Question

What is your favorite dish for Thanksgiving dinner?

Would you be so kind as to leave the recipe if you have it?

Thanks!

I have to feed alot of people this Thanksgiving, and I could really use some ideas!

Answer 1

I have a cherry pie one that I use every year, I was looking for a granola to put on top of it, but I couldn't find any, so I made my own crusty top and everyone loves it, get coconut, the sweeted one, and toast it in the oven, and whatever kind of nut you like, chopped, I get pecans or walnuts most of the time, and Craisins, I use the regular ones normally, but for Christmas last year, I used the orange flavored ones, and that was really good, it just brought all the flavor out in the cherries. Mix that together in a bowl. I get the frozen pie crust most of the time, because I make lots of pies, and I take some everywhere I go. Last year I made like 20 something pies. And I use the canned cherry pie filling. Anyway, I follow the directions on the package for the crust and then I put the filling in it and I put the mixture on top and drizzle honey on that. I bake it until the pie is golden brown. I also have a pumpkin-apple pie recipe that I use every year, it's in one of my cookbooks, if you would like that one, go ahead and email me.

Answer 2

Baked acorn squash.

Get 3 acorn squashes from the store. Be sure that you can't push your thumbnail through their skins.

Wash them off on the outside. Grab a big knife, and take a look at the squash. You'll want to cut it end-to-end, but you'll want to align the ridges so that there's a stable balancing surface for each half as it lays open on the pan baking.

Once you've cut the squash, grab a tbsp and scoop out the seeds and the slime. Well, it's not really slime, it's just loose squash stuff that holds all the seeds in place.

When that's done, get out the brown sugar and the butter. Put about a tbsp of butter in each squash half, then fill the halves about halfway up with packed brown sugar. Put these squash halves onto flat pans and put them in the oven at about 325. You'll be baking them for about 2 hours, and 6 halves will take up all your oven space.

When you can stick your fork into the squashes everywhere and the flesh is a nice golden-brown from the brown sugar and the cooking, they're done.

Take them out, let them cool a bit, then scoop all the squash out of the peels into a bowl. Smush it all up like taters, add a little salt to taste, and serve it up. Amazing!

Answer 6

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE! I think the recipe is on cans of cream of mushroom soup, it's really simple but I can't recall it right now. It's good because it's easy to make, you can make a lot and everybody likes it! Also mashed potatoes and mini pecan pies are some of my favorites on Thanksgiving!

Answer 7

Over here in austalia our family gets together for christmas and we call it a reef and beef we have different types of seafood as well as all your meats we have a large family we cater for around 30 relies every year. seafood we have are usually prawns, bugs, fish, squid and oysters as well as meats which include steak and snags but also roast pork and chicken alot of salads and alot of vegies. The reason we do this is it is alot easier to cook alot on the BBQ than what it would be to try and roast everything.

Answer 8

Steamed Brussel Sprouts
cover and let simmer in the following:
mayo,
butter,
garlic,
pepper,
and vinegar

This is awesome. On thanksgiving I also throw some chopped up crispy bacon in it.

Catered is the only way. At the age of 46 I have stayed true to my convictions and never baked a turkey.
