Happy Thanksgiving: Is That A Turkey On Your Head?

Well, I love dressing up as much as the next Elvis impersonator... I mean, "Tribute Artist"... so, I just might have to keep the Halloween spirit going by wearing this silly hat on Turkey Day.

It'll be kind of ironic, though, because I've decided ham will be on the menu. I bought a half a hog this fall and my freezer's bursting with pork. So. Very. THANKFUL.

When my nephew heard that smoky ham was going to stand in for the more traditional turkey, he didn't miss a beat before asking -- via Instant Messaging on Facebook, naturally -- "will you still make dressing?"

Of course! And sweet potatoes and tarted up green bean casserole, even cranberry chutney. All the usual suspects on the side. I'll be sure and don my new roasted turkey hat for the photos of our Thanksgiving table!

Thanksgiving Menu Planning: Side Dish Superstars?

There's still a few weeks to get those Thanksgiving ducks in a row. On most tables, roast turkey is front and center, the holiday main attraction. But what's in the supporting cast?

Mashed potatoes, dressing/stuffing, yams, something green, all smothered in gravy. How can we forget the cranberry sauce?

Next week, I'm invited to a pre-Thanksgiving potluck at All Recipes headquarters and I've been marinating on what to bring to the party. One of those old-school dishes from my childhood keeps popping into my internal brainstorming sessions: Green Bean Casserole.

Go ahead and groan. It's such a throwback, swimming in cream of mushroom soup and topped with canned crispy onions. It's a million miles from fancy, but it does taste awfully good.

Still, what about a made from scratch version? Maybe I'll even incorporate a few wild mushrooms and use stronger-flavored shallots as a stand-in for the crunchy onion factor. And fresh green beans instead of canned. All baked in my beautiful Le Creuset casserole pan. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I'm going to experiment the next couple days and would love any suggestions!
