Favorite Thanksgiving must have?

For me it's stuffing! And my aunt's turnips. I know that's weird but they are so freaking good!

Re: Favorite Thanksgiving must have?

I love turnips too. I know it's strange like you said, but I never eat turnips throughout the year and there is something so yummy about them!

And stuffing too- that's really my favorite part. Again something I only eat once a year!

Re: Favorite Thanksgiving must have?

Sounds funny, but I just love the apps before. Drinking wine, cheese and crackers, etc.

I do love some good mashed potatoes and rolls and for dessert pumpkin pie! It's the only time I eat it. Once a year and so worth it!

Happy Thanksgiving ladies!

Re: Favorite Thanksgiving must have?

There’s no one favorite

I love my MIL seeet potato casserole with brown sugar crust.
My homemade Mac n cheese that I ever make any other time because it’s so unhealthy lol
The stuffing that’s not difficult but again, has a lot of butter in it - I cook pretty healthy most of the time.

It’s so simple and delicious

4 tbsp salted butter
4 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
2 cups whole milk
1/2 lb fresh sliced deli yellow American cheese (I used land o lakes but whatever kind you like)
1/2 block of yellow cheddar cheese
1 box elbow macaroni
Sprinkling of Pocatello pecorino Romano cheese
Black or white pepper to taste

Cooked macaroni according to box (I always cook Aldente) and put aside.

Melt butter in medium saucepan (I use my Dutch oven pot); remove from heat. Add flour, stir until smooth (I use a whisk). Add sat. Return to heat; gradually add milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Add American cheese and cheddar cheese slowly to melt as you go. Add pecorino and black pepper to taste.
Pour macaroni into the cheese sauce, mix and taste. If it feels like it needs something, it’s probably just more pecorino and pepper.

I keep some on the side for the kids who don’t like a crunch top. And out the rest in a Pyrex. Top with flavored bread crumbs and almost another 1/2 stick of butter cut up along the top and bake on 375 -400 til browned and bubbly.

Delish!! The American cheese makes it the creamiest Mac n cheese I’ve ever had

Much better fresh. It can dry out if you make it in advance. I bake it right before I serve it. Bird comes out and rests for about 40 min or so. While that’s resting I bake the stuffing (with turkey drippings poured over the top of it), reheat corn pudding and bake the Mac n cheese I make the Mac n cheese probably about 2 hours before it’s baked.

I’m starving lol

I burnt my turkey. Not terrible but disappointing.

Kids enjoyed canned cranberries and store bought rolls. Lol.

At least my sides were on point.

Happy holidays!
