Many of us eat similar foods on Thanksgiving but I am wondering what your family favorites are. We do mashed rutabaga, creamed onions and my own superb stuffing (outside the bird) as foods not everyone does. (well lots of people do stuffing but NOT mine! LOL) So what does your family do to put a twist on the traditional meal?

What time do you eat your feast? We eat between 4-5, not early like many families do.

This year I will be at work, hope I get some leftovers for THE sandwich the next day, that's really my favorite part of the whole thing! Turkey, stuffing and cranberry jell on hearty white bread with mayo...this from a non carb eater! Gosh I am getting hungry!

i'm starving.
you're not helping.
but i'm mexican.
so we always have your traditional mashed potatoes, turkey, blah blah blah.
but then we also have anotherrrr completely different meal.
bunch of mexican food.
so usually we eat twice.
yeah.
we're fatties.

Well we still do the traditional Thanksgiving dinner with the turkey and all the trimmings...... Got to have my turkey and dressing with giblet gravy........ and ohhhhhhhhhh of course all the desserts....

Now last year for Christmas well we went off my traditional dinner and we had Mexican food my daughters b/f dad even sent us some homemade tamales it was awesome....

But I missed my turkey and dressing lol


Ohhh and it is always served around noon...........we skip breakfast and ready to eat at that time....

Your not fat, your phat!! You eat twice in one day?? Even hungry that sounds like to much. That said I do love Mexican food so would do my best!

We usually snack and nosh on Christmas then have home made beef veggie soup or the like, makes it easy for people coming over who have had their big meal elsewhere. (at the in-laws etc etc) A few hours after a big meal most folks can fit in a bowl of soup and great bread with lots of butter on it.

Gosh am I ever hungry!! Maybe another glass of wine will fill the hole!

like i said,
we're fatties.
or "phatties."
haha.
whichever.
but my family can eattttttttt.
leftovers?
psh.
what are those.

we usually eat around 3 or 4p.m. and its deepfry turkey in peanut oil,with cranberry from a can,mash/gravy,buns and cherry or pumpkin pie

I was gonna say you better have some damn tamales, caserole, calibacitas, taquitos, chimis, carne asada, enchiladas, guac...can't forget the guac, salsa and sour cream.

we eat the same meal that has been in my family for more than 100 years, and I think my ex has adopted it too, and also friends we've shared w/ over the years. It's pretty traditional, but every year we add 1 new thing - this year I'd like my son's fiance from Thailand to bring a Thai dish

Anyway - turkey, sage, celery & onion stuffing (I used to make it from my own bread that I baked- my kids never had bread from a store till they started school) w/ cornbread mixed in, gravy from the bird, baked potatoes, candied yams, homemade biscuits, green beans-steamed, cranberry sauce made from whole cranberries, pumpkin & apples pies, vanilla ice cream & whipped cream

homemade pickles during the years that I made them

one year we threw a pizza in there too for the heck of it

we always fast during the holidays. well not all of us, my stepbrother and stepmother and my dad don't. hopefully when i become worthy i can join in

OMG try the Cajun seasoning that you shoot into the turkey. My son did it that way a few years ago when we deep fried the turkey it was awesome gave the meat a great taste...

I add sliced turkey to my cheese tortilla.

Cooking over thirty turkeys, Wednesday night into Thanksgiving.

I usally have a turkey tv dinner, I've already got one for this years

My family is making sausage and chicken gumbo, tater salad, & pumpkin pies

actually we do that and your right it taste great, we haven't stopped using it yet

seamac,,,,,creamed onions?!! sounds yummy

crackle barrel this year
