I know there's all kinds of other fancy things, but I love the mashed potatoes. We just use milk and butter and salt. It's probably the butter...

I love Brussels sprouts—
this year I am thinking of roasted cubed Hubbard squash, roasted Brussels sprouts, pecans, and either craisins or pomegranate. With a little maple syrup or balsamic or a Dijon maple syrup glaze.

my other go to is roasted Brussels with bacon, Parmesan cheese, pecans, and balsamic vinegar.

I love my aunt's corn casserole and my mom's apple pie. And gravy.

These make a great and easy appetizer.

@becausescience gravy gets its own category. I loooooove gravy. But as far as actual dishes, I've been on a green bean casserole kick. I think it's the crunch of the onion. I'm such a texture person. I also love sweet potato casserole. I can't wait to let Nate try table food at thanksgiving!

Yes! Green bean casserole - and stuffing. I don’t have recipes but I love all the Thanksgiving sides

I need to get my grandmas recipe for bread stuffing. I know it's simple but omg there is nothing like it. We decided to host Thanksgiving this year because my MIL is getting to a point, health wise, where she just cant be in the kitchen and on her feet all day long.  Shes from Texas and she was very skeptical of a stuffing that didn't have cornbread in it.  Also, gravy goes on everything.

@megpeg I put halved  brussels sprouts in a soup this week and it was so good!

Kept forgetting to post, but this is our go-to stuffing recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13651/awesome-sausage-apple-and-cranberry-stuffing. It is SO stupid good!  Thanksgiving food is the best food!

Little late to the party but I live for the deviled eggs on Thanksgiving. We did a new spin on them earlier this year- added cream cheese and avocado to the filling mixture. Wow! 
UO- I don’t really like stuffing or dressing. 

mccurleya

I don't like stuffing either. I do love me some deviled eggs though!

Happy Thanksgiving all! Grateful for you all and for all you share. It really helps 💜

@shoretobe I am grateful for you and this little community too.

So I stuffed my first turkey this morning. Fingers crossed it'll be edible! Lol

shoretobe

@sgrn18 - it’ll be great!

mccurleya

Good luck! @sgrn18 I'm sure it'll be tasty. 

Thankful for you all as well!

We had prime rib.  It just want the same.  Next year I am making a turkey.

I don't think I could change up turkey. The first time I went to Christmas at the in laws they did soup. I was really confused but I've grown to be okay with it now. 

maelily15

Even Luna got some turkey. We ninja’d some turkey and carrots for her. 

mccurleya

@maelily15 We let Nate gum some small pieces of turkey. I was really disappointed I didn't get to give him sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie. We were going to try it, but we recently found out he's allergic to cinnamon too...

sgrn18

Turkey was a success, LO loved turkey and mashed potatoes! I actually think i may willingly host thanksgiving next year! Lol 

sgrn18

@mccurleya man allergies suck! Is it something he could grow out of? Im not really sure how food allergies work this young. 

megpeg

Declan ate everything he could get his hands on- sweet potato, turkey, mashed potatoes, cheesecake, coconut cream pie... he is a pig. If he sees someone else eating he needs to be too.

mccurleya

@sgrn18 I'm not sure. It's random stuff. He's allergic to pears, cinnamon, and all soap/lotion but 1. I'm assuming he'll grow out of it eventually

Make dressing in a bundt pan- life changing. Crisp outside and soft middle.

mccurleya

If I liked dressing, that sounds pretty good  I love anything with a crisp outside and soft middle. Like muffins. Mmmm
