Thanksgiving Tips and Recipes
November 16, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment
Last year I wrote a page of my Thanksgiving tips and recipes, including a couple of different ways to cook turkeys and collected some useful links about turkeys. I shared some of my do-ahead tips and favorite side dish and dessert recipes as well.
I need to sit down and plan out this year’s menu and decide how I’m going to cook the turkey. I think I’ve only got about a dozen to cook for this year, smaller than our norm. I usually try out a few new side dishes and appetizers but have to keep a few old favorites around too.
What are your must-have traditional dishes for your family? Are you also going to experiment with some new recipes this year? Please share!
I have had a food blog since 2001, back when there were just a few hundred! I like to explore new recipes, including new cuisines. My recipes are usually not gourmet but now and then may be. In addition to cooking, I play fiddle and guitar, garden and read a lot. [
