Thanksgiving Menus and Recipes HERE!
Post them here so I can copy!! WEE!
Do you have the traditional turkey and pumpkin pie or something a little out of the ordinary? What does your Thanksgiving day menu look like? Any special recipes you want to share? TELL, TELL! |
Turkey with smoked oyster celery stuffing, green bean casserole, smashed potatoes with blue cheese dressing in the mixture, sweet potato pie, and home made gravy with mushrooms.
Now I have to make 2 stuffings 'cause Ami wont eat oysters, or celery and I can't do onions, so we compromise and one goes in the oven first before the turkey. I like acorn squash with lite brown sugar and cloves. Egg nog with Segrams 7 whiskey and nutmeg. Oh ETA: Ami has her own favorites and nothing is set in stone LOL we're having friends over this year. |
Well my grandmother used to make chestnut stuffing which was delicious with onions and chestnuts and ground meat yummy!! Thats all I remember!! Anyone else want to share??

It's funny we were just making Thanksgiving plans! , We are going out for Thanksgiving this year it will be the first time I ever went out for thanksgivings. What so cool is the place we are going to is serving a totally Organic Spread!!!!!!! It will be at a Farmers Market too!( It was Blaze suggestion). it's rsvp
:thanksgiving::turkeyday: georgiasmarket.com The turkey actually eats bugs like there suppose to . Haha |
I usually cook for a pretty large gathering and have to incorporate a lot of different things because we have folks who want yams and not white potatoes, folks who wouldn't touch a yam with someone else's hand, vegetarians, and folks who don't eat eggs in my family.
Our menu will be something like this (if I don't cut it in half to save myself a seizure...) A huge turkey (last year's was 25 pounds!) mashed potatoes candied yams homemade macaroni and cheese deviled eggs asparagus with garlic and cheese 2 different kinds of dressing green bean casserole cranberry jelly squash sauteed with bacon and onion homemade rolls 2 egg custard pies (because my Dad and Pappy fight over them) 1 pumpkin pie 1 pineapple upside down cake 1 batch of fudge 1 pineapple salad And yes, I make ALL of that. For 20 people. :| I forgot to add that I usually put out a cheese and olive tray and my Aunt brings homemade salsa and Mexican casserole! |
I added a hominy casserole,to my menu, that is creamy, cheesy, and with a little spice that was especially popular with vegetarian folks
|
I make an onion pie and hot pineapple casserole to add to all of the more traditional favorites!
Dang, I wanna visit all of you!, LOL |
This has been a hit with my family for decades! My daughter doesn't want a Thanksgiving meal without it and I always serve it for the Pre~Thanksgiving Gathering.
Aunt Olive's Raspbery Surprise 1 lg. pkg Raspberry Jello 1 1/2 c. boiling water 1 can blueberries (not the pie kind, the kind in a light syrup...usually found next to other canned fruits) 1 15-oz. can crushed pineapple (with juice) Mix boiling water with Jello. Add the other ingreedients and pour in a 9x13 dish. When congealed, spread topping as follows: Mix together: 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese (softened) 1 8 oz. carton sour cream 1/2 c. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla After spreading on above, sprinkle 1/2 c. chpped pecans or walnuts on top. Cut in squares. Serves about 16-20 (depending on whether or not someone gets to it first before You put it on the table). |
My Thanksgiving menus are usually pretty traditional - turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy. There has always been a fight over regular or cornbread dressing. Now that I don't have to argue with my dad, the dressing is cornbread with pork sausage and pecans.
The other "tradition" dish is my mom's broccoli casserole which is a goey mix of frozen chopped broc, rice, cream of mushroom soup, cheese whiz, water chestnuts and walnuts. |
I'll be alone and this is my splurge for myself
Turkey Sweet dressing (its a Russian recipe and traditional in my family) Sweet potato casserole (it tastes like pumpkin pie) Mashed potatoes with sour cream 1/2 and 1/2 and garlic Rolls green bean casserole Homemade cranberry sauce Pumpkin pie |
This year its just going to be my son and me,but I always do the traditions we always have had.This will be for dinner cause he's sleeping late so im meeting friends for lunch and hangig out a couple of hours.The things that take the longest to cook I will have either already made for warming later or cooking in the crock pot.
Turkey cajun style..cooking slow in the crock pot. Cornbread dressing English peas with baby onions. Baked sweet potatos Pecan pie Apple cobler French vanilla ice cream for the pie's in the freezer. Dinner rolls. Yep,left overs for a fue days. To take to my friends..a large appl/peach cobler with butter cinimon toping over the crust. |

i am just out of a rship (well 1 turkeyday removed) with a woman who had a HUGE family...
the holidays were just as huge as the family... last year the first holiday that i was back here... with my tiny little 6 or 7 member family we cooked so much that there were leftovers sent home with everyone for days... this year it is toned down...

I am on call Thanksgiving day. Prolly have dinner at the hospital. My bff is on call too, so we can eat together! LoL

Well, for the last few years, my family has gone out to eat at Cracker Barrel. Don't laugh, ham & turkey with 2 sides & dessert for about $8 a person. We've done this because either my dad was in the hospital, or my brother was not around, so it was usually just me and mom. It was just cheaper to eat out (and with no dishes to wash) than to cook a big dinner just for the two of us.
This year, the family is all back together, so I offered to cook up Thanksgiving dinner. Man, it's been many years since I've been the main cooker for a holiday dinner, but I think I'll be ok. We're not really big turkey fans so.... a spiral, honey glazed ham mashed potatos & gravy candied yams with lots of brown sugar, marshmellows & pecans broccoli, rice & cheese casserole green bean casserole yeast rolls and good ol' pumpkin pie with TONS of Cool Whip **disclaimer, if it sucks, I'm getting Cracker Barrel to go :winky: ** |
Woo Hoo! You go PinkStuff! How awesome!!
Don't stress! You can do it! As you know, I LOVE to cook. I can whip all this stuff up and send it to you in time for your BIG Thanksgiving dinner with the family. They won't have to know! I'll even toss in whoopie pies and a tiramisu... ;) Quote:
