Ohhh Victorian era and 1800's historical fiction. I also enjoy pirate related (this means romance lol). Some modern stuff, but not much

Mine would be MM Kaye. I loved the Far Pavillions. A big thick book and a great love story

WOW and to think we get our country hams here for 1.29 a pound. I would have mad a fuss too!

Alie, I'm sure you could use a low fat option to the butter. This is an old Mennonite recipe and mostly what we had on hand was butter. Let me know how it turns out and good luck getting that cholesterol down

Thanks so much

I am going to try the orange glazed sweet potatoes this year cuz they sure do sound good and the cranberry relish is the recipe i have been looking for! this is going to be fun cooking! Ok, here is my contributions to the recipe fund:

===================

Scalloped Corn

2 cups canned corn

1 cup milk

2/3 cup cracker or bread crumbs

3 TBS melted butter

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 TBS sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp minced onion

Beat the eggs and add milk and crumbs. Add the corn, onion, seasoning, and melted butter. Mix together well and pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Serves 6.

=========================

Cornbread dressing

1 cup diced celery

1 medium onion, chopped

1/4 cup butter

3 cups dried and crumbled cornbread

2 cups dried and crubled biscuits

1 TBS salt

1/4 tsp thyme

1/4 tsp sage (optional)

Mix all ingrediants well and stuff into turkey or cook along side turkey or ham in the pan. Add water or broth as needed to keep moist. (this came from an old farm cook book in the 1890's)

====================================

Willie Maes Peacan Pie

oven to 350

9" pie crust (recipe to follow)

mix together the following:

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 TBS flour

1 tsp salt

1 cup light kayro syrup

Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Add 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup peacans and 1 tsp vanilla. Bake 50 minutes till firm. Makes one delicious pie

====================================

Jeri's never fail pie crust

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup shortening

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp vinegar

1/3 cup cold water

Mix flour and salt. Mix in shortening. Mix liquids together in seperate bowl and then add to flour mixture.

This will make enough dough for 3 double crust pies. It will keep in the fridge for 3 months and in the freezer up to a year. It never fails to come out flaky and you can roll it as much as you can and it still stays flaky. Even I cant mess this one up

Enjoy yall and keep them recipes coming

Homesteader I laughed so hard reading that about the turkeys. Thanks so much for the laugh!

Ok and thanks spider...I just know i have that blue book here somewhere....darn...it was here this summer...guess im going to have to spend the rest of the day tearing the kitchen apart to find it

Ok everyone...how about some favorite Thanksgiving recipes to brighten everyones kitchens and get those tummies growling...and NO we cant all have just desserts all day!

How about some turkey recipes that use a deep fryer or some good old home tried and true cornbread dressing? Anyone ever have a recipe by Justin Wilson for sweet potato pecan pie from his first cookbook? (OK, just a little dessert)

I'm hoping for something different but not exotic for my thanksgiving table this year.

a model for what we arent going to go into here....but you know i have heard whispers that the person below me loves to do house work? can you imagine that???
