quick, someone post their sweet potatoes with marshmallows and green been casserole recipes so we can get it over with.
I am cooking for the first time this year. Antags mom and stodad are coming as are my parents and brother. I think I will go traditional with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, and pie.
I just received the new SmittenKitten cookbook and there's a recipe in it for a swirled pumpkin cheesecake. It's kind of a half cheesecake, half pumpkin pie thing and sounds very balanced and tasty.I'm definitely giving it a try.
Can I come?
There's a great make-ahead recipe for Mashed Potatoes on the Pioneer Woman website. I made them last year and they were amazing. Not that you are looking for that, but it may help make the actual day less stressful.
I love cooking thanksgiving dinner with all the goodies, but... No company this year. It seems like too much for four people.
Doing it for 2-4 people means you get all the leftovers! Woo!
Being a vegetarian, the only thing I really care about are the mashed potatoes.
sweet potatoes are not vegetarian when you throw marshmellows on top and my mother just could not understand that Stuffing (dressing, right?) is not vegetarian if cooked in the bird or with chicken stock, but i always make my own cause i like it crispy on top
Is that the one with cream cheese? I think I made something like that and OMG they were good!!
And I love to make savory roasted sweet potatoes and onions -
Well I meant those things cooked with veg products. Can you make dressing with veg broth?
Care to share?
yes!!!!!! but a traditional meal won't cause it's cooked in the bird. my mother is a nasty woman, we all know this by now. my last Thanksgiving (first one and only DH came to my house) with them, my mother went out of her way to make EVERYTHING not vegetarian except asparagus. I had been vegetarian for 10 years at that point. Even when we do Xmas with my friends, they do a 7 fishes dinner and always have veg options for us.
It probably is... it's been around a while and it freezes well and it's great! I'll do that, some kind of sweet potato recipe that will freeze, and the dressing I make freezes well uncooked. I'll use my favorite felons recipe for green beans... except I throw a lot of garlic in with the shallots...http://www.marthastewart.com/317075/green-beans-with-shallots-and-breadcrumbAnd I'll make somebody else bring a corn dish. Looks like I'm feeding around 20 people.
Sure - cut up some sweet potatoes & vidalia onions into good-sized chunks. Toss with olive oil. Put on sheet pan or casserole dish - single layer is best for optimum browning. Sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, garlic, whatever floats your boat. Roast in oven until brown and delicious. Easy!
You can freeze mashed potatoes?
this is a kinda ingredient heavy recipe (if you do not have these ingredients) but i love this broccoli, i never use that much broccoli, because more marinade on the roasted broccoli, the better You could probably alter this with just soy sauce, oil and maple syrup. I use water instead of oil http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2010/10/roasted-cheezy-broccoli-over-golden.html
I once made a full thanksgiving dinner for just myself.
Nice.What did you make?One of these years, I might try that for me and myself.
Are the yeast flakes there for flavor or something else?
for flavor. They have a nutty/cheezy taste.

Interesting, thanks!I guess one who isn't following a veggie lifestyle could sub Parmesan or something similar?
too bad you don't live closer to come to the vegan restaurant Already drooling. They had a mashed potato platter shaped like a turkey with tofu skin and eyes made out of olives and a carrot beak, i was about to take a pic but then a guy came and scooped the head off
What about dressing and sweet potatoes and pie??
Ok, how about this instead? Bonita introduced it to me a few tg's ago. Amazing! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Butternut-Squash-and-Creamed-Spinach-Gratin-236374 This looks fantastic http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Cauliflower-and-Broccoli-Flan-with-Spinach-Bechamel-232078
we usually have several veggie sides - roasted veggies, gbc, stuffing, cranberries, maybe salad, I even make gravy. The only nonveg thing is usually the turkey.
