Medusa · 11-10-2010, 04:27 PM

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!

Corkey · 11-10-2010, 04:37 PM

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.

lipstixgal · 11-10-2010, 04:38 PM

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??

StillettoDoll · 11-10-2010, 04:39 PM

Mtn · 11-10-2010, 04:48 PM

I added a hominy casserole,to my menu, that is creamy, cheesy, and with a little spice that was especially popular with vegetarian folks

LipstickLola · 11-10-2010, 04:57 PM

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

Diva · 11-10-2010, 04:59 PM

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).

Gayla · 11-10-2010, 05:03 PM

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.

Jet · 11-10-2010, 05:23 PM

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

Rockinonahigh · 11-10-2010, 06:37 PM

I will be alone also. Too bad we did not live closer to each other. I am sure you would rather have a Femme over then me though. LOL

Medusa · 11-10-2010, 04:45 PM

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!

Cowboi · 11-10-2010, 08:01 PM

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

PinkieLee · 11-11-2010, 01:23 PM

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

**

Scorp · 11-11-2010, 01:55 PM

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...

morningstar55 · 11-11-2010, 02:48 PM

Ingredients:
1 cup Minnesota wild rice
1/3 cup butter
4 cups cubed crustless bread
1 cup each sliced shiitake mushroom caps, cremini and oyster mushrooms
1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
OR
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
2 eggs, beaten

Turn this recipe into a puzzle! [click]

Directions:

In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook rice until tender and split, about 40 minutes. Drain and place in large bowl.

Meanwhile, melt all but 2 tbsps. of the butter. Place bread in bowl and drizzle with butter, tossing to distribute evenly. Spread on rimmed baking sheet; toast in 450degrees F oven, tossing once, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add to rice.

In skillet, heat remaining butter over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms just until browning at edges, about 7 minutes. Add to rice mixture along with red pepper, sage, salt and pepper; mix well. Stir in stock and eggs.

Spread in greased 13- x 9-inch glass baking dish; cover with foil. Bake in 375 degrees F oven for 45 minutes.

This recipe from CDKitchen for Minnesota Wild Rice And Mushroom Dressing serves/makes 8

**note**i like throwing in some cranberries myself maybe a lil sausage.

Homemade cranberry sauce
Green Salad
Coconut Cream Pie
Pumpkin Pie

And also - The Green Stuff, which is legend:

1 large box Lime Jello
1/2 bag of mini marshmallows dissolved in the hot Jello
1 can crushed pineapple
1 pint cottage cheese
Maraschino cherries (lots, or my son gets upset)

When this mixture starts to cool and set up, you fold in a container of cool whip. Sometimes, I put it in a mold if I have time, then you garnish it with more cool whip, chopped almonds and more cherries.

hmm ya know....... i like that roasted carrots and brussel sprout idea..
and that red velvet cake idea.... it looks great but i have tried red cake severall kinds.. home made , store made.. and even the gormet stuff.... and it does not like my stomach.. lol soo No red velvet cakes for me.
