Not tried & true but in pawing around for T'giving recipes I came across a
tomato pie thread. Seems like it would be a colorful addition. Here's an answer

I looked through *most* of those, and they look like they'll be worth a try (if
I ever get time).

Here's a link to a Vadalia Onion pie that I have made several times, several
variations, with pictures of the set-up, and some additional comments from
others that I think help to make it "Tried and True". Well, there's always room
for improvement. ;-).

It was an oven recipe before I got hold of it, I just can't seem to use the
indoor oven much any more.

If you can find it at your neighborhood market, a vegetable I like a
lot is broccolini, or baby broccoli. It has smaller heads longer,
thinner stalks, and a milder taste than adult broccoli. Since
Thanksgiving is already a very elaborate, rich meal, sometimes less is
more. Steam up the broccolini, then toss it with butter and lemon
juice after draining it. If your host/hostess has a microwave, put
the cooked vegetable in a microwaveable dish, and zap it right before
dinner. Steamed asparagus cooked the same way is also good. For that
matter, Zucchini would be good, treated that way. But the Zucchini
dish you describe does sound very nice.

There is no accounting for tastes. I heard about a mystical casserole at
work. Imagine a baker brimming with canned string beans swimming in
cream of celery soup concentrate with those greasy round chowmein
noodles on top.

ObreadFood: I made a big pot of chili expecting hubby's grown kids plus
pals (no shows, I found out well into the chili), and added the one cup
leftover pumpkin puree from yesterday's pie. It gave the bean chili a
tartish flavour that was improved with some garam masala and ground
coriander, now making a tasty sauce.
And for repeat post of that non-low fat tofu pumpkin pie that will
"pass" for the real thing:

1 Lb Japanese firm silken tofu, drained
16 oz can pumpkin puree or 1 3/4 Cups fresh puree
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 ground nutmeg
1/2 salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/3 cup vegetable oil (not olive) I used marg.
1 tsp. ground ginger
unbaked 9 inch deep dish pie crust

What you do

Preheat oven to 350. Combine all filling ingredients
except pie shell and ginger.
Mix in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Add the ginger, then blend again. Pour filling into
unbaked pie shell, bake 1
hour.

Hi Elisa, Just a quick note to let you know I tried this crockpot
recipe that I had posted about... I thought it turned out pretty awful
and won't do it again. I thought it was going to be like a spinach
souffle or something, but it really was a gloppy mess.

My next door neighbor liked it, though.

Hi Elisa, Just a quick note to let you know I tried this crockpot
recipe that I had posted about... I thought it turned out pretty awful
and won't do it again. I thought it was going to be like a spinach
souffle or something, but it really was a gloppy mess.

My next door neighbor liked it, though.

What a shame. Anyway, I had Emeril's recipe for mashed sweet potatoes
that included molasses and cream and spices (I'm sure the recipe is on
foodnetwork.com) and it was quite good. I also had roasted
brussels sprouts (sorry) and they were not cooked long enough.
That's okay, I'll cook them more and have them maybe tomorrow.

I haven't had scalloped corn since I was a kid -- this was one of the

love it.

Thanks, Nancy. Seen any mounties lately?

No Mounties - don't know if they're hiding from me, or if I'm so old I
just can't see them. LOL.
