Thanksgiving coming up!

[sah_goddess]

AH! I just realized Thanksgiving is next Thursday. We are so NOT prepared to host Thanksgiving dinner...I haven't even come up w/ what to serve yet...other than the turkey of course.

I'm curious...what do other families eat on Thanksgiving?

Our usual (and it gets boring year after year): turkey [although last year we had prime rib instead], garlic

Hey. :) I've been back home in SF for a few years.

I usually google for recipes and alter them to fit my needs. Sometimes I get them from friends or cooking communities on LJ, or even just plain improvise.

I haven't tried the Sausage Apple Cranberry Stuffing recipe yet, but it looks really good! I found it here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Awesome-Sausage-Apple-and-Cranberry-Stuffing/Detail.aspx

I'm kind of on your boat, and wanted to do some new things this year, but in case you're interested, this is the tried-and-true stuffing recipe I've used for every Thanksgiving past:

Corn Bread Stuffing

-Corn Bread-
4 boxes Jiffy Cornbread Mix
4 eggs
1 1/3 cup milk

-Stuffing-
1-2 chopped onions
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 eggs
1 tbsp poultry seasoning (may substitute with herbs: rosemary, thyme, sage)
2 cans chicken broth
touches of parsley (optional), salt, and pepper

Directions:
1. Bake cornbread mix according to instructions on the box
2. Sautee onions and celery
3. Crumble cornbread and mix with onions/celery into a huge baking dish.
4. Let cool for a few minutes
5. Add 2 eggs, poultry seasoning, chicken broth, parsley, salt, and pepper.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 min

Yields enough stuffing for at least 12 people. Might want to halve the recipe!

Thanks for the recipe! Alvin's family LOVES stuffing, maybe we'll try that. [There was one year when I made mushroom stuffing and we didn't have enough!] Thanks again!
