omg I have the best recipe for stuffing , and I have a delicious recipe for pumpkin pie
 
Why would you want to eat a family for Thanksgiving? ;)Of all the Thanksgiving recipes I've tried, the one that really sticks out is sausage and pecan stuffing. I don't have the exact recipe I've used before, but this one is very close.-------------SAUSAGE PECAN STUFFING 1/2 lb. bulk pork sausage1 c. chopped celery1/2 c. chopped onion1/2 c. butter2 (6 oz.) pkg. stuffing mix2 c. broth or water1/2 c. chopped pecansIn medium sized pan cook sausage until browned. Remove sausage. Add celery, onion and butter; cook until tender. Pour stuffing mix into large mixing bowl. Stir in celery/onion mixture. Add broth, tossing until evenly moistened. Stir in sausage and pecans. Place mixture in turkey and bake accordingly, 325 degrees for 25 minutes per pound of bird.http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1627,153170-255202,00.htmlJMB

Sure, why not?This first one is Corn Casserole, and is absolutely yummy for anytime of the year...Ingredients:1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix1 can cream-style corn1/2 C. melted butter3/4 C. sugar or Splenda1 can whole kernel corn2 eggs1 C. (8 oz.) sour creamMix all of that together in a large bowl. Bake at 375 for 45-60 min. or until set in a well greased 9 x 13 baking dish.And this is the best cranberry sauce I've ever ate...Ingredients:1 1/2 C. sugar1 navel orange (I use 1/2 C. OJ)1/2 tsp. grated ginger4 C. cranberries, well washed and any stems/leaves removed1/2 C. (2 oz.) toasted pecansGrate the orange peel and add to a pot with the sugar and ginger. Add the juice from the orange into the pot and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cranberries and cook until they pop- it will form a gelatin-like substance. Add the pecans and cool sauce.
 
Julia Child's cranberry recipe is to die for! Especially while it is still hot.Or you could just make those sweet potatoes with marshmallows just like everyone else in the South.

We always go camping for Thanksgiving. We cook a turkey on a campfire, in a dutch oven. It is to die for!

I love the corn casserole already posted. I love creamy mashed potatoes. another favorite is maple glazed turnips.peel and dice up some purple top turnips...melt some butter in a saute pan, when the butter is melted add in the turnips to coat, add in chicken stock to cover half way up the single layer of turnips, cook stirring occasionally, when most of the stock has reduced and turnips are fork tender add in some maple syrup stir to coat and reduce... this is yummy!

I have made this jello mold ever since my kids were small,which has been about 40 years. I always make two, one with the nuts and one without. I only make it for Thanksgiving dinner, as then it is a special treat, plus I really never make jello molds anymore. Enjoy! JELLO MOLD FOR THANKSGIVING2 SMALL PKS OF STRAWBERRY JELLO2 CUPS BOILING WATER1 CUP OF cold WATER2 CUPS OF SOUR CREAMCHOPPED NUTSYOU CAN DOUBLE THIS AND DIVIDE BETWEEN TWO MOLDS.Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water. Add one cup of cold water. Add two cups of sour cream and mix well (I use a hand mixer). Add chopped nuts, as many as you like (I use walnuts).
