Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Spicy Sausage stuffing with Rye bread, dried fruit and tons of booze and veggies. Heaven!
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey
I won this last year and it was an AMAZING turkey. The crispy skin was really out of this world.
I'm skipping Thanksgiving this year (going to Chile instead), but I'd definitely go with the classic menu. I cannot say no to Brussel Sprouts and Bacon.
Cook the Book: 'How to Roast a Lamb'
Lamb Saratoga chops. Grilled and topped with mint gremolata. MMMMMMMMM mmmmm.

My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal...
Stuffing! I freaking love stuffing - with chunky bread, 3 kinds of spicy sausage, veggies, stock, cognac and brushed with butter before it's baked til crisp.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
This has got to be the BEST giveaway ever and a great idea for a foodie gift. Love it!
Oh, and Kalamata :)

Slowcooker down and smell the roses!! Dinner Tuesday October 20th
I've been working non-stop since yesterday morning, so it's lazy night tonight. Roasted chicken-apple sausages, roasted brussel sprouts and spaghetti squash with chimichurri.
It's lazy because the sausage and squash are leftovers :)
suggestions from those familiar with vegas.
Burger Bar at the Mandalay Bay - must get the jalapeno bacon!
Polenta appetizers?
Spicy Breakfast sausage with a touch of apricot jam and some grated Parmesan. Sounds weird, but my mom made these for my bridal shower and they were a HUGE hit.
Steamed or sauteed shrimp with pesto and pancetta (based off this recipe).
Some others: Bruschetta topping & shaved pecorino, olive tapenade, slices of steak with a bit of chimmichuri, pulled pork
If You Smelled Like Any Food...
Fiiine, no cinnamon! Second choice, lemons.
What Did You Eat Today?
7AM: steel cut oats with berries and peanut butter, coffee, babybel cheese
12:30: Whole Wheat Rigatoni with Broccoli, Andouille sausage and spinach
4pm: Plain Greek Yogurt w/homemade granola
8:30pm: chicken tacos, haagen dazs vanilla and granola frozen yogurt (my fave)
Office Lunches
I pack my husband's lunch and my own every day because, like you say, it's healthier and cheaper (and most often, tastier). Some of my go-to's:
- Soups (lentil, black bean and bacon, corn chowder, potato and beer, tomato and basil, etc.) w/half sandwiches (all kinds)
- Pasta with sauteed spicy sausage, broccoli and tomatoes (or squash this time of year)
- Fried Rice made with leftover rice and veggies
- Egg salad sandwiches (all different kinds - traditional, curried, etc.)
- Cold grain salads like orzo salad with peppers, chickpeas, red onion, tomato, feta and herb-y vinagrette
And usually plain Greek yogurt and a little granola for snack...
The Food Lab: Perfect Boiled Eggs
@dre2112 - I do the same thing. Works perfectly every time.
Can Pumpkin Beer Be Serious Beer?
I really love the Dogfish Punkin Ale. It's a great after-dinner beer, or nice snack-like sippin' beer. Not too sweet.
I'm bias though. I love Dogfish Head so very much (60 minute IPA! Aprihop! Black & Blue!)
Give some lovin' to your oven! Dinner Thursday 10/8?
My mom's leftover meatloaf (veal, lamb and beef with bacon on top!) with some roasted vegetables.
Chocolate chips for dessert...
What Did You Eat Today?
7 AM: steel cut oat w/peanut butter and blueberries stirred in, coffee, babybel cheese
12:45 PM: homemade white bean, kale and mini lamb meatball soup, selzter
3 PM: 2 clementines
8PM: Jerk Mahi burgers, spinach and apple salad
What's your favorite food when drunk?
Definitely pizza. Maybe a hot dog with spicy ketchup and tater tots :)
SE'er Food Blogs
I might as well just add mine, too :)
Dinner's Ready! Wednesday 10/7
Brussel Sprouts and Poached eggs it is :)
Dinner's Ready! Wednesday 10/7
I still have no idea. One of the following:
1. Jerk Mahi Sandiwches w/spinach, apple and blue cheese side salad
2. Roasted Brussel sprouts w/poached egg and parmesan
Help me decide!
Baked Doughnut Recipes?
Here's one from 101 Cookbooks. Never made it, but it looks heavenly.
What's hot in the pot? Dinner Tuesday Oct. 6th?
grilled skirt steak (marinated in beer), spaghetti squash with pistachio pesto
Holy Apples!
I love apples in:
- Salad with fennel, greens and a dijon vinaigrette
- Slaw with Napa cabbage and a rice wine/toasted sesame oil vinaigrette
- Apple crumble!
- Garam Masala apple sauce (yum)
- 101cookbook's curried egg salad with apples (I know! I know! Sounds nasty, but I swear it's awesome)
- Pork and Apple Pot Pie
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
I love the fresh and fresh tasting cranberry and orange relish. Yum.

Simple mashed potatoes
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Green bean casserole, it's not really special but we only have it twice a year. I guess that's what makes it special.

My favorite Thanksgiving side is stuffing with gravy.

Sausage and cornbread stuffing. Yum!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Fried Turkey, stuffing and gingersnap gravy in one bite. By far my favorite holiday as it is truly THE holiday for food lovers! I can't wait!!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Oyster stuffing. Tough part, finding enough people who aren't oyster-phobic...
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Gotta go with roasted garlic mashed potatoes. I could eat it all.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
green bean casserole, from scratch of course!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My moms - potatoes, summer savory and crushed crackers, also includes tons of butter and a few onions - I miss stuffing since it started killing people :(
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
I love homemade warm applesauce!! That and the apple pie are my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I don't like most of the other food including the turkeY!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'

i love potatoes of any kind...so...creamy, garlic-y mashed potatoes.

Love it when the cranberry sauce creeps into the dressing and mashed potatoes...deeelish...hope I win :)

Pumpkin bread like only my mother can make!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Thanksgiving wouldn't feel right without a chunky, moist dressing (or stuffing, though I'm taking Alton's advice to heart and keeping it out of my turkey this year). But I've also a particular fondness for all the orange Thanksgiving sides -- caramelized yam, pumpkin purees, fleshy marrows. Those Squash Half Moons with Butter, Sesame, and Salt sound like heaven.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Cornbread dressing!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
My mother's cornbread dressing, with a little giblet gravy, and a dollop of cranberry sauce.
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
I love stuffing/dressing of any kind, but it's tough to choose between that and a good green bean casserole. More, please!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
Green bean casserole for me, please !

Mmmmm...stuffing...I would have to agree with that!
