Recipes (mine):
Cranberry sauce: For one 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries, stir together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup water and 1 (scant) cup sugar in large pot. Bring to a boil and then pour in cranberries. Return to low boil for about 10 minutes or until almost all the berries have popped. Grate in fresh nutmeg and fresh cinnamon and throw in a pinch of allspice. Can be made a few days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
Brussels sprouts with bacon and shallots: No recipe, really. I peeled the outer layers of and cut in half as many sprouts as would fit in my glass roasting dish, about 32, tossed them in a bowl with olive oil, Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, put them all cut side down in the dish, scattered chopped thick cut bacon (4 pieces) and thinly sliced shallots (2 large) on top of that and roasted at 350 for about 35 minutes.
Deviled eggs: Put 6 eggs in small sauce pan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then turn the heat off and leave covered for 17 minutes. Remove cover and run under cold water to stop the cooking. I did this part twice; I made a dozen eggs total. Peel. Slice the eggs vertically, removing the yolks to a separate bowl as you work. Mix the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard and pickle juice, as desired. Spoon filling into a sandwich bag, then cut one corner off the bag to create a piping mechanism. Squeeze as much filling into each egg half as you wish.

R2D2!!!!! :) I love that you're just as much geek as I am. What an awesome dinner, hon. WOW. I love your buttah overload too. Color me impressed! xoxo
Thank you so much Jen! xo
That turkey looks so gorgeous with the crispy golden skin. And you already know how I feel about your pie ;-) Quite an impressive spread you had going there.
Ah, Thanksgiving. Wish we didn't have to wait another whole year...
Did you know they are adding the word "nom" to the dictionary?
Yes?
NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM. NOM.
Looks fabulous. Next year I'm coming to your house.
Everything looks scrumptious! The turkey looks super duper moist and I wish I had a bite of those taters right now! :-)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Amy, I know. Sad it's over!
Blythe, you know adorable Nico is more than welcome and you guys can, you know, tag along. ;)
NOM!
Thanks LS! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving as well.
Thanks for pointing me to the cranberry mustard recipe. That sounds ... really good right now.
Nice spread -- very impressed with how under control your kitchen looks through the process. I want some of that pie, which is odd for me because I'm not usually a big fan of pie or nuts in my dessert.
Thanks PG. It was so good, much to my surprise as well. And it just kept getting better the longer it sat.
Adam! How lovely to see you here on my page. :) Thank you. And I hope you visited Rebecca for the mustard.
What a feast! Your turkey turned out beautiful.
My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the stuffing. Yours looks freaking amazing!
I deleted (don't freak) to add this. I helped my mom with our Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. She had me helping with the dressing. Her recipie is from the 1960's Betty Crocker cookbook. I never knew this. The same one I got second hand because I remember it from growing up. Maybe someday mine will have a burner mark on the front cover too :)
Nice recipes! Very traditional menu for thanksgiving. I wanna try your Brussels sprouts recipe. :)
Great pictures. Try replacing orange juice with orange liqueur next time! :) That's what I do. Also when the berries start to pop I help them along a bit by mashing them against the sides of the pot.
Thanks Pam!
Jess, stuffing/dressing is everyone's favorite, isn't it? I eat it for breakfast the day after hehe. And I hope you use the heck outta that book!
Thanks retrosweets!
Thanks Dan! I tried mashing some, but still ended up with more chunks than I prefer.
Beautiful Thanksgiving. Two things that stood out were "Wow that's one huge turkey" and "Wow, that's a lot of butter in those potatoes mmmmmmmmmmmmmm." I like how you were prepared with dressing for future turkey sandwiches. Good planning!
Thanks Rachel! And yes, there was a butter overload, but once I mixed it all in, I pretended I didn't see it. ;)
Everything looks amazing, especially the pecan pie!! Time to have another Thanksgiving!
Thank you my dear! And I think we foodies should all do a second Thanksgiving in May. Why wait another year to have all this good stuff?
Oh my gosh that looks delish! Thank you for sharing your recipes!
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Oh my!! Just looking at the pictures made me even hungrier!
Your kitchen is spotless! I love it. On a slightly off topic note how do you clean your oven? I'm about to cook at 500 degrees and need to be immaculate or the smoke will be intense...don't tell me - you have a self cleaning ovening? *sigh*
Haha! No, I don't have a self-cleaning oven... in fact, my oven itself, inside, is rather dirty. It's the one dirty part of my kitchen. I still cook at 500 with no problems though, when I make pizza.
wow, a feast,i love all of that, they all look yummy
