Re: Thanksgiving
I cant wait to have sweet potatoes, I love them!! My sis is doing the turkey and we are all doing side dishes. Im bringing a brocolli salad, and rolls.
Since I had the baby, people go easy on me for holidays. I bet next year they will start asking me to bring more. lol
What are you guys doing?
I'm in charge of desserts. I'm making apple pie, pecan pie, spritz cookies (plain, chocolate dipped, orange glaze or orange & chocolate) and THESE
(omg these) Sweet potato cupcakes with burned marshmallow frosting. And also homemade whipped cream.
What.
You drive me insane Broc. Seriously. Cut it out.
If it helps, I'm bummed because I was planning on making this again, and my MIL is all frazzled and was like JUST DO DESSERTS AND SHUT UP.
It's a cauliflower gratin. It basically tastes like the best mac & cheese ever, only you can pretend it's healthy because it's cauliflower.
What is this?
It's just the 3 of us this year, but we're doing: turkey, mac and cheese, rolls, stuffing, and corn pudding. I want key lime pie for dessert, but the hubs won't eat that so... I don't know yet. Maybe chocolate pie?
I don't care about half of it because my cravings are so specific, but I'm being a good wifey and cooking the whole shebang.
I see I spelled Broccoli wrong, is that what you meant, or did you want my recipe? lol
Haha, yes, I meant "what's in it?"
Broccoli Salad:
1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
1 large bunch of broccoli
1/2 cup of dried cranberries
2/3 cup of sunflower seeds
1 lb a cripsy crumbled bacon.
Dressing is 1 c of mayo, 1/2 c of sugar, 1 1/2 t vinegar.
Clean and chop off flower of broccoli into small pieces. Add ingredients to broc, then mix in dressing. Refridgerate until chilled.
with all the broccoli I'm getting confused, heh.
This is the cauliflower gratin, from my current favorite food blog, Ezra Pound Cake: https://www.ezrapoundcake.com/archives/9903 You can do the assembly a day or two in advance except the topping, then bake it off the day of.
Here are the sweet potato cupcakes: https://annies-eats.com/2009/11/20/sweet-potato-cupcakes-with-toasted-marshmallow-frosting/
we're headed to a friends place but i think we're bringing green beans & apple pie.
broc-i must know how these sweet potato & toasted marshmallow cupcakes turn out, i tried to make smores cupcakes like that & the marshmallow melted all over the place, they were so ugly
sweethuricane-i LOVE chocolate chip pie!!!!!!
can you guys tell i have a thing for sweets?
I am so excited for Thanksgiving!!! We will be going to my Mom's house this year. We are bringing some puppy chow (as requested) green bean casserole and a honey baked ham.
I'm in charge of a boring green salad, stuffing (out of the box), bought frozen green bean almondine (Green Giant), and I'll make a homemade pumpkin pie for the first time. Oh, and Pillsbury rolls.
Since my cooking skills mostly suck, I never am required to get/do anything of importance (turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, ham). Fine by me.
We are going to my mom's mom's house and this year starts the rotation - next year we'll have it with my in-law's.
Well, with plans being rearranged and then back to the original plan, and last year I made 2 pies because BIL asked us to bring some, and it didn't get touched, so I'm not taking anything. We'll be doing Thanksgiving at our house next year, kind of tired of everyone else's plans being more important?..
As for food I'm looking forward to, the asparagus and mushroom au gratin!
