It was 94 here yesterday. Makes it a little tough to get in the holiday spirit, but I'm working on it. We'll be headed to my folks for Thanksgiving and I spoke to my mom yesterday about the shopping list. I told her the things I needed most were pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and corn. Sure I like turkey and cranberry relish and all that other stuff, too, but I'm a pumpkin pie addict. Truly. Hot, cold, with whip, without whip...I'll eat it any way it comes.
And mashed potatoes are one of those foods I almost never eat except at Thanksgiving and Christmas so I want to be sure there is enough. And the corn? I like that on the mashed potatoes. Is that weird?
What are your favorite Thanksgiving foods?

Hmmm. Pumpkin pie is the only pumpkin food I don't like. So I'm making pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie for dessert.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cranberry sauce on my turkey, my mom's giblet stuffing, and mushroom gravy.
Alton Brown has a recipe for corn pudding in a skillet that's baked that looks good. Since I'm cooking this year, I might try it.
I LOVE pumpkin anything-and I'm another corn/mashed potatoes girl. But will they be buttermilk mashed potatoes, or half and half? (forget the skim milk-it's thanksgiving!)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing T day this year and I make a killer cornbread stuffing-with homemade cornbread, sausage, bacon, crasins, apples and celery and fresh sage out of my garden.
Creamed spinach is another fave here-from scratch of course.
You know, if you put the pumpkin filling in custard cups and bain marie'd it-it wouldn't be as fattening and you could eat it more often.
LOVE the picture! BRAWHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI love all the desserts at Thanksgiving! No surprise there.
But I adore the homemade yeast rolls. YUM
I have a terrific pumpkin pie recipe! I'll be making pumpkin pie, coconut cream pie, mile high strawberry pie, and Mac-and-cheese.
My mom's pumpkin pie makes me cry, it's so good. I can't believe I don't get to have it this year. Hey, do you ever do anything fun with your mashed potatoes? I've got a recipe that has buttermilk and shallots in it that is to die for, and actually slightly healthier than the full cream/butter version...
ReplyDeletePumpkin pie for sure. Stuffing as long as it's not from my great-grandma's most disgusting ever recipe (blech). I really never eat mashed potatoes either, hmmm...
ReplyDeleteIn the bird stuffing with home made gravy and dark meat. That is heaven on a plate. I could do without all the other trimmings as long as I have that.
ReplyDeleteMan, you are making me hungry! This year, I don't know if my mom will even want to cook. Might be a store bought Thanksgiving. Oh memories.
Seriously? Salad and Grands biscuits! Wash it down with some Pecan Pie.
ReplyDeleteYum, mashed potatoes and stuffing. All time faves, hands down.
ReplyDeleteI tagged everyone on my sidebar to post stuff, if you want to play. :-)
Turkey and ham all the way for me.
ReplyDeleteThat pic is so funny. I love canned jelled cranberry sauce. It makes me happy when it goes on sale. I'm already serving it a side dish with regural dinners.
ReplyDeleteSausage and sage stuffing, especially the crunchy bits the top and side, and the apple pie. Mmmm
ReplyDeleteSausage stuffing. I didn't even hesitate.
ReplyDeletePumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. Although, I would totally settle for the mashed potatoes. The only time I eat them are during the holidays so I gotta get my fix to last the rest of the year :)
