What part of T-day dinner are you looking forward to the most?

My mother's corn casserole. It is basically massively upgraded cornbread and so delicious. Second would be pie.

The ham. It's the only day of the year I eat ham. Oh, and seeing my relatives, I guess.

We make a brussel sprouts side dish with heavy cream, cheese, and bacon. It's delicious.

Ooh, nice. Would you be willing to share that recipe?

Enjoy!

Thank you!

I'm hosting this year so I look forward to the part where I manage to pull off making ALL THE FOOD and my family is settling down to eat what is hopefully a delicious, not-burned dinner, LOL. For food, I love the roasted yellow potatoes I make. I toss them with chunks of onion, unpeeled cloves of garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and a bit of thyme.

And then I look forward to the part where people have gone home and my house is clean and the fridge is full of leftovers.

I live for turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it this year...

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and alllllll the pie! We’re going out to a local buffet for it because it’s such a slog doing all that cooking and cleaning for just two people. My husband went to the buffet last year while I was visiting family and begged me to spend this one with him and we go there, so that’s what we’re doing. The plan is that I’ll visit my family every other year :)

Homemade mac and cheese. And putting some mashed potatoes on a bread roll with some turkey.

For actual food, I'm a big fan of stuffing and cranberry sauce washed down with sparkling Cider. TV stuff should be exceptionally entertaining this year as well.

Mashed potatoes and stuffing. Stuffing is one of those things that can be made really good while still gluten-free, and potatoes inherently are.

I don't get the appeal of turkey, it's just worse chicken. It tastes leftover even when it's freshly cooked.

In general it's my least favorite of the food-centric holidays.

Not to sound egotistical but I'm a good cook. everything about it except for two things:
1. I have to have the window open and the box and kitchen fans going full blast because if I don't the stupid smoke alarm goes off every time I turn the oven on. Which means I'm freezing and no TV or music because the fans are too loud for me to hear anything else.
2. I'm going to be alone for the fifth year in a row.

I temporarily disable my smoke alarm when I'm cooking something smokey. I've also heard you can put one of those disposable plastic shower caps over it to keep it from going off prematurely.

As for #2, I'm sorry, hon. You seem like a cool person, and if I were doing Thanksgiving instead of hosting family and we lived in the same city, you'd get an invite!

unfortunately I can't temporarily disable it, I would if I could.
never heard the shower cap hack before.
thank you, that's a sweet thing to say!

Stuffing and green bean casserole! I'm going to make stuffing from scratch this year, and I've figured out how to doctor green bean casserole enough that it's delicious and umami-y rather than sad slime so it's a favorite.

Green bean casserole is NEVER sad slime. How dare you, Sir or Madam.

Haha, my apologies - I only knew it by a bad reputation growing up, and never actually had it until I was an adult making it for myself.

Sitting down to eat turkey, potatoes at least 2 ways, and this year, cat wait to eat my mom's stuffed chicken wings...
....while LOTR on TBS is on in the background
