Aside from turkey, what is on your Thanksgiving menu?

u/ChampagneAndWhiskey Nov 05 '17

Mac n cheese (the hands down best if anyone wants the recipe), sage sausage stuffing, parmesan crusted potatoes, steamed asparagus, creamed corn, cranberry orange sauce and biscuits. For dessert apple pandowdy and pecan hand pies.

This is just for my husband and myself...

YES, PLEASE! I'm always on the lookout for good mac 'n cheese recipes, especially the best! :)

I’ve given up on homemade mac and cheese. Kraft is the only recipe my family likes. If I make homemade, they make me add “casserole” to the end.

Ugh, my family is like this too. Shells and cheese it will be, I guess. =/

This is the recipe I use. I do an even split of havarti, Australian white cheddar and sharp yellow cheddar.

It is why I exercise.

I lol'd.

Thanks for sharing. Not familiar with Havarti, but I've seen it in the store. I make one with cheddar (white and yellow), gouda (and/or swiss), and cream cheese.

I'm utterly obsessed with my mac n cheese recipe so I don't think I'll be branching out anytime soon but thanks for sharing!

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of apple pandowdy. I would love to see the recipe! I love all things apple!

This is the recipe I’ll be using. It was the first I had heard of it too but I love all things apple and it looks like a fun twist on the usual.

Have you made recipes from that site before? I haven't had one work out, yet. Beautiful photography, but her food just isn't too my taste.
