So Thanksgiving is approaching and although I will not be making all of the meal, I would like to find some wonderful recipes to share with my family.

What are your favorite Thanksgiving recipes?

I love swiss vegetable medley..instead of G.bean casserole..I need to find the recipe

It has been 5 years since I actually had thanksgiving with my family, i have almost forgotten what its like!

pumpkin pie

Anyone have a good sweet potato/yam recipe? I had a wonderful one a few years ago that had marshmallows-wish I could remember who made it!

^ I need a good sweet potato one too!

Anyone have a good homemade stuffing recipe? I'm thinking of using shredded chicken and cornbread or regular white bread. Last year I added apples but the BF requested no apples in the stuffing this year!

I'm thinking of making spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer, I made this great one by alton brown last weekend and it was SOOOOO good. I also wanna make cornbread.

I have a sweet potato/ marshmallow recipe that I will dig up buy I have a sweet potato/ apple recipe that is great and perfect for a heavy meal because it is light.

Bake some sweet potatoes (figure 1/3 to a 1/2 potato per person) Let cool until you can handle potato and scoop out contents into a bowl. Beat the potatoes a bit then add some apple cider. Keep beating and adding cider until potatoes have thinned and are getting close to not being able to absorb more cider. Spread potatoes into a pyrex or cassorole dish. You can either refridgerate the potatoes until ready to use ( I do this the night before) or go on to the next step.

Peel and core some apples ( I use Granny Smith) Slice thin. Lay apple slices on top of potatoes overlapping the slices a bit. Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top and dot with butter. Cover pan with foil and Bake in oven until hot.

Be back with the sweet potato recipe when I get a chance to dig it up

I have a really good and easy cornbread recipe

2 sticks margarine, melted
1 C milk
2 eggs
2 C Bisquick
½ t baking soda
½ C sugar
½ C yellow corn meal


View full recipeMix together all ingredients until only a few lumps remain.Grease and flour pan. Bake 350° 30 minutes, 40-45 minutes if doubled

We do all of the cooking, and generally we do a turkey (I use Martha Stewart's Turkey 101 technique with the cheesecloth & wine/butter basting), gravy, cornbread dressing, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn casserole, rolls, green bean casserole (holdover from my childhood), jellied cranberry sauce, and then usually apple, pumpkin & pecan pies.

I'm in Texas, and I'm a huge fan of "wet" type cornbread dressing, but for some reason I could never get the recipe to come out right, no matter what I tried. Last year I tried this one and finally, exactly what I was looking for!

My husband isn't a dressing/stuffing eater, but he loved this one I made last year. It's very "man-friendly" with the smoky bacon and biscuits.

This is the corn casserole I make every year, minus the garlic powder & cheese. I found the recipe in an old church cookbook and tried it one year - everyone goes nuts over it. It's so easy it is almost laughable.

kraft foods has an awesome one. it's got artichokes, spinach and asparagus in it.
people who love spinach dip LOVE this... people who think they don't like spinach dip won't touch it

i will try to remember to look in the family cookbook for a sweet potato casserole... the basic ingredients are sweet potatoes, butter and brown sugar - and then marshmallows to top
