Thanksgiving gluttony-- confess yours here.

I have to stop reading this thread! I want to cook Thanksgiving dinner this weekend so I can eat it now! I cannot wait a couple of weeks!

I make a chocolate pie every Thanksgiving.

I make two. One for the group, one for me. 

Stuffing!  My husband makes the best stuffing.  I seriously want to stash some in Tupperware before we serve dinner, because I know it will all be gone.

 But I don't.

 But I want to.

I love some pie with my whipped cream.

I don;t let pretzel "salad" or watergate "salad"

We love gravy so much I make at least a quart of it to ensure enough for leftovers.

We do the pie drive by thibg too.

This exactly.

The thing I look forward to most after Thanksgiving is a turkey sandwich that includes stuffing and cranberry sauce.  I wish I could find a sandwich place around here that would make it.

I make double just so I'll have enough leftovers.

I also love crispy turkey skin--the parts where all the fat cooked off and just the translucent skin is left. I could make a meal of just turkey skin. 

Dh and I always roast at least a turkey breast every year so we'll have leftovers for turkey sandwiches--toasted white bread, homemade cherry cranberry sauce, mayo and turkey. We also use the leftover turkey for creamed turkey in little pie shells, turkey and dumplins, and make turkey stock. 

I also have to have lots of dressing--my family always just doctored up Pepperidge Farm cornbread dressing. I can eat just a huge bowl of dressing. 

We also love our mashed potatoes, green beans, and dh always wants "corn souffle" which is a sweet soft "cornbread" with lots of cheddar cheese and corn mixed into it. It's made of Jiffy cornbread mix, eggs, canned corn (I use frozen) and cheddar cheese. It's good left over. 

A family favourite of mine that dh now insists on is my mom's squash casserole. Ours is made with Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing mix, summer squash, onions, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup. It's so good even though it's made with cream of crap soup. We rarely use cream soups in cooking because of all the preservatives and MSG, so we splurge at Thanksgiving. 

Dh loves Pumpkin Pie, but I really like Kentucky Derby Pie. If we're having more than just the two of us, I'll make homemade versions of each--dh makes the homemade crusts for me. Sometimes instead of Derby pie, I make homemade chocolate merengue. I can eat one of those pies by myself, so I rarely make them.

The past few years my inlaws have catered their Christmas dinner from S&S cafeteria. The food is really good, except last year the turkey was a supermarket precooked heat and serve turkey. Thankfully they're not doing that anymore. The catering is a lot less work, and we can just cook the few dishes that are must haves. 

Pie for breakfast - oh, yeah!

He makes double.  It still all goes.  Last year he made triple and tried cooking one pan on the BBQ with the other turkey, but it burned. We only have one oven, so we are out of space.

I wonder if it could be cooked in a crock pot?

Whole Foods here makes this very sandwich!

There is never any leftover stuffing no matter how much Imake.

I once spent Thanksgiving with friends who had homemade Snickers Cheesecake and sent me home with multiple slices. It's entirely possible I ate them for breakfast. For the next three days. 

This pie is AMAZING!  I've been making it for years and it just never gets old!!

Here you go...enjoy.
