Butter, Sugar, and Pretzels…
I just got back from On The Border with my music staff and am fairly certain that was not a good idea.
No. Not because of my company, but because of the amount of chips that went down my pie-hole.
I love chips and salsa, but if there is anything I like more, it is what lands in front of me on Thanksgiving Day.
We are staying local this year and being hosted by lots of wonderful friends.
But I will miss my moms cooking.
Specifically this whipped cream, butter lathered pretzel thing that she makes. I don’t know what it is called, but the sugar and butter are enough to take a year off your life.
What is the ONE thing that lands on the plate in front of you ONLY on Thanksgiving day that you are salivating just thinking about?
And feel free to answer that question without using a run on sentence like I just used.

RAIN IT DOWN
My mother-in-law’s pan full o’ dressing…homemade and deadly serious…
canned cranberry sauce that falls out of the can in the shape of the can…mmmm
Candied Sweet Potato’s – I can’t get enough of them. Seems that its only on Thanksgiving, most of the time.
My grandmothers dressing. Makes you wanna kick a dog.
surprisingly it is green bean casserole. it is something i HATED when i was little but mmmm i can’t wait for it now.
Get this, made from scratch Mac and Cheese…no joke, it’ll make you scream at night.
Chocolate chess pie. The richest, chocolateiest, most yummy chocolate pie in the world. I don’t necessarily just eat it at Thanksgiving, but I don’t think I’ve ever made it more than once a year. Because I like my arteries. And having a waist.
my wife is going to bake a pecan pie.
ding ding – im salivating already.
my creamed corn. i only make it for holiday dinners because it would be entirely too dangerous to have around normally. lots of butter and yummy cream cheese goodness.
pumpkin soup! yummy!
My mom’s cajun cornbread dressing. I’m making it this year since I won’t be in Baton Rouge. I’ve never had anyone taste it that did not say it was the best they have ever had. Yummy.
sweet potato casserole with LOTS of marshmellows baked on top of it. i’m easy.
I love turkey leftovers, they are so much better day two, know what i mean?
Stuffing sans muchrooms
The turkey sandwich the next day with everything (and I mean everything!) on it!
yo… my mom makes the same kind of butter, sugar, pretzels but with strawberries and jell-o. This is the first year that I have been away from family on turkey day and I just told my wife she should make that for me this year.
She laughed.
oh well.
Pumpkin Cheesecake with a gingersnap crust and maple glaze topping… OMG! It is so good!
Adding all of the favorites from the above comments we could make the perfect meal!
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! My prayer is that you have much for which to be thankful!
ummmmm, my Moms’ candied sweet potatoes, I scored the recipe a long time ago, and good thing too, because she is no longer with us, so if you love a loved ones recipe, GET IT! Their legacy of delish food will at least live on…. I make everyone else love it too, since that is what I always volunteer to make…
::: sniffle :::
I miss On The Border. They don’t have them here in Orlando.
I like it all verra much. I think though… the thing that brings me delight is memories of my Great Granny’s Chocolate pie and my Mama’s deviled eggs.
:::mmmm:::
my ex-husband’s sister’s homemade mac n cheese. it doesn’t get any better than that as far as food goes… the good thing is, when i’m back in cali, she’ll make it for me… =0)
Dinner rolls. You know, when you butter them up and put them in the microwave for 20 seconds.
I don’t care if that sounded dumb. I’m very thankful for my dinner rolls.
Happy Thanksgiving!
thanksgiving? never done thanksgiving… although i do like the sound of it… sounds like 2 big christmas dinners within a month of each other
I used to make the usual sweet potatoes w/marshmallows and they didn’t get eaten except by me. Then I found this awesome recipe for a casserole with them half mashed and a topping of pecans, brown sugar, flour and butter. Now everyone loves them and I can’t wait. I guess it’s big in the south, but pretty much unheard of here in Ohio. YUMMY!!
My family’s secret recipe of stuffing or, “dressin’” as they call it in the South. It is the best there is and I will eat more of that than anything else!
mashed potatoes and gravy. And apple and sour cream pie.
This pineapple thing that my mom makes! I have tried to make it in the past, but it just does not taste as good as when my mom makes it! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Pumpkin Pie… from Wal-Mart!!
Green bean casserole. Even though I get that for Christmas dinner two.
My two favorite dinners of the year. =P
Ooh, oooh, oooooh. Definitely my mama’s stuffing. Not your standard Stove Top this….it’s full of yummy apples, raisins, carrots, red wine, olives, a little ground beef and turkey neck. Wooo boy. Sounds really nasty but it is straight up delish. That and mom’s homemade bread. I use it sort of as a plate for the butter. Real butter. Wooo boy….I’m so full right now that my pj bottom seams are at maximum capacity.
my mom/dads stuffing…not sure who really makes it…..but it is amazing!
i didnt get it this year, but right now i am thinking about it and my mouth is watering….man….i have to wait a year….so sad.
