Thanksgiving Food - 2016
 

I figured I would start a thread specifically for Thanksgiving food. Pictures, recipe help, and whatnot.

I am not sure what my final menu will be - probably Turkey (duh), salad, asparagus, rolls, and one type of potato. I am trying to decide between mashed potatoes and scalloped. Pretty sure I am going to go with scalloped though.

And brownies for dessert. Because I like brownies and I am the only one attending the wonderful dinner.

Whatcha all doing?

Going to the In-laws for prime rib, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green bean casserole. We are making the green bean casserole. YUM!!!

So please to explain to the furriner - what is a green bean casserole? Recipe?

@limey - from wikipedia - "Green bean casserole is a casserole consisting of green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and french fried onions. It is a popular Thanksgiving side dish in the United States" I don't eat it, personally. I don't like beans or mushrooms - lol

This is the one I like. Of course I substitute my self-foraged wild mushrooms. :)

I like green beans. I like cream of mushroom soup. I like french-fried onions.

I do not like green bean casserole.:greenface

Why cook?

Just give me the $50,000. I'll take the $49,900 and spend it on things that are actually worthwhile instead of one dumb ass meal.

I wish I'd found this sooner.

Did you pull that off the internet, Bruce? Dierbergs is a STL-based chain.

Y'see I think I'm with you here. I mean, I can imagine that green beans in a mushroom sauce might be ok. But, but ... French fried onions? Isn't the point that they are crunchy? Do they stay crunchy after this treatment? Surely they just add gloopiness to an already gloopy thing?

You put the onions on in the last few minutes of baking.

OK. that would make sense. Who knows, I might give it a whirl some time ...

Making a combination traditional and plant-based feast. Small turkey with stuffing, potatoes, gravy, etc. Squash-miso soup. Roasted vegetables, winter squashes stuffed with savory brown rice/cranberry/walnut stuffing, kale and cranberry salad, homemade cranberry-orange relish, traditional and vegan pies (pumpkin, key lime). Looking forward to it. :)

I hope you're not alone today, Bruce. I'll raise a glass in your direction tonight. I'm glad I know you. And all Yall

Yeah, home alone like every holiday, but that's OK, I enjoy my company. :blush:

My aunt is making the turkey, basted with coconut oil instead of butter. We can't eat anything else she's making. Minifobette still can't eat the turkey no matter what it's basted with, so we're bringing a single duck leg for her.

Other than that, I'm bringing:

Deviled eggs (duck eggs, duck egg mayo, some seasonings)
Cranberry sauce (cranberries, fresh squeezed OJ, honey)
Roasted carrots (carrots, salt, cinnamon)
Stuffing (coconut flour buns, onion/celery/seasonings, duck broth, duck eggs)
Banana Cream pie (almond flour crust, bananas, coconut milk & duck egg vanilla pudding, tiny almond flour cookies that look like Nilla wafers, duck egg meringue)
Gluten-free cherry pie I bought at Whole Foods (because no one actually likes pumpkin and sweet potato pie, and they always eat the shit out of the dessert I brought for the kids and see no problem with the fact that now there is nothing left they can eat and 2.5 pumpkin pies left sitting in my aunt's fridge. The kids still can't eat the cherry pie, but maybe it will throw everyone else off the scent.)

I do something similar in making sure that everyone at the Thanksgiving dinner table has something individually suited to them ... only with the wines.

Sign me up!

Sounds amazing. I had a great recipe for kale salad but I lost it. No mater ow much you made it would disappear, There was literally never enough, sort of like the reverse of a bottomless bowl... I should try to find that recipe again.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, foot, Bruce, everyone! Thankful to be here with family and friends.

Just made a plant-based gluten free key lime pie and it tastes amazing. Way better than I'd anticipated. :yum:

J's sister hosting this year so all we had to make was sweet potato casserole and brussel sprouts gratin side dishes. S'all good eatin' in about a hour and a half

Holiday feast is over. Home again and waiting for the Cowboys to start playing. I hope the other team makes a wowser play so I can call LJ and go yaneh yaneh.

To hell with the food, I want to see the Giraffe onesie. :blush:

For Bruce. Only because it's awesome

Outstanding! Thank you! You made my day. :hugnkiss:

Welcome :D Happy Thanksgiving!!

Vegan gluten-free pumpkin pie was awesome. Family officially preferred it to Wegmans pie. Ditto for the key lime pie. Who'd a thunk?

And no tofu or weird stuff in either pie.

Ortho, your awesome. :thumb:

Your awesome what?

Perfect....:cool:

Sorry, just excited about how good the recipes were. :blush:

I expected the neck to be a bit longer...

Me? I'm a mutated giraffe. You should see how low my crotch hangs - lol

:right:

Yes, yes I should. :D

What the hell has happened in this thread?:eyebrow:

Thanksgiving should always have spice. :joylove:

OMG, now you wanna see her pie?!?!?!?!??!

Bruce - Go to your room! Oh wait.

Giraffe onesie......

either that or the image of a low hanging crotch.

In the giraffe onesie!! It's not my actual crotch!! It's the giraffe crotch!!
