Undeniably Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday to prepare a delicious meal for family and friends!!! I actually have a ton of fun planning, preparing and serving the meal. Of course a reliable over is necessary!

Cate McLean on 10.24.2011 at 12:38 PM
I can’t wait to make my cousin Kathy’s Holiday Pear recipe. It includes cranberries, pears, lemon and spices and goes with dinner as a savory dish or with ice cream as a sweet dessert! Yum!
Trista on 10.24.2011 at 12:38 PM
I love making my mom’s apple pie recipe! I can’t cook well, but I can whip up a GREAT apple pie :)

Callie Thompson on 10.24.2011 at 12:42 PM
I love making pumpkin pie! And when I’m home in the south, my family and I love making our own vegetarian southern holiday food– cheese grits, avocado and pink grapefruit salad, goat cheese and honey on baguette, and tofu chocolate pudding for dessert.

Sugar cookies!
Joshua Schneiderman on 10.24.2011 at 13:01 PM
We have so many great cooks in the family that it’s impossible to steal the show, however, a pumpkin bar recipe that has been in the family for at least a few generations is always popular.
Ken G. on 10.24.2011 at 13:01 PM
My wife’s mac n’ cheese is pined for, then devoured every Thanksgiving.
Mike on 10.24.2011 at 13:02 PM
It feels like a cliche, but it isn’t Thanksgiving without green bean casserole and sweet potato pie. Yum!
Diana on 10.24.2011 at 13:02 PM
Chocolate chip cookies! Simple, but who doesn’t love them?
Keely on 10.24.2011 at 13:03 PM
Baked Brussel Sprouts with Prosciutto and mozzarella
Gecko Gail on 10.24.2011 at 13:03 PM
Stuffing for the turkey – one side of the pan with sausage, the other with oysters, so everyone can get their favorite. Plus green bean casserole with french fried onions (I double up on the onions). Plus baked sweet potatoes (like regular baked potatoes – no marshmallows for me!). Plus real croissants.
The day before is pie day. The turkey gets done on the grill because there is no room in my small oven. So I hope to win this one!!!
Tyler(plastolux) on 10.24.2011 at 13:05 PM
YAMS! with a load of brown sugar and butter topped with melted marshmallows.
Tricia on 10.24.2011 at 13:05 PM
I don’t know if it’s “signature” since I stole the recipe from Smitten Kitchen, but definitely a dark chocolate tart with gingerbread snap crust. Recipe here: http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/11/dark-chocolate-tart-with-gingersnap-crust/
Chris on 10.24.2011 at 13:06 PM
Green bean casserole with fried onions on top.

Even though I love store bought pumpkin, my family ALWAYS asks me to make my homemade apple cinnamon pie.
Janet on 10.24.2011 at 13:10 PM
I like to make Krumkake, a Scandinavian cookie.
DB on 10.24.2011 at 13:10 PM
Sweet potatoes, in a so-far-successful attempt to prove a fine souffle or even mashed and molasses-fied is better than slicing them and tossing in mini-marshmallows.
I can respect some people love them, and their mother/grandmother made her own marshmallows out of sugar she picked… so do what you like. But i will continue to prove my point to anyone interested.
Dean Jackson on 10.24.2011 at 13:10 PM
Peanut butter and chocolate fudge.
One of these days, I need to learn to make nut rolls from my polish relatives. Delicious.

It’s a toss-up: Broccoli cheese casserole or Sweet Potato Casserole. Yum!
Kim Willis on 10.24.2011 at 13:27 PM
No matter how creative or fancy we do the holidays, I always make one dish of the old fashioned, traditional green bean casserole using the cheapest can of cream of mushroom soup — there’s no other way! And my family loves it.

We always have pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas, home made with lots of whipped cream. It’s a staple!
Caitlin on 10.24.2011 at 13:52 PM
It’s not a holiday without at least two pies, usually three: Apple, pumpkin and pecan.

My father in law always made a steamed pudding recipe passed down through the generations. After he died I took up the tradition, even though I HATE fruitcake. I altered the recipe and it is now a big family hit with me making 5-7 steamed rum/nut/dried berry cakes!
Kim Horgan on 10.24.2011 at 14:15 PM
I like baking pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting. I make them every fall and all through the winter holidays.
Sten Ryason on 10.24.2011 at 14:16 PM
Two faves: Prime rib roast (the original Roast Beast) with appropriate side dishes, and/or Baumkuchen, a traditional Austrian cake made by broiling one thin layer of batter after another until you run out of batter, with layers of apricot preserves in between every other layer and a coating of chocolate and ground pistachios.
Nancy Manning on 10.24.2011 at 14:16 PM
My signature dish is my cranberry sauce.
Wendi Brown on 10.24.2011 at 14:27 PM
I make a special sausage stuffing that has been a tradition in my family. Even though my children are 25 and 20 years old, they still help me to cut up all the
bread, celery and onions. Spending time making the stuffing with my children is something I am truly thankful for
aninda on 10.24.2011 at 14:28 PM

Ryan Pittman on 10.24.2011 at 17:48 PM
I love serving seasonal sauteed vegetables. Cooked in some olive oil and served fresh. There is nothing better than that. Unless it is sweet potatoes with pecans and marshmallows on top. :)
Tom on 10.24.2011 at 17:50 PM
Cheesecake, Turkey, or cookies. Really depends on which holiday. :)
MaritS on 10.24.2011 at 18:00 PM
I have a baked applesauce recipe with brandy that is spicy and fragrant. Everyone loves it!

Michelle on 10.24.2011 at 20:13 PM
Brussel sprouts with pancetta and chestnuts. Afterword everyone always says “I thought I hated brussel sprouts until I had these.” It is delicious and you always need a green. Oh and the best part is if I make the green there is no chance someone will bring that green bean dish with the cream of mushroom soup. You know the one.
jeni on 10.24.2011 at 20:18 PM
I love making sweet potatoes and apples. Yummy slices of both are alternated in a baking dish and then sprinkled with lots of butter and sugar. Delicious!

fresh cranberry sauce — cranberries, sugar, water. done. seriously. we grew up with cranberry sauce from a can and when i learned how to do it fresh i flipped out. you can do all sorts of sage-infused stuffings, golden chantrelle gravies and three-way mashed potatoes — let them spin out of their orbits. but anchor them, yes, anchor them with simple, straight, delicious cranberry sauce…
Michela on 10.25.2011 at 03:27 AM
pumpkin pie always and forever times one million!

Julie Garvey on 10.25.2011 at 13:56 PM
Lefse and baked cranberry sauce! Lefse is Norwegian flatbread that my Nana taught me to make, and cranberry because they are tart and plentiful during the fall season, similar to the traditional lingonberry. As the granddaughter of Norwegian immigrants, Nana always liked to keep the family traditions alive, and I continue to make these dishes because it is associated with memories of her and is a delicious tradition that I hope to keep up as I start a family.
Gary Spykman on 10.25.2011 at 13:57 PM

The signature holiday dish I love preparing for family and friends is roasted pears. I top they with blue cheese and cinnamon. It’s a really easy-to-make dish. They make a good appetizer or a dessert. Practically speaking though, when I make them, they vanish quickly, before dinner, so I consider them more of an appetizer.

KD on 10.27.2011 at 11:56 AM
Corn Casserole Souffle, my family and friends request this year round, everyone looks forward to it- when I started taking it for Scout cookouts, other Mom’s have tried desperately to one-up this one, yet- mine is always the empty one to carry home (which is how I measure success or failure, because I don’t wanna eat it next week or toss it- so, it has to be EMPTY to win!)

My one dish that is requested at both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners is homemade mac and cheese. Not very fancy, but everyone loves it and it’s 100% better than the kind that comes in a box!
Sherry Letienne on 10.27.2011 at 19:48 PM
Sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving with it’s sweet filling & crunchy & nutty topping…yummy!! And Pistachio Pudding for Christmas with it’s pretty green color is perfect for the season.

In Germany potato salad and sausages are a common meal on christmas because then nobody has to stand in the kitchen for hours to prepare a meal but everybody enjoys the time spent together.

I make sweet potato pies from scratch, even roasting my potatoes, and top with my special streusel, pecan topping, and bake that in, for the last thirty minutes. Yummy and rich, but not cloying.
J Ber on 10.28.2011 at 23:31 PM
Delicious bacon wrapped pears baked to perfection …..then drizzled in honey with a quick sec under the broiler!! All done in a ruffled apron of course!

I love making applie pies and green bean cassarole. You’d think my brother could make it himself, but instead he waits for the holdiays and scarfs it down!

My grandmother’s cornbread stuffing, with pureed pecans, giblets, butter mixed in and moistened with turkey broth (made from cooking the neck and giblets with an onion). It’s cooked inside the organic, free-range, ethically raised turkey, of course.

Allie Schulz on 10.30.2011 at 14:11 PM
Pumpkin rolls (kind of like this http://tammysrecipes.com/pumpkin_dinner_rolls) But made with a rich homemade eggnog instead of the milk. For this you need a well tempered oven!
sarah schaible on 10.30.2011 at 14:25 PM
Pumpkin Pie with thick crust so the bottom stays soft and tons of ready whip on top.
Christina Haley on 10.30.2011 at 14:43 PM
I have lots of dishes my family love, however I just like Tuesday’s dinners. Every Tuesday is Try-It Tuesday. We ask a family member, friend, or whoever to give us an ingredient for our dinner. We then base our dinner off that ingredient. We have come up with some great dishes throughout the months we have been doing this.
judy vega on 10.30.2011 at 14:47 PM
Tamales of course. Take forever to make but love them all. The pork ones, beef, turkey, pineapple, or even the cheese and jalepeno ones.
J. Brandt on 10.30.2011 at 15:56 PM
Butternut squash, fennel, sweet potato soup. Heaven. And nutricious…

One thing I love making for my family every year on both Xmas and Thanksgiving is this weird pie I make. It doesn’t even have a name. It has a a graham cracker crust, the bottom layer is pumpkin pie , a top layer of cheesecake, and on top of that I take pecans crush them up and add some condensed milk and other things.. It makes a version nice version of pecan pie on the top. Would love to win this I love to bake and the current oven I have well it is just not that great. Thanks for hosting good luck all
