Is there anything I haven't eaten this weekend?
Between three different Thanksgivings and the meals in-between, I have consumed more food than any human should be able to.
I've had turkey and ham and mashed potatoes and twice-baked potatoes and two different types of sweet potato casserole and stuffing with sausage in it and rolls and cranberry sauce and two different kinds of gravy and grape jelly meatballs and eggnog and slices from two different pumpkin pie cheesecakes and chocolate cream pie and butterscotch cream pie and pecan tarts and cookies and chocolate cake and green bean casserole and carrot cake. And a gallon of Pepcid AC.
My favorite dish was probably a stuffing that my sister made from scratch from a Rachel Ray recipe that had sausage in it. It was amazing!

Mike's dad makes an incredible turkey- he grills it and it gets all smokey and tender and delicious. I would say that's my favorite

I trie dout a new recipe for candied yams and I ate three helpings on Thursday, and two helpings on Friday. I am pretty sure that was my favorite dish this year…
:woohoo:

Ugh, that says "tried out" not "trie dout".

I made fresh tomato sauce and had it with parm and some fresh fettuccine. It was good.

I just got home from our belated Thanksgiving celebration that was this afternoon/evening.
Our friends smoked a turkey. It was amazing.
Although I must admit that I made a kick-ass Crack & Cheese.

My husband is from Georgia, and he's complained every year that Left Coasters do not make dressing correctly. This year, I followed a Paula Deen recipe for Southern Cornbread Dressing, and it turned out to be exactly what Bret's been hankering for. And he's right – I *have* been making it wrong all these years! It's now my new favorite holiday food.
Paula's recipe for Green Bean Casserole topped my usual one, as well.

I hate to brag, but I made two different types of mashed potatoes to bring to my sister's house on Thanksgiving. Wasabi mashed potatoes, and feta cheese mashed potatoes.
Both were a huge hit with the 30+ people there.

OMFG man! I am stuffed just reading about all that scrumptious food!!!

I inherited my horrible cooking skills from my mother, so my Thanksgiving feast consisted of scraping the edible meat from the burnt turkey and making a pot pie for my Spawn and a turkey salad for the adults.
But I think I gained about three pounds just reading your post. Shall I send the bill for my Spanx to you?

I dry brined a turkey this year instead of my usual wet brine. It was the moistest and most flavorful turkey ever, and the easiest to do. It could have been humiliating since I wrote a post about it.
Also made roasted chestnut sausage stuffing because I was seduced by Tyler Florence a couple of days before Thanksgiving.

I'd love to have a copy of that Rachel Ray recipe. Sounds yummmm!

I had leftover Chinese food and some samples from Cornzapoppin. D&T popcorn is better if you absolutely have to have the very best, but if you're in hock to the medical community and on a budget but don't want to give up gourmet popcorn for two years, try Cornzapoppin's butterscotch chocolate popcorn. They're slightly cheaper if you order through Amazon.

my cousin makes the best, and easiest, corn casserole. that might have been my favorite food this year. usually stuffing wins, but i had been craving the corn casserole. she made one extra so that we could have leftovers. which i am now going to eat for breakfast. yum.

Is it wrong that when I read the title to your post, the first thing that came to my mind was "Me?" Yeah, I guess that too many years of teaching middle school has turned me into one of the little boogers.

My thanksgiving is already long passed but my favourite thing from this weekend was the bailey's Irish Cream chocolates that my darling brought home for me Friday as a 'smile gift'…
A long time ago though – my Dad made this amazing cornbread cranberry stuffing for the bird, it kicked a metric fuckton of thankful ass.

Pumpkin Upside Down Cake. To. Die. For.

I'm all about the cranberry jelly in the can shape. Oh yeah. No…seriously…I love that thing.
Reply
Oh PatrickD….That's my favorite kind too!!
The best thing I ate this holiday was the peanut butter cookies that my niece made. I make plenty of cookies but my pb cookies never come out quite as good. They were moist and have plenty of little chunks…….

I put on a shindig for 20 on Thursday, so we ate a TON of food! I was overstuffed even before the evening ended. My fave had to be a slice of pumpkin pie. I gotta have my pumpkin pie!

Peach cobbler. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Homemade Dutch Apple Pie…which I didn't actually make on Thanksgiving but rather yesterday.
Reply
You had me at a gallon of Pepsi.

Stuffing! And I make mine also with sausage. Seriously, I had a sandwich yesterday of a huge cat's head yeast roll with turkey, cranberry sauce, and STUFFING on top!
Reply
oh! my brother loves my sausage stuffing too!
i ate way too much too.
i call it "eating for sport"

I could have eaten the entire candied yam casserole, even with all the mashmallows.
Yum.

We didn't do Thanksgiving this year. But I made some kickass Pepperoni Pizza Puffs to bring to work on Friday. And I made some of that Peppermint Bark candy.

My buttermilk cornbread dressing–it's my grandmother's recipe and if I don't have it it's not Thanksgiving. Nothing else comes close.
And I need the recipe for that pumpkin upsidedown cake Faiqa;-)

My favorite was definitely the stuffing my uncle made, with Wonderbread, sausage, grated Parmesan, mushrooms, onions, fresh parsley and probably a whole slew of other stuff I'm missing. It was fantastic. I highly recommend going to someone Italian's house for Turkey Day.
Reply
My aunt's homemade apple pie was right there with the stuffing, too. Ah, Thanksgiving…

OMG. So I never got around to telling you this, but you know that Peptm Bismol commerical? You remind me of Rex. LMFAO

Sweet potato casserole, made with real cream, butter, white and brown sugar and loads of pecans. And we haven't even had the "big" family thing yet.

Fucking Americus! You guys make me nuts with craving turkey every November.
My fave food this weekend? I dunno…a protein shake courtesy of my hubs?

You had me until grape jelly meatballs.

Homemade Mashed Potatoes.
And, of course, the mashed potato and turkey sandwich I had Friday on a giant homemade yeat roll.
Reply
My favorite is my chocolate pecan pumpkin pie and cranberries cooked with apple cider and rum.
Faiqa's pumpkin upside down cake sounds great to me too. I just looove pumpkin.
Reply
It was totally my sister-in-law's stuffing that also had sausage in it. Complete yumminess.

I am mad at you for making me hungry again.
I weigh 10 lbs less in Tennessee!

You know my favorite part of thanksgiving is green bean casserole. I did two thanksgiving dinners at different families houses. One house served green beans just cooked I thought I was going to have to cry.
Reply
Leftover spinach and artichoke dip. It's good the next day and maybe part of day 2, but anything past that, you've got to toss it out.

The favorite part of Thanksgiving this year is that everything I ate… I didn't cook. I hosted Thanksgiving Tuesday but didn't cook a thing. My hubby and his gramma made it all.
then Tuesday night we left to go camping.. so Thanksgiving was in Dumont (desert in California on your way to Vegas) and once again… the men deep fried some turkeys and everyone brought out sides and it was all delicious and I cooked NOTHING!!
