I have to go with this one. It is, simply, the best pie I've ever made. I want to create a new pie every year, but everyone keeps requesting this one again and again.

I could wax poetic about the pastured turkey, brined, stuffed with herbs, tented, roasted to perfection, but my spouse does most of that work. I do the other dishes.

Then again, the cauliflower-chard-leek gratin is darn tasty ...

I posted this in Denise's pumpkin pie post, but it's too good not to repost. It's my Gramma's pumpkin pie recipe. It's obligatory in our family to have it on both Thanksgiving and Christmas!

This has been a staple of our Thanksgiving meals for years.

 I get pretty gung-ho about Thanksgiving dinner. Last year I did a compliation of all my recipes into a single PDF: http://averagejane.blogs.com/Average_Jane_Thanksgiving.pdf

In case people don't know, I teach school, so I'll only be updating the post about once a day, when I get home. I'll add new recipes in then.

...for the mention of my vegan pumpkin pie. I did a test run- just to be sure it's as tasty as it could be, such a sacrifice!- and I've been eating it for breakfast all week.

We don't do turkey. For a main dish we usually make my Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas.

Sparkle Grapes!

Pluck two bunches of red grapes (for a large crowd) off stems. Wash. Put in
a large ziplock and pour in the cheapest bottle of rot-gutty red wine
you can find and stow in the fridge. I like Gato Negro. Let the grapes suck up the fermented
blood of their distant cousins for twelve hours or so. Drain well, then
toss grapes in granulated sugar til coated right before serving.
Excellent with a salty meat appetizer or with turkey.

This was the winner of a fun little competition I had with my Mom.  She made a traditional pumpkin pie and I made this cheesecake...The cheesecake won and will make a nice change from the traditional pumpkin pie route.  It was very light and I noticed that it turned in to a breakfast food for some.

You inspired me to finally blog my favorite Thanksgiving recipe, Tofu Pot Pie over at my blog Veggie Goes Vegan:
http://elisac.vox.com/library/post/a-very-vegn-thanksgiving.html

This is the recipe (originally gotten from a PETA mailing) that introduced me to nutritional yeast, which i now cook with every week, pretty much.

It is hearty, savory and even features those little green peas I used to love in Swanson's potpies back in my non-veg childhood days :)

Enjoy!

I'm offering two recipes because I'm a rascal.  Without fail, I am asked to bring these items to holiday gatherings.  I finally posted the recipes so everyone would have a slideshow to go along with the instructions.  Enjoy - these have been family favorites for over 20 years!

Cinnamon Rolls -- http://karenmaehr.blogspot.com/2008/10/rediscover-lost-art-of-cinnamon-rolls.html 

Apple Pie -- http://karenmaehr.blogspot.com/2008/10/it-softens-hands-while-you-do-dishes.html

Mashed sweet potatoes (or squash) with green chiles. Couldn't convince my husband to eat sweet potatoes until he had these, now he asks for them every Thanksgiving.

Fruited Wild Rice is my favorite dish for Thanksgiving. It's in my book The Veggie Queen: Vegetables Get the Royal Treatment. When I first started making it I was the only one who ate it. Now it's a family favorite, and many in this family really only like white foods such as whilte rolls, mashed potatoes, pearl onions, etc. You get it, don't you?

It has a long list of ingredients but it's easy to make. And if you want to serve it as a main course, get a beautiful squash and prebake it and then stuff it in and heat it. Wild rice is gluten-free also so it's good for everyone.

Spiced Cranberry Plum Sauce

http://www.funandfoodcafe.com/2008/11/jelly-plum-recipe-plum-sauce.html

This versatile sauce made with frresh plums, cranberries, spices and some Rose Water can be made sweet as a dessert sauce, or spicy as a chutney or relish! A classic twist to the Craberry Sauce tradition:)

Lima beans are a funny food to me.  Kidney-shaped, oddly colored-greened little buggers with a starchy taste that often need a little help in the flavor department.  I always ate my lima beans as a youngster but my siblings used to push them off to the side of the plate. However, now, they do not play with their lima beans anymore at Thanksgiving Dinner...

In my quest to find nutrient-dense foods for holiday meals, which would allow me to feel satiated rather than ill, (having rolled-off the dining room chair one too many times feeling unsatisfied), I revisited lima beans. 

A good source of B vitamins, fibers (particularly soluble fibers in the form of pectin), iron, potassium and magnesium, lima beans have very little fat. Further, studies suggest that lima beans can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and may have anticancer benefits.

I hit upon a Lima Bean-Corn Pie which is now a family-favorite.  Here's the calorie'd-version.  I'll list the lower calorie version on my website here

1 pkg. (10 oz) frozen kernel corn, thawed

1 pkg. (10 oz) frozen lima beans, thawed

(If you have access to fresh…wonderful!)

1 cup grated cheddar cheese
3 green onions, chopped

3 eggs

1 ½ cups half-and-half
1 tsp salad herbs

½ tsp salt

1 ready-made 9-inch pie shell

In a bowl combine the corn, lima beans, cheese and onions, mixing well.

In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, half - and half - salad herbs and salt until well-combined.

Pour mixture over lima bean mixture, blending well.  Spread evenly into prepared pie shell.

Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 min or until pie is firm and lightly browned.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I like the sound of the Cranberry Plum Sauce, and Lima Bean Corn Pie sounds intriguing too. Thanks for participating!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here. I'm a chef and food & travel writer.

I'm providing a link to my recipes for traditional, orange cranberry and Wine n' Berry Cranberry Sauces. I came up with the Wine n' Berry Sauce about 8 years ago after alot of experimentation. It's been a family favorite ever since. (I'm a blackberry, blueberry and huckleberry addict lol)

For the record, I use frozen, wild blueblerries available from Trader Joes, but any blueberry should suffice.

While my recipe calls for Cabernet Sauvignon wine-- last year for Thanksgiving, I substituted Blackberry Wine from a vineyard in North Carolina and everyone loved it. Because blackberry wine may be difficult to find, I'm continuing to list cab sav in the recipe.

 Happy Thanksgiving!

 I just made this pumpkin cake and fell in love with it!  Juicy chunks of crystallized ginger in a spicy pumpkin cake - with whipped cream or hard sauce.  I love the apple pies that show up on Thanksgiving , but this is a really nice autumnal dessert that goes with them beautifully.  I included directions for making it dairy free. 

http://shesinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2008/11/spicy-pumpkin-cake-with-sugared-ginger.html

This is a great fall dish that would make a great starter to any special Thanksgiving menu!
