I *think* stuffing and dressing are the same thing. Just different words..

I was raised vegetarian and my favorite thanksgiving food is this stuff called "piquant balls".  They are hard to explain, but they were our alternative to turkey and I love them.  We only eat them at Thanksgiving.

I voted Stuffing because it's the thing that I object to the least.  It's okay, but better than most everything else.  I think we're having steak for our Thanksgiving meal!

SS - Sweet potato casserole.  Part veggie, part pie, all good.  Pureed sweet potatoes with a crunchy pecan/brown sugar topping.  I see sweet potatoes on tv with marshmallows on top and all I can think is WTF?  Marshmallows?

UN-AMERICAN!

Hahah I kid... but seriously? Maybe it's because this is the one time of year I have Turkey that isn't deli meant but yummmmmm. We are only having 5 adults (including us) and LO this year and we're doing a 12 lb turkey! We cook for leftovers!

I love all Thanksgiving food except for the cranberries, but my vote was for the mashed potatoes, I really am a potato monster at heart!  Drenched in gravy...yummmm!  Then leftovers fried up the next day...and the next...or done up in a turkey/potato casserole of some sort...  *drooool*

Sorry, American TG envy kicking in!  I'm Canadian so no Thanksgiving for us tomorrow, but all this turkey talk is making me think I should do something...might have to go hunt down a small turkey for the weekend. :)

Nope.  I don't even know anyone who makes it with marshmallows!  It seems like it would be too mushy/sweet.  Do you brown the marshmallows to get some crunch?

Well, now I've got to try it!  I'm pretty sure my aunt has already made the pecan topped sweet potatoes for tomorrow, so maybe for Christmas I can try marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes.  BTW - you have GOT to try the pecan/brown sugar topped sweet potatoes.  The pecans and sugar carmelize and it's like a candy shell on top of the potatoes.

Food that I don't have to make.

Seriously though if someone handed me a huge bowl of stuffing I would be a happy camper.

I had found a recipe for just the pecan and brown sugar topped potatoes... then my MIL brought over some marshmallows and a recipe for it with just the marshmallows on top of it that she wanted me to make. I am wondering if I can still incorporate the pecans without it being too sweet. I really like mine with pecans!

I was a vegetarian for 8 years and I swear this holiday made me a carb addict. I just ate a bunch of the sides (mainly mashed potatoes) and filled up. Yum!
