There's no substitute for potato filling made with mashed potatoes, day-old bread, onions, eggs and salt and pepper. I look forward to it all year!

What is potato filling - I read the ingredients, but...

I don't understand what it is. What do you stuff the filling in?

I had to find out about potato filling, - going to try it next week

Everyone tweaks it a little their own way. I don't always use the celery and sometimes my mom adds chopped green peppers. But they're all good!

Any good recipes for sweet potato pie that use the canned ones? I thought the recipe was on the can, but found out it is not there anymore, or maybe it never was. Pretty much the same as pumpkin I think, but not sure. Do you use evaporated or sweet condensed milk. thanks everyone. I find a lot of good posts on this forum. ...

I was watching a cooking program on publlic TV and found out how to make the Perfect baked potato. I tried it, and it IS perfect. All you do is preheat the oven for as high as it goes - I use 540. Wash the potato and cook it for 1 hour. Do not prick, oil, or wrap in foil! The skin is crunchy, and the middle soft and creamy. Great if you want to scoop out the middle for twice-baked recipes, but I like it with browned melted butter, salt, and pepper. ...

I am thankful that during these hard times we were wise enough to elect a steady hand at the wheel. I am optimistic that things will get better in the coming year.

I know it's a little early but i'm a planner. What do you usually do at Thanksgiving? This will be new for me as it is now just me and my 10-y/o son. In the past he'd usually go hunting with his dad and I'd cook/bake all day. They'd come home with any "wayward" buddies for dinner. My parents live 4 hours away and I'm not really too keen on just sitting around staring at eachother or the TV (as what happens with any other visit). Any id ...

I know it's a month away but can you all share with me your "normal" plans for Thanksgiving? My parents live too far away so it will be just me and my 11 year old son by ourselves this year. I want to make it special since this will also be his first Thanksgiving without his dad but cooking a huge turkey and the works seems like it will be a waste of food. Suggestions/ideas? ...

Our OKC homeless shelter has an adjunct service to help take care of pets of homeless people. I frequently donate to that. While the homeless people get their Thanksgiving meal, they need people to volunteer taking care of the pets, feeding them, playing with them, etc. I'm not a people person. I will volunteer for this. ...

On Thanksgiving I cooked for my cats, then worked and ran out of work after 4 hours and watched TV and took PTO. We got together the day after and I spent the day with my sister's family. I can't believe how big my great-great-nieces and nephews are getting. The oldest is 4, the youngest is just under 7 months. I have a hard time believing how grown up everybody is and realizing we (my sister and I) aren't even the old ones anymore, the kids ...

I know we often disagree on this board, but I hope that everyone -- liberal, conservative or in between -- has a wonderful, safe and happy Thanksgiving. If you're spending it with your relatives (as you might do every year and sometimes dread doing so), try to look at them in a new light and be grateful you still have your family. If you have no family, cook a meal and invite a neighbor or someone who also has no family to share your meal with you. It might wind up being your best Tha ...

The holidays can be very stressful and depressing. God bless those who don't have a warm meal today. God bless those who don't have a place to stay. God bless those who don't have family to be with today. God bless people who are depressed and stressed out because today isn't turning out they way they planned. It is my prayer that all who read this can spread this message of love and peace so no one feels alone or bad today. Today, I am th ...

All these recipes sound great - but I can't eat them. I have to (want to) get my weight down - haven't baked anything since July, food diary, all that jazz. So now the holidays are rolling around - I went and got a small turkey, brussel sprouts (I love brussel sprouts), one sweet potato, an avocado, celery, I already have kale in the house. Also nonfat yogurt (yes, I took the plunge from lowfat to nonfat yogurt and skim milk from 2%). Organic "only peanuts" peanut butter. Oliv ...

I can see that people in the medical field are necessary, but I think retail people should not be forced to work on Thanksgiving to increase the big store profits. Years ago, we had a huge conflict here and eventually voted on a city ordinance allowing stores to remain open on Sunday. At that time, I thought it was a good idea because I had to work Saturdays and needed the time to take care of business. I think this camping outside of the stores and people actually getting hu ...
