OT: Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes



Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year. In times of terrorist
threats, oil prices inflating, real estate markets bottoming out, and
unemployment rates soaring, I try to count my blessings on
Thanksgiving. I do have a great deal to be thankful for, and there
ain't nothing better than a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal.

My favorite part of preparing the dinner is the stuffing. YUMMIE!

I was strolling through the mall the other day and smelled something
wonderful coming out of Williams and Sonoma, an upscale store which
sells cooking items. The aroma was all too familiar, and it drew me
inside the store like a magnet. It was stuffing.

The ingredients were very similar to what I usually use, the bread
crumbs, onions, celery, mushrooms, but the lady in the store added
dried cranberries to the stuffing. It really tasted great. I also add
water chestnuts to my stuffing.

One recipe I will share is the cranberry sauce. I buy fresh
cranberries, place them in about a half inch of water, and let them
boil until they start popping. Then I add sliced-up apples and
walnuts. Some folks like to add a little sugar, so that the sauce is
not too tart. After the cranberry sauce cools, it thickens. It is
easy as can be to make and is always a hit at my Thanksgiving table.

Today, I will go to the store and join others in a mad rush to get all
the ingredients for my meal. I would be most interested to hear from
others about what their favorite stuffing recipe is or any other recipe
for a Thanksgiving meal. Thanks in advance! ;>)
