Since we're in Florida and it's the day before Thanksgiving I thought it would be fun to have a cook-out and offer Thanksgiving-themed condiments.
For the main dishes we will have hotdogs, turkey sausages, hamburgers, and chicken legs.
So far, for the condiments I've settled on cranberry mustard and French's French Fried Onions. But now I'm stuck. Does anyone have any more suggestions?
We all know officers of Salvation Army must get pretty busy this time of year. So how do they stay ahead of the game? By eating frozen pizza. Or so this review would imply.
Enjoy this light hearted review of Totino's Frozen Pizza from officers Emily and Matt. It's their gift to fellow officers this holiday season, but maybe they can teach all of us something.
In the past we've usually made our own pizza, mostly due to economy, not taste. Yes, it's better than delivery pizza, but not as good as a nice pizza parlor. But it sure is cheaper.
That is, until I came across Papa Murphy's. I finally tried it for the first time the other week and, for a delivery-style pizza, it was pretty darn good.
As a busy, working mom of 2 little kids I don't really have the time or energy to make pizza and clean up the mess. Throw in $3-4 for a bag of shredded cheese (yes, I don't use fresh mozzarella) and another $2-3 for yummy pepperoni and it doesn't even seem economical anymore.
But I do love my homemade sausage and my son likes olives, although the rest of us don't.
So, has anyone starting buying Papa Murphy's for the easy crust and adding other ingredients when you get home? If so, what's your favorite combination?
As a vegan, what food/cooking related gifts do you most hope to receive for Christmas or Hanukkah?
Do you have a vegan you're buying food/cooking related gifts for? What are you buying?
Okay, the folks over at Slice are way too serious, so I'm cross posting here. I've added quotation marks around "pizza" and "crust" to keep the visiting Slicers happy. Please keep in mind I'm attempting this for the challenge and will only serve to anyone if I can make something truly outstanding.

I'm part of a group that does regular potlucks and we have a huge range of dietary restrictions. Which brings me this huge challenge:
I want to successfully create a dairy-free, tomato-free, and nearly carb-free "pizza". We can't do real cheese, but can do most other veggies besides the tomato. We can do meat. But the toughest challenge is the crust. I can't use wheat (or gluten), rice, corn, soy or other grains. I can use minimal starchy roots. I can use cashews, almonds and other nuts (except peanuts). I can use eggs, but no coconut.
My goal is to develop a recipe by December 1st. I'm thinking probably meat and "pesto" (cheese-free) sauce for the topping. (And cheese for those that can?)
So far, options for making the "crust" involve: almond flour, potato flour, tapioca flour, chickpea flour, amaranth flour, quinoa flour.
And I've seen some recipes using cauliflower? Perhaps that?
So, people. What are your suggestions? Tips? We're bread lovers at my house so I'm rather inexperienced with gluten-free cooking. Let alone carb-free. (Although I was forced to eat low carb when pregnant.)
I will document everything and report on it once I'm finished.

I just moved from Indiana to Florida. I follow several recipe blogs, but when they have seafood recipes, it's usually for cold-water seafood, such as cod and salmon.
I'm looking for a food blogger with lots of seafood recipes for warm-water fish (grouper, snapper, trigger, etc). Now that I have access to fresh seafood I need to learn how to prepare it.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm also of the mind that brownies are too easy to make from a box. I even use cocoa in mine (the sacrelige) and everyone swears they're the best brownies ever.
