[antnee]

Okay we all have that special recipe we like to make for Thanksgiving. Post your favorite recipe
or dish you like to make for Thanksgiving. Over the next few weeks I will try to post some recipe favorites of mine. If you dont ahve a recipe give us your favorite dish and maybe we can find one for ya. As a former chef I have mad soem very plain and some very exotic dishes. But as a chef I rarely follow recipes and just use a pinch of this and a dash of that. One of my favorites is a chestnut stuffing. Or a wild Rice side dish and a pumpkin cheesecake

What are your favorites

I'm in charge of dessert. I'm going to be trying (for the first time) to make an applesauce cake with maple frosting. I'll post the recipe if anyone's interested. It's a good one for family members who have food allergies as it is milk free, soy free, & egg free.

I'm trying to decide what to have for Thanksgiving this year.

We aren't sure if we want to have a traditional meal or not. It will only be 5 of us so I'm thinking I want to do something a little more elegant (ala martha stewart).

I would love some suggestions
