringing a bottle of Chardonnay for dinner and the stuff to make Long Island Iced Teas to drink while watching a movie.

I am also making a yellow chicken flavored rice with vermicelli and some sweet potatoes.

and dog treats and a toy for his beautiful doggie.

 

[AlmondMilk]

Well, we'll be going to my aunt's place and have dinner there. I don't really make anything because I'm terrible. And if I do, I wouldn't serve it to anyone outside of my immediate family

 

[LittleDove]

Turkey
Dressing
Candied Sweet Potatoes
Brussels Sprouts in a beef glaze/onion marmalade, with bacon bits and slivered almonds sprinkled over them
Devilled Eggs
Rolls of some kind (probably)
Fruit Salad: pineapple, grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, bananas, & kiwi. It's also got blueberries, because there was a little box of them sitting on the shelf looking lonely the last time I was in the store.
Apple Crisp.

Probably munchy stuff of some kind: celery, olives, pickles, and what-not.

If I get inspired, I might make some kind of appetizer, but there's probably too much food already.

 

[JayHawk]

I'll be making:

Green Bean, Walnut and Feta Salad

THAT sounds wonderful. Could I have a recipe please? ALthough for fall I am feeling a little bit of dried cranberry and thin slivers of green apple as well... i just wanna know what you bring it together with first..... yum

I'm not making them this year, but usually I make Deviled Eggs.

I will be assimilated if you make me some deviled eggs.... I had not thought about it but that is a damn good idea.... I will be packing on the calories alone with my thoughts this year so i might as well gorge myself.

I'm the one making the mashed potatoes, dressing and gravy this year. It's all made from scratch. The boxed potato flakes and stove top stuffing aren't very good. Others are making the turkey, vegetables, rolls, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

The dressing is already started. I'm drying out a loaf of bread and will cube it. Yesterday went to the market and bought the potatoes and other stuff. The grocery stores are mobbed with people this week and hope I don't have to go in one until Thanksgiving is over.

I agree I have been putting off going to the grocery. Every time I pass the store it looks ridiculously packed. A stuffing recipe stuffed into a PM would be wonderful... I 'ave the family recipe but i can explore some untried ones this year with no audience to be concerned with approval and such.

poached halibut and steamed broccoli with lemon.....

Well aren't we the non traditional eater this year.





I am gonna do a marinated turkey breast OR turkey quarter. Leaning towards the quarter. I like to slow cook it for about 2 hours on 275... take it out and let her rest for a bit after the first hour and then let it come together at the end for at least 20 mins....

I think from above I am making the salad....NOM NOM NOM

I must make sweet potato casserole but I will try a less sickly fattening method this year using honey, cranberries, raisins and some walnuts... (perhaps I am overdoing the walnuts, cranberries and raisins........nahhhhh)

I will also make an entirely fattening pan of stuffing. Tooo good to pass.... and some gravy for the stuffing....

We never did green bean casserole for the holidays. It has always been fresh cooked down with either cottage butt or bacon and lotsa black pepper. But with the bean salad I will pass....


Thanks for all the great ideas guys.......
