XP: Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes

[thelittleredm]

I was over on GKU and saw that they had started a thread specifically asking for recipes and I figured it was a good idea to start something similar over here!

My favorite recipe is scalloped pineapple. I'll have to post it in a second because I don't have it memorized at all.

Recipe! I found it! Basically, my MIL made notes about it and messed with it because she felt it was too rich/sweet at full amounts of some ingredients and I tend to agree but my sweet tooth isn't super strong, either.

Nice idea!

I am not a huge fan of Thanksgiving food in general. (I'm weird, I know, I admit it.) I don't like turkey, but there are some side dishes I enjoy.

Stuffing (technically "dressing" since it's outside the bird). We start with this basic recipe and jazz it it up with other add-ins if we feel like it. (Sausage goes well.) Only change: Toast the bread cubes first.

That scalloped pineapple recipe sounds really interesting!

The only thing I make for Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie. I'm at work and don't have the recipe on me, but it involves real pumpkins.

I make crescent rolls from scratch from the Betty Crocker red cookbook. They involve lots of butter.

setsuna17 - Bread from scratch is awesome.

I love this festive chickpea tart (recipe is towards the bottom of the page). It's vegan and a really good option if you have anyone with food allergies at your Thanksgiving. I also love to make homemade cranberry sauce!
