PostHeaderIcon What are your family’s favorite Thanksgiving dishes & recipes?


I’m cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner for my small family - 3 people - and I’m trying to pick all our favorites. Mostly what I’m stuck on are the side-dishes & veggies. So far we’re planning:

Turkey (duh) gonna try to do the traditional oven-roasting thing …..
Dressing (in with the turkey I guess)
Corn & Green Bean Casserole
Stuffed Eggs
Potato Salad
Blueberry Cheesecake
Pecan Pie (w/vanilla icecream =)
(Sweet Potatoes w/ Marshmallows (maybe - seems like too many sweets ??)

Also if y’all have any recipes to share… I’ll get the ball rolling with:
Puppy Chow
Ingredients -
* 9 cups Chex® Cereal (either rice, wheat, chocolate or combine them)
* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup peanut butter
* 1/4 cup butter or margarine
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions -
1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
2. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, stir together chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Microwave uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.
3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Oops… yeah I forgot to list the cranberries but we’ll definitely have ‘em. Um, is stuffing the same as dressing? Mom always just called it "turkey & dressing".

Hey yeah - finger food tray - great idea!

I’m trying to decide between pecan or pumpkin pie.. leaning toward pecan ’cause I know that we want the blueberry cheesecake.

this year we are having:
turkey
stuffing
mashed potatoes
gravy
brussel sprouts
corn on the cob
dinner rolls
pumpkin pie
dutch apple pie

I would gladly share a recipe with you but all my recipes are in my other computer which isn’t working right. I will have to dig through all of my old papers to look for my Grandma’s dutch apple pie recipe.

PostHeaderIcon I want to powder coat my motorcycle tank black and then airbrush over it. Will this work?



Powder coat is pretty tough stuff, that’s why it is used for things like frames and rims. After it is powder coated you can paint over it if you are using the correct paint. Make sure you are using automotive grade paint, check TCP Global for supplies. They tend to have a large selection.
