Brace yourselves...Thanksgiving is upon us. :drinker: I'm trying to make a list for all the food I need to get at the grocery store for this day of eating festivus, and I feel like I'm forgetting some of the traditional (or even not so traditional) Thanksgiving foods/snacks/sides/desserts.
So tell me, what are your favorite foods/snacks/sides/desserts on Thanksgiving?
(Also..."healthy" recipes need not apply. I plan on eating lots of all sorts of delish food...and have zero interest in finding ways to reduce fat/carbs/sugars, you name it. I want the good stuff. I don't plan on logging any of it; I plan to thoroughly enjoy it and not worry one iota about it.)

In for fappery over food lists.
I know we're adding "canned" cranberry jelly, corn, and pickled beets to our dinner this year for my husband (since his family does that, we switch every year, and he might as well get what he wants EVERY year somehow).
Standards we do
Turkey
Ham
Mashed Potatoes
Stuffing
Gravy
Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Sweet Potato/Marshmallow Casserole
Rutabagas (gross)
Salad
Rolls
We used to do pasta, but we've dropped it as more of the FOB Italians have passed on
(I feel like I'm forgetting things now, too...)
Pecan pie
Pumpkin pie
Misc. random other dessert
All the appetizers ever (melted brie pastry, jalapeno/sausage stuffed rolls, crudites, etc.).0 -
My mom makes the most amazing stuffing in the world... It's all I need. I'd be fine eating just stuffing and green bean casserole.0

I saw a recipe on TV the other night using the Pilsbury crescent rolls. You roll them out flat, throw in some cheese and bacon, then roll it all back up and slice them into little rolls, bake like normal and enjoy. I don't see what could go wrong with this. YUM

At Mom's House:
Roasted turkey with Bell's stuffing both in the bird and cooked on the side
Mashed potatoes
Buttercup squash (boiled and mashed)
Homemade gravy
Coleslaw or green beans
Cranberry jelly
Pumpkin pie
Custard pie
Leftovers - turkey sandwiches with reheated sides, plus she makes a nice turkey soup out of the carcass (sp?)
At my house:
Roasted chicken (there's only two of us, a turkey is too much)
Stove top stuffing (in the bird)
Butternut squash (boiled)
Heinz gravy
Creamed potatoes
I don't make dessert because Hubs isn't much of a sweet eater so I'll end up eating most of it. If we have any, it's from friends who drop in and bring goodies with them.
Leftovers - I made a thanksgiving casserole with stuffing, turkey, gravy, creeam of mushroom, mushrooms, onions, topped with green beans and french fried onions. YUM!0 -
Cheesecake (grandma's recipe....it's not like any other you've had)
Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows
Beer dip - I bring this, it's my go-to recipe and everyone loves it
Homemade noodles
Roast beef
Bacon wrapped, brown sugar sausages
Sausage & cheese balls
Cheeseballs and crackers (green onion & beef is my favorite)
Veggie tray with raw mushrooms0 -
- Turkey w/ homemade bread stuffing in main cavity and Scottish sausage stuffing in the small cavity (my wife's mum usually does the sausage stuffing since she's Scottish)
- Pan gravy

- Homemade green bean casserole (I use a bechamel sauce and chanterelle mushrooms in lieu of condensed cream of mushroom soup and I make my own crispy onions)
- Chipotle sweet potatoes...my mom started doing these about 15 years ago in lieu of the more traditional candied yams...these are way better and the tradition has remained.

Last year, we started a new tradition of having smoked brisket in lieu of turkey. It is delicious. I usually get up at about 6am to start the smoker, and it cooks for 10 or so hours.
I usually make a homemade blackberry-cranberry sauce to go with it and a few loaves of fresh bread. Sweet potato casserole is normally on the menu too.
Pics for da_bears1008:
^ This was the smoked brisket from last Thanksgiving.
This was the table spread with homemade bread, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, brisket with sauce, and some kind of rice.
My husband wants me to make another batch of smoked candied bacon this year too, so I'll probably do that.0 -

What do you put in your broccoli casserole? And good call on the pumpkin squares! I'm not a big fan of pumpkin pie either (don't get me wrong, I'll still eat it, but it wouldn't be my first choice among desserts).0 -
