Don’t Forget the Fixins’

Yesterday was unofficial Turkey Day at PRK. Meaning, we posted the names of some turkey farms and an additional link for information on where to buy a locally-raised Thanksgiving bird. 

Today, on the other hand, is unofficial Fixins’ Day. Who could neglect the all-important issue of side dishes? What would Thanksgiving Day be without the fixins’?! To this end, we’d like to reach out to you and have some fun. We’re asking that all you interested folk send word and provide a link to your best satellite dishes (the edible kind) for Thanksgiving Day. What have you made that’s great, or what will you be making? We want to pull them together for a pre-Turkey Day post. I have my own family favorite I’ll share–my mom’s outstanding Creamed Onions–and so will Jessica and Tom add theirs. In the meantime, we pass along this link for Cornbread-stuffed Acorn Squash from Two Blue Lemons, who followed up Jessica’s Turkey post from yesterday with a comment on vegetarian/vegan alternatives for Thanksgiving Day.

Please send in your recipes!! And look out for next Tuesday’s post!

(And, for those of you who live further a-field, the MDAR has put out this list by county of Massachusetts turkey farms which might be a helpful resource before you head out…)

  • Hi — love this blog! I attended a humane Thanksgiving discussion last Thursday given by the World Society for the Protection of Animals and they gave some really great tips for eating turkey, etc., humanely — thought the link may be of interest. http://www.wspa-usa.org/pages/3028_have_a_healthy_and_humane_thanksgiving_table.cfm

  • One of our favorite holiday sides is potato muffins. They are mashed sweet potatoes mixed with egg & breadcrumbs, sprinkled w cinnamon/sugar and baked in muffin tins. Also we are making baked beans in the fireplace.

  • LOL that you’re bored to tears with creamed onions and my family can’t wait for Thanksgiving to get them!! The recipe will be posted this Tuesday with the others. Let me know if you really need it before then.

  • My husband insists on creamed onions because his mother served them and after about 50 years I’m bored to tears with making them. But I can’t find the recipe for “my mom’s outstanding Creamed Onions” referred to above. How can I get it?

  • I actually just posted this one today: http://megan-deliciousdishings.blogspot.com/2009/11/potato-and-autumn-vegetable-hash.html

    And I’m planning a mini Thanksgiving dinner this weekend, so I should have more to share then.

    This is such a great idea!
