i have no idea what iam bringing to mai cousins thanksgiving diner . can you help? what are you guys cooking for thanksgiving? any recipes?
a dessert is always a great thing to bring, since dinner will already be made. Here is my recipe for my apple crisp, its very Delicious!





preheat the oven to 350 degrees





8 apples


2陆 tablespoons of sugar


2陆 tablespoons of flour


1 tablespoon of cinnamon


1 tablespoon of nutmeg





take a 9x13 inch glass pan, peel and slice the apples scattering in the bottom of the greased pan. sprinkle the above ingredients into the sliced apples and mix.





now get a large mixing bowl and mix together:





1 cup of flour


1 cup brown sugar


1 cup of Quaker Oats


1陆 tablespoons of cinnamon





once you have those all mixed, get a cup of cold butter, slice it into the dry mixture, and use a fork to cut it in. by keeping the butter cold, it will clump up making your topping for your apples.





once your topping is made spread out over your apples and place into the oven for about 45 minutes, or until browning starts.











you can bring a bucket of french vanilla ice cream to serve with it as well!! what are you guys cooking for thanksgiving? any recipes?

Butternut Squash Risotto





14 1/2 ounces reduced sodium chicken broth defatted


4 cups water


1 teaspoon salt


2 slices bacon diced


1 onion chopped


1 cup arborio rice


1 small butternut squash peeled and diced --3 cups


1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese


1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper





In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth, water and salt to a simmer. Reduce heat and keep at a bare simmer. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or large deep saute pan, cook bacon over low heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel. Discard rendered fat. Return pan to heat, add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and squash; cook for 1 minute more.





Ladle 1 cup simmering broth into rice mixture and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 1 minute. Continue stirring and adding broth as it is absorbed, 1/2 cup at a time, until squash is tender and mixture is creamy. (Adjust heat as necessary to prevent scorching yet maintain a lively simmer.)

How about desert? you can make a pumpkin pie real easy and it doesn't cost much. If you buy Libby's pumpkin in a can, there's an excellent recipe on the back of the can for it...or ask your cousin what she would like for you to bring. She might have everything covered or really need for you to bring something specific.





Libby's pumpkin pie:





1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust


3/4 cup white sugar


1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon ground ginger


1/4 teaspoon ground cloves


2 eggs


1 (15 ounce) can LIBBY'S庐 100% Pure Pumpkin


1 (12 fluid ounce) can NESTLE庐 CARNATION庐 Evaporated Milk





DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 425 F.


Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.


Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)



I've been helping my friend put her Thanksgiving menu together for the past week. Here are all the recipes that I gathered for her. Maybe something here will work for you.

I was asked to bring a side dish to my folks house. I am cooking something very easy. Just boil a little more of the recommended amount of water for instant stuffing (about 1/4 cup more) with a 1 cup of dried cranberries inside. Then add the stuffing as directed on the box. Stir in 1/2 cup of toasted walnuts. It is so delicious.
