Every year we try to simplify the Thanksgiving meal and pare down what we serve (of course that never happens!). Even so, we try to introduce new recipes by flipping thru recent cookbooks/magazines and searching various sites like epicurious.com. Inevitably there's several dishes we must include out of tradition. Of course these are dishes I would never consider making any other time of the year but somehow we just have to have them on the last Thursday in November. For my family that's creamed onions and creamed spinach. How about yours? What will be on your dinner table? |

I will have Bacon and herb turkey breast. Make a compound butter out of bacon, rosemary, sage. oregano, garlic, S & P. Rub it on the breast, under the skin. If you really like bacon, turkey can be basted with bacon fat. |

TX, margaretsanders61, Every year I make cranberry nut bread, and it's always a hit. But, if they ever stop putting the recipe on the back of the cranberry bag I am in trouble. And, when I make it the cranberries jump all over the counter!Very Fresh, of course. I like that green bean casserole with the mushroom soup in it, too. But, I don't want all those fried onions to add oodles of calories! I need to save the calories for the pumpkin pie, mincemeat pie, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and , the hot rolls and butter. How many calories do I save if I skip the fried onions?  |
