What's on your Thanksgiving menu?

By  On  4 Comments

In case you needed any more temptation to enter my giveaway for a copy of Cooking At Home by Chuck Williams, here’s what my sister and I will be cooking from it on Thanksgiving:

  • Cider-Glazed Turkey with Cider Gravy
  • Sausage, Apple, and Chestnut Stuffing
  • Dark Chocolate Pudding

Sounds pretty delicious, eh? We’ll also have mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and squash from family recipes, plus another dessert TBD.

What’s on your Thanksgiving menu?

*Don’t worry–I haven’t forgotten about the “picky eaters” topic. Look for my thoughts on the issue plus tips from Jeannette Bessinger and Tracee Yablon-Brenner, authors of Simple Food for Busy Families and the blog Real Food Moms, later this week. And I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

    That turkey sounds divine!

    We’re having turkey, stuffing, rolls, green beans, homemade cranberry sauce, and pies. Two different pies. Mmmmmm…

    Yum! Sounds delicious.

    We are headed out to my step-brother’s in NJ (23 of us). I’m charged with bringing rutabaga and creamed onions, both dishes that my late mom made. I’m a little nervous that my attempts won’t live up to the standard – but you have to start somewhere I suppose!

    My stepbrother is preparing 2 different turkeys – one the old fashioned way and one deep fried. Should be a hoot watching that go down…

    My husband and I are vegetarian, and this year I hosted, so my parents got their first meatless Thanksgiving this year. I made a mushroom & lentil pot pie with gouda biscuit topping as the main (from Bon Appetit’s Nov. 2010 issue), and as sides we had roasted butternut squash, sweet potatoes & parsnips in a maple, butter, & rosemary glaze; ‘greened’ mashed potatoes (potatoes & arugula & radish greens from Mark Bittman’s NYTimes Minimalist column); vibrant tasty green beans (with dill and leeks from 101cookbooks.com), rolls, cranberry sauce (2 kinds, one fresh with orange & pecan, the other traditional canned jellied) and pumpkin pie for dessert. Oh, we started with fresh veggies & white bean-artichoke dip and had a salad of red oakleaf lettuce (from our CSA), pears, pomegranate seeds, and crumbled goat cheese. My parents did not miss the turkey 🙂
