Thanksgiving/12 recipes

This is a quick, easy way to saute asparagus. The dish has a light flavor and makes a great accompaniment to Italian meals. I make this year-round, but we especially enjoy it at Thanksgiving

This turned out quite nicely, was surprised at how well it held together considering there was no egg to help bind the ingredients together. We made a vegetarian shallot gravy to go along with it. Nice herby flavor throughout.

With most 12 grain flour and whole wheat flour, these crepes come out super healthy with great nutty flavor. Fill these warm crepes with jam, fruits, or even savory filling such as sauteed vegetables or leftover cooked meat dishes. They are great at any time of the day, breakfast, lunch or supper.

Easy holiday cranberry sweet and sour meatballs for your slow cooker.

Fantastic recipe! This afternoon we made this roasted carrots with cumin and chili as a side dish with barbecue, and it was delicious with grilled chicken or burger. Will be making this tasty yet easy recipe again!

Wrapping your turkey in parchment while roasting yields a bird that is moist and delicious.

This one skillet side dish makes for quick and easy cleanup. The crunchy butter and maple toasted pecans dress up everyday green beans for a side worthy of a holiday feast.

A classic pumpkin pie spike with rum. Dark, rich and delicious.

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)

Classic old favorite holiday treat

Nancy Reagan's Pumpkin Pecan Pie recipe

I used whole milk and whole wheat flour, and the mini pumpkin loaves came out nicely fluffy, moist and very flavorful.

A tasty way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It includes leeks and mushrooms along with the turkey in a traditional flaky pastry.

In our extended family this version of pumpkin pie has earned the title!

This is always a hit! I tweaked it by using 1/2 c oil and 3/4 c orange juice and it turned out great. We made these into muffins and put them in gift bags for our out-of-town guests at our wedding and they all loved them. For muffins, we baked at 350 for 25 minutes and it made about 22 muffins per batch.
