Thanksgiving Dish?

Hey!
I know this is a little early but I need to figure out something simple yet delicious to make for Thanksgiving. I will be going two places and I want to make something for once that people will enjoy at both houses

Any suggestions????????????????????????

It can be dinner or dessert...


Thanks!!

Yeah that is always a great idea.....




What about a dinner dish?

how about some kind of pasta dish? that's easy to make a lot of to use at both houses.
maybe a ziti or lasagne?

ooo well I am half Italian....good idea....

I need to find a recipe....

I never cook that at home!! I am new to cooking!

well, it's not the most thanksgiving themed dish, but it works when people get tired of turkey! lol

if you like the pasta idea, there's also pasta salad...

YES!!
Pasta salad is great too!!!!!!!


Okay

So far I have


Cookies/ Brownies
Ziti or Lasagna
Pasta Salad


Great suggestions!!!!!!!!

my favorite thanksgiving dish is sweet potatoes with marshmellows on top, and this thanksgiving cranberry mold that i make, it has cranberry sauce, pineapple, strawberries and all sorts of yummy stuff in it... let me know if you want the recipe!

also, a good dessert that we usually have is choclate peacan pie and pumpkin pie

also, banana bread, and pumpkin bread...

im making myself hungry! thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!!

The sweet potatoes w/ marshmellows is big in my family as well.

The other tops (besides stuffing) is the string bean w/ cheese/breadcrumb casserole

and

his cousin's awesome carrot cake

I have a great one that's perfect for Thanksgiving!! I always make it, and it won 1st place in a cook off for best side dish. But the best part is it's delicious and couldn't be simpler.

Depending on the amount of people you have the ingredients vary, but it easy to figure out. This amount would serve 10-12 people.

3-4 bags of frozen corn
1/2 lb of Pancetta diced (if pancetta is to expensive a good bacon works great)
A medium bunch of scallions(green onions)
Salt
pepper
Paprika

Brown the bacon/pancetta until crisp, add the corn and heat through. Add a little salt, and pepper, and about 1 tsp of paprika. At the end of cooking chop the green onions (tops and bottoms) and mix in until heated. It's simple and delicious!! Everytime I make it people love it. I like it served hot but it's also good served warm. Try it you'll love it!!!

a feta and spinach pie--- YUM!

how about a cranberyy mold...it is always a hit in my house...has fruit in it, and nuts...

or the sweet potatoes other have mentioned

OR regular roasted potatoes...EASY recipe and everyone loves it

regular white potatoes cut up in fours
drizzled with a little olive oil
I use a dash of adobo (only cause Fh says it tastes better, but i have done it without it and he never knows the difference! )

and one package of Onion Soup mix (or two depending on amount of potatoes)


mix it all up...put in the oven on 350-375
til cooked...about 35 minutes..but keep checking

My all time favorite Holiday dish is Broccoli -cheese casserole. I think it might be a southern thing, but it is soooo easy and soooo yummy. Here is the recipe.

1 package of frozen chopped broccoli
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 egg
1 cup of Mayo
1 cup diced onion
1-2 cups chedder cheese (shredded)
1-2 cups crushed chez-its

Defrost the broccoli. Mix soup, egg, mayo, onion, cheese and broccoli together. Bake until heated through (about 30-40 min). Top with crushed Chez-its and bake for 10 more min. Pull out of the oven and enjoy!!

It reheats great in the oven or microwave.

I have a really easy yummy recipe for corn casserole. I got it from foodnetwork.com


1 can creamed corn
1 can regular corn (drained)
1 package jiffy corn muffin mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 stick melted butter (I dont use the butter tho you dont really need it)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

mix the corn, jiffy, sour cream, and butter together

pour into a greased pan.

bake for about 45 minutes or till golden brown on top.

sprinkle the cheese and cook for another 10-15 minutes or till cheese is melted.

candied walnut salad (toss with dressing immediately before serving

1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup sugar
1 bag of 'spring mix' greens
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup gorgonzola cheese
1 tablespoon of rasberry walnut vinegarette
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of olive oil


heat small skillet at medium and add walnuts and sugar. mix until sugar liquifies nad coats walnuts- color should be light brown. dump onto a cooling rack covered with foil. let cool & harden

in a big bowl, toss salad greens, cranberries, gorgonzola and walnuts (broken up if they are stuck together)

mix dressing, vinegar and oil in a separate container. right before you serve, mix dressing into salad and toss.




if you bring this to both parties, just make double the recipe and divvy it up in 2 separate bowls. when its time to serve, just mix with the salad dressing. consider making 2 bowls od salad and 2 litle containers for dressing

I saw this on the food network and now I make it pretty often, it's a nice side dish. Really yummy.
