I'm making my mom's favorite stuffing recipe this week for my office - we're having a pot luck on Thursday.

Other favorites are my meatballs.

I'm not that great of a cook though. My mom did teach me, however, that if you can follow a recipe, you can make anything. So I try to stick to that.

My gramma is the same way. She can cook or bake the hell out of anything. When she bakes, she just measures using her hands. Never needs measuring cups or spoons. Wonder if I'll be that good someday!

I grew up with a mother who could bake, a father who could cook, and both parents a little overprotective of their kitchen.

It wasn't really until I got married that I learned to cook and bake.

I also learned to can. I make hot pepper jelly every year from the surplus in our garden. I've taken 3rd in 2008 and 2009, and 2nd prize this year at the State Fair. Someday, I'll get a Blue Ribbon and the $8 prize that goes with it.

This is my problem. I was raised with knowing what something should look or taste like.


BTW, my future sister-in-law makes stuffing with very fine ground meat & spinach in it. It's amazingly good!

Loaded Potato Soup, Lasagna and Hot Browns. A Hot Brown is turkey or ham on toast covered with homemade cheese sauce, tomatoes and bacon. It was made famous at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Ky.(my birthplace) My family requests Hot Browns every year after Thanksgiving.

Hot Browns are called Turkey Devonshires in Pittsburgh - yummy!

- The perfect roast beef
- Cheese puffs
- Lasagne
- Pumpkin pie
- Peanut butter pie

Ahhhh....I typed out the whole recipe for Gumbo and GC went down before I sent it.

I always get asked to bring appetizers because I make really good dips and spreads-crab dip, BLT dip, hoagie dip, artichoke, buffalo chicken....

My two favorite dishes that I get asked to cook/make are:
1. Caprese salad-sometimes I make it as a salad and sometimes as kabobs
2. Mexican Mac & Cheese-chorizo sausage and pepper jack cheese with tomatoes and basil

Now I am getting excited for Thanksgiving!

[IrishLake]

^^^ all of that sounds awesome! I love all of those dips, but have never had hoagie dip.

We ate tons of caprese salads this summer. We had a ton of tomato and fresh basil, and I was on a fresh mozz kick.

We always get asked to make fruit salad. We don't really do anything special, except for take extra time to pick out the fruit or leave it out to ripen if it's not quite ready, but we get asked every time what we did when we make it.
