What's your favorite Thanksgiving side?

I made something like that with fresh green beans from the garden last summer. O.M.G.

Throw in some fresh sliced tomatoes too. Off the hook!

 

Is there extra??? :cheers:

 

I gotta half gallon at the house calling my name.....at least as a warm up for the bar later.




PS......come to think of it I have a flask in my golf bag in the truck.....I could get a head start now.

:jester:

 

Always good to have the hi-test swing lube in the bag.

 

Smashed Taters

Lots and lots of smashed taters, with catsup

 

anyone have a great recipe for corn pudding?

 

Here's Cookie Pope's corn pudding recipe from our cookbook.

Corn Pudding

2 cans whole kernel corn (drained
2 cans sweet cream corn
2 pkgs. Jiffy corn muffin mix
16 oz. sour cream
4 eggs
1 cup butter
mix all together

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr. 15 mins.

 

Thanks! That looks good and definitely easy enough for a busy day! Tangy should note this one too!!!

 

So how long does it take to thaw the bird? I came home today and there is a huge one in my freezer. I guess the turkey fairy came.

 

Better put it in the refrigerator now.

 

Thank you. I'm doing it now.

 

Captain & Dr Pepper has been bought. :hurray:

Ya'll know I"m gonna need it. :lol:

 

Here is the sweet potatoe casserole recipe I promised last week.....

Sweet Potato Casserole

3 cups of mashed sweet potatoes (I use the canned ones, it takes about 3 of the large size)
1 cup of evaporated milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 stick of melted butter or margarine
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tsp of cinnamon

Mix all the above ingredients together, beat together and pour into a casserole dish (9x9 or smaller)

Topping
1 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of plain flour
½ stick of melted margarine or butter
½ cup of chopped pecans

combine ingredients until blended and "crumbly". Sprinkle across the top of casserole (will not cover entire top, as it melts it spreads) Bake in oven for 30-40 minutes, at 350. Dee-lish.

 

Enough sugar there to send me into shock.

 

got a question......

melted butter? or just spread pats of butter around??

 

Don't forget about macaroni and cheese. Not the boxed kind either. The real deal with tons of cheese, baked in the oven or in a crock pot. The kids love it.

 

yep! one of my favorites and I making that by popular request of all of my family. I love it!!

 

This year I'm doing ...
REAL mashed potatoes & gravy
Sweet corn
Rolls
Got pumpkin & apple pie for dessert WITH cool whip.


Used to have a pile of people at my house but that all went to hell in a handbasket. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

This is like my recipe but I use fresh sweet potatoes. It takes a while to cook them, but it's so worth it. Also I skip the cinnamon and add a little vanilla. It's so yummy! The topping is exactly what I use. I'm making this tomorrow!!!

 

Dressing & Gravy, Watergate Salad, Candied Yams and Pecan Pie!
Almost forgot the 7 layered salad! Thats good at T-Giving or Christmas.
