I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year, and I am looking for all your favorite recipes. I especially need vegetable side dishes and appetizers. I’m hosting about ten people.
My favorite Thanksgiving dish is pecan-crusted sweet potatoes.

I made this one the last time i hosted. Make ahead as much food so you can just heat things up on the day of.
We prefer roasted sweet potatoes over mashed, textural thing. These are both tried and tested recipes for us:
Classic Green Bean casserole!

Green bean casserole is a must. I cook it on the stove first with onions and bacon and cream of celery soup.
Then top it off with French fried onions and bake about 30 minutes

I also flipped the bird when i made my last big turkey. Totally disaster, just tasted ok. The flipping of a 15# bird is tough. Ended up throwing out the towels i used to flip it. tongs and fork didn’t work. nor did paper towels.

I was just thinking that for fun you could make Ratatouille in a slow cooker for a colorful veggie dish.

We do a similar salad at my house but it includes crispy bacon sprinkled on top.

I make dressing. I don’t really measure, just go by what feels right.
1:1 ratio cornbread and homemade biscuits crumbled.I use 1 pan biscuits and 1 pan cornbread.
1 big onion chopped
3 or 4 celery sticks chopped
3 or 4 boiled eggs chopped
About 1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teapoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt, maybe less to taste
Mix dry ingredients
3 raw eggs
Broth, chicken, turkey, or vegetable
Mix well in a big bowl. Add eggs and then enough broth to make it wet like cake batter consistency. It’ll be real lumpy. Some dry chunks of biscuit and cornbread is ok, adds texture. Pour in a greased pan and bake at 375f until it pulls from the edges and has golden brown peaks.

Hey? You add brown sugar to sweet potatoes?! Is this meant to be a dessert?
My mom used to add little marshmallows and walnut pieces along with brown sugar. The marshmallows would melt and cover the sweet potatoes. It was a side dish, not a dessert.
Wow. There is a world of difference between what Americans do to sweet potato and what Aussies do to them. We use butter, a little milk, salt and pepper. I honestly can’t imagine what adding brown sugar and marshmallows would taste like. So much sweet stuff, that’s why I thought it was a dessert. What other funky things do you do with food over there?
Yeah the portion sizes are obscene. I’ve watched a few cooking shows on food network that are from America and I’ve always been dumbfounded at the sheer size of the servings. Why do you serve so much food in one sitting? Do you really eat all that food in one go or do you take it away?
