Thanksgiving is all about indulging others with an abundance of food and appreciation. So why not treat them with a new recipe for turkey, dressing or casserole for the holiday season.

-Birgit 2

-kittyt17
"I could hardly wait for these to come out of the oven. What an incredible smell, and the taste was even better. Soft, tender, spiced just right and umm, umm good. My husband and I agree that these are some of the best pumpkin muffins we have ever had."
-bella214
“Just made this using our own home-grown spinach and it tasted great! The only thing I added at the end was a good grind of fresh nutmeg, as it goes really well with spinach. Delicious!”
-Bridget C.
"Excellent for those of us with a sweet tooth! So easy to make. Sometimes I make it with the pecans, sometimes with mini marshmallows and sometimes 'au natural!'"
-Kellybean
"I made this with canned corn and it was a great dish! It was a rich veggie dish that would be good for a holiday or everyday dinner."
-AZPARZYCH
"This is really the only recipe you need for mac and cheese. It is perfect exactly the way it is, but since we are cheese-a-holics in our house, I played with different combinations of cheese to get the strong flavor I was searching for."
-amydawn319
"We purposefully were looking for a recipe that didn't need to have drippings since we were sent home with a whole cooked turkey and it needed gravy. We chose this and were very happy. This was so easy to make and super tasty!"
-Jaclyn Dawn

-bob6779
"What I love about this recipe is that it delivers all that is expected. It's super easy to prepare and cooking time was right on the money. I made it exactly as is and wouldn't change a thing."
-quikgourmet
"This is a perfect crust for people who don't like to make them. There is almost no possibility of messing it up.It is actually quite nice as a "pot pie" crust."
-SwoR8193
“This is amazing! I just used cornbread and wild rice, and sprinkled each layer with creole seasoning. Everyone loved it!”
-DianaEatingRichly
“My hubby loved these. They were so easy, and the parmesan and cream really did make the shredded brussels sprouts seem mashed. We love roasted brussels sprouts, but this is another great way to prepare them.”

-lauraram.z
"I have been making this pie for over 40 years. It can't be beat. Others just don't taste right. Baking the pie in a glass or stoneware pie pan helps keep your crust from being soggy on the bottom."
-Donna M.

-Picky_eaters_mom

-HollieHobbie
"Excellent Dessert!! I add a little orange zest in the cream cheese filling and pecans on top of the filling, before back rolling up."
-Linda Kadlec
"So delicious and warming. Perfect addition to a cold January evening. I also threw a bag of fresh cranberries in the Crock Pot with the rest of the ingredients. The result was very similar to the one I used to drink in Poland during holidays."
-Katanashrp
“Wow, this is good! I did it with orange zest, and without it another time. Both ways are delicious, and also goes great on pancakes!”
-Dienna B
A great addition to your Thanksgiving table with its citrus-y, pistachio crunch, and its sweetness from the pears!

"This is a family favorite and is requested every holiday. On Thanksgiving it is perfect, because the stove and oven are full of other delights. The slow cooker is an excellent second option!"
-Mary S
“A nice change of pace for all of my leftover stuffing! I added corn and cheddar cheese, and used a cookie dough scoop to form evenly-sized balls. My family really liked them!”
-steichler
"These were very good. I added chopped apples, and fresh sage and thyme from the garden rather than poultry seasoning. Because I was making them for Thanksgiving I always try to make as much as I can ahead of time, so I baked them two days before, stuck them in the freezer and when needed, just reheated for about 15 minutes with foil overtop!”
-Jan in Lanark
"Wonderful! I served this salad with a turkey dinner, and it really complemented the meal.”
-axxo3846
"Delicious! I’ve tried other mashed sweets, but couldn't find the right mix until now! Being lazy, I didn't even cut the pieces small, just in big chunks, and used 1% milk instead of heavy cream. I whipped them in the Kitchenaid mixer, and they were perfect!”
-schanbacher5
"A wonderful dish! The recipe was easy and it was an elegant side-dish for our dinner. I especially liked the sour cream and swiss flavors. I will be making this dish again."
-Miss Annie

-PugsAndKisses
“Great recipe! The puff pastry can also be substituted for crescent roll dough!”

-LiLMissMuffet
"I have made homemade cranberry sauce before, but never with the orange juice. It added a very nice hint of orange, but it wasn't overpowering. I will never buy canned cranberry sauce again!"

-Marjie501
"This was incredibly easy! I used Braeburn apples and I took the suggestion of making more of the crumble, but next time I'll stick to the original recipe. The extra crumble overpowered the delicious baked apples."

-PaulaG
"My family can't get enough of this. They love it. I baked it for exactly 29 minutes at 350 degrees. If you don't have an iron skillet, do yourself a favor and get one. They aren't expensive and you'll thank me for nudging you in that direction."
-djnoble1
"Extremely easy and tasty! I thought these were going to taste like ranch dressing, but instead the mix gave just enough spice and zing to the potatoes."

-All-Natural-Nut
"Did a half and half butter to shortening for a bit more flavor. Great crust!"
