Who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year?

If you're hosting, or even just bringing a dish to someone's house..................

What is your signature dish?
Would you mind sharing the recipe?

Re: Who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year?

This is my absolute go to recipe for
Hors d'oeuvres at my home, or when I need to bring something.

I make the dough with GF flour and no bread crumbs if I need to do GF.

Dh and I will be on a beach in Jamaica!!


But my go to app (and a family favorite for years) and so easy is ... Rumaki.

Ingredients:
2 cans of whole water chestnuts
low sodium soy sauce
1 lb of bacon (cut package in 1/2)
1 Jar of Duck Sauce
(and tooth picks)


Open, Drain, slice in 1/2 (vertically) and soak in enough soy sauce to cover (usually 4 hrs to overnight).

Preheat over to 375 degrees

Slice bacon package in 1/2. Wrap water chestnut with a slice of bacon, hold together with a tooth pick and place on bacon sheet.

Bake for 35 minutes or until bacon is nice and crispy. Drain and place in a bowl. Toss with Duck Sauce (enough to coat well the bacon).

Serve... its good Hot or warm or room temperature.

I am hosting, as usual! I actually love hosting holidays.

My signature holiday dish is a side dish -- Carrot Souffle. Even carrot haters love this, as it tastes more like cake batter than carrots. It's really good with roasted meats, like turkey. But it's definitely a holiday indulgence.

It's a great holiday dish because you can make it ahead and refrigerate it. Reheat in oven or even microwave (to save oven space) before serving.

Carrot Souffle (serves 8 as a side dish)

1 2lb bag baby carrots
1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, melted
6 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
6 TB all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Boil carrots until very soft; drain.

Blend with melted butter until smooth (I use a full sized food processor, but you could use a blender, a stand mixer, etc.)

Add in remaining ingredients and mix/blend well.

Pour batter into greased baking dish (a deep round dish, like a corningware or a souffle dish is best).

Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes (until knife in middle comes out clean and its seems set). If it browns too quickly, lower heat to 325.

I love how severely unhealthy all of our favorite recipes are. Ugh, and they really are the best!! I need someone to sew my mouth shut until January!!

Homemade applesauce!

Off the top of my head...

8 apples
1/2 cup of sugar
1 cup Apple cider
2 cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Peel, core and chop all apples
Put all ingredients in pot
Cook and stir until desired consistency!

My mom physically hosts, but her and I do all of the cooking together. Basically, she makes the turkey and pasta (Italian Thanksgiving) and I do everything else. LOL
DH & I make the best stuffing ever. We actually have to make several smaller batches to send to our neighbors and friends. LOL
It's terribly unhealthy- but so amazingly good and involves: loaves of white bread, chicken broth, onions, celery, sausage meat, bacon and romano cheese.

Re: Who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year?

can you say how you actually make this stuffing?. It sounds delicious
