Thank you for this generous giveaway!

To me, it really wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the stuffing and cranberry sauce. Together! Not mixed together, but eaten together. Yum!

Me too! I love the stuffing covered with gravy. No dieting on that day.

I was just thinking that I needed a pretty shawl pin and then you post one. Great idea.

Thanks for the chance to win.

How pretty!

My favorite food is mashed potatoes! Sometimes I mix them with the cranberry sauce; kind of weird, but it works for me! :)

Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the turkey gravy. I put it on the turkey, the mashed potatoes, and the stuffing and don't even mind when it gets mixed in with the cranberry sauce.

Now you've made me hungry.

What a gorgeous shawl pin and generous give-away!

How can I pick only one food item? Probably stuffing...maybe cranberry chutney (my mother-in-law's recipe), or home-made rolls (my mom's recipe), or pumpkin pie, or turkey. I'll stick with stuffing. Saving the turkey for sandwiches later...

Thanks for the chance! Vera

My favorite Thanksgiving food is the stuffing, but only if it is bread stuffing. I still make mine the way my Mom did--torn bread pieces (and I love to throw in some Hawaiian bread) with cut up giblets, onions, celery, apples, broth from the giblets and plenty of melted butter. Thanksgiving is the one day I let myself eat without guilt!!

What a fun contest!

I love almost all of it... the cranberry sauce, if it's mine or my aunt's, the mashed potatoes, the sweet potato casserole if it isn't too sweet, but my very favorite is the pumpkin pie... and the pecan pie.

My three favorites: roast turkey, homemade stuffing (no box stuffing for me), and pumpkin pie (no whipped cream).

Stuffing. My favorite of all things in any Thanksgiving dinner. :-)

My recently most favorite is mashed cauliflower aka faux mashed potatoes. Its much less starchy and there is no guilt! I use laughing cow light cheese wedges, garlic, salt and pepper to flavor it. I've lost 135 pounds since last thanksgiving and I feel so thankful to be healthy!

My grandmother's bread stuffing. Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it.

Oh you are gonna hate my answer. My favorite? the brussel sprouts and I do nothing special to them - just a little steam.

We cut back many years ago for Thanksgiving. To my husband's dismay, I'm not a fan of turkey, but I fix one anyway (this year he's doing it, either with the rotisserie or smoker) and I make mashed potatoes, stuffing, brussel sprouts, rolls and gravy. That's it. Only one starchy side more than a nice Sunday dinner. I would cut back one but one daughter has to have stuffing and the other mashed potatoes. g

Hooray a giveaway! I am obsessed with my husbands family recipe of creamed, cheesy onions. Oh and the mashed potatoes and gravy, I don't need a bite of turkey, just everything else.
Hugs,
Meredith

My favorite food is my cornbread stuffing. Top it with gravy and it is perfect. It also freezes well so we can enjoy it a few times after Thanksgiving, too! Thanks for the give-away!
2:31 PM
Karen said…
I'm all about the turkey. I could *almost* pass on everything else.
3:35 PM
fancystitching said…
For me it is the oyster dressing (made in pan, not stuffed in a turkey). Cornbread dressing with lots of onion, celery, bell pepper, green onion, canned oysters, broth, etc. Ummm... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!


LOVELY shawl pin! Someone will be a very lucky person.

ONE of my fave Thanksgiving foods is my Aunt Janice's cranberry relish! I LOVE it! Tart and sweet and crunchy.

Dressing next.
Potatoes after that.
It's lunch time and I am starving!!! lol

I always look forward to homemade stuffing and turkey gravy. Yum, yum. At the end of the meal, it's not Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie with a big dollop of real whipped creme.

creamed onions---it is the only time I get them!!!!

Caramelized onion and cornbread pudding.

Beautiful shawl pin! My favorite dish at Thanksgiving is, this is hard, pumpkin pie!

My favorite dish at Thanksgiving (or anytime, really) is my grandma's homemade apple pie. So good.

Mine's a weird one, but it just is not Thanksgiving unless I eat scalloped oysters.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
