#1: Turkey (Of course!)
#2: Olive Oil & Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
#3: Pureed Pumpkin (yes, that’s it: not a pie… no sugar – just pureed pumpkin… 100% pumpkin – Libby’s rocks!)
#4: Steamed Leeks & Asparagus
#5: Broiled Green Beans (with olive oil, salt & pepper – roast til crispy and they taste like french fries!)

OMG–Zesty, is sticky date pudding the same as what the Brits call sticky toffee pudding?! I am obsessed wtih that lately.
Thanks for this post–if I decide to make a Thanksgiving dinner this year I’ll definitely be referring back to it!

I’m all about the turkey and stuffing on Thanksgiving (and Christmas, and Easter – we serve the big turkey dinner at all 3). And I’m so with you on the stuffing in your leftover turkey sammies. I’ll add some gravy (solid and cold, just slice a piece off) into my sandwich as well. I’m not ashamed.

Just thought I’d let you know that I plan on making those fig and maple brussels sprouts for our Thanksgiving meal–can’t wait to try ‘em!
My Thanksgiving favorites are my mom’s pumpkin pudding and green beans with almonds.

Pumpkin chiffon pie! I could do without everything else and be happy with only my pie.

That’s so fun! I want to know your favorite “not so traditional Christmas foods!” Out of all the foods in this post, the cranberry sauce and brussel sprouts look like my favorites. The sticky date pudding sounds fantastic too, but my favorite Thanksgiving dessert has to be pecan pie, followed by pumpkin pie. YUM!

Sweet potatoes. Any kind of sweet potatoes.

This year, we’re replacing sweet potato casserole with a sweet potato + banana dish. It sounds weird, but the two mashed together taste really good!

And I love our cranberry-jello-cool whip-sangria salad… yum!

Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be the same without sweet potatoes!
