I am an email subscriber and a dedicated page checker every day! lol I love your site, it’s made dinner at our home a lot more wholesome and affordable too!!! A Thanksgiving must have in my home is sweet-potato pie. Now we call it pie but the more I say that the more people say “hey! that’s not quite pie qualifying” haha It’s sweet potatoes (yams really) mashed up and I add some yummy ingredients to it. Then I bake it just to make it warm enough, add some tiny marshmallows (or big ones for fun) and when the marshmallows are browned from the broiler it’s done! My father would make it, and after he passed a few years back, i made sure to keep on with it 🙂

My must have Thanksgiving dish is my gramma’s “Northern Dressing.” We live in AL but we eat MO -born dressing (bread, not cornbread like most people in the south). My mom was born in MO and my gramma brought the recipe with her! I could live off of her dressing!

Must have Thanksgiving dish is pumpkin pie. We use my grandmother’s recipe which is sweet and custardy (no pie spice or cinnamon – just sugar and whipped egg whites which make it extra fluffy).
Christy says
Just subscribed – I love your site so subscribing should have already been a “no brainer.”

I would say pie, but specifically, chocolate silk pie made with lots of Cool Whip. Not very traditional, but I love it!
Melanie says
In 21 years of marriage I’ve never cooked a turkey! But it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without my husband’s turkey!!!

My must have Thanksgiving dish is mashed potatoes…with lots of turkey gravy. Yum!
Jamie says
I just discovered your website and immediately subscribed. I am looking forward to all of your updates.
Wanda says
My all-time favorite must-have dish at Thanksgiving dinner must be my mom’s turkey stuffing. It is always so moist and delicious. I wish mine would turn out half as good as hers! (I think it takes years of practice and tons of love to make!) Anyway, I am already subscribed to Eat At Home blog, via google reader, but I did subscribe again via email. I love your blog! I previously had a trial account at Plan to Eat and would so love to win a year’s subscription. I can’t afford to buy one at the moment because my husband is a full-time student and we still haven’t found a part time job for him, so little luxury purchases like a subscription to Plan to Eat are on the back burner for me for a bit. Anyway, great idea for a contest! Good luck everyone!

Wow… favorite thanksgiving dish… hmmm my Mom’s warm, melt in your mouth parkerhouse rolls and green bean casserole. Never served together though as my Mom serves thanksgiving dinner and she doesn’t make green bean casserole. So I just host a girlfriend Thanksgiving meal and get both at my house {cause my Mom makes the rolls for my meal LOL}.

My must-have food is green bean casserole! Last year I was due to have my baby within a few days of Thanksgiving, and I kept thinking that I would go into labor the day before and wouldn’t get to attend Thanksgiving dinner! lol. He ended up being born on the 14th, so I got my casserole.

Amber says
Hey! I LOVE your blog…I’ve been busy busy lately, and just NOW found out about this! AHHHH…Well, Since you asked, my favorite Thanksgiving Dinner dish, is actually a dessert. My mom’s Chocolate Pie. It’s unlike any other chocolate pie I’ve ever had. It’s more like a chocolate mousse pie. Its made with mostly butter, eggs, unsweetened chocolate and sugar. Its pure bliss, and delish. It’s now a tradition for me to make it to bring to Thanksgiving. Since my birthday is in April, my mom always asks what kind of cake, and I always tell her no cake, but pie!!! It’s like Thanksgiving in April, that’s how much I love this pie!!! I’ve been a follower for about a month now, I’ll double check to make sure I am a follower just in case because I’ve been wanting to subscribe to Plan to Eat, but haven’t had the time recently! Thanks for all that you do! LOVE your work and words. I’ve actually added a button to your blog on my blog side-panel!!! Have a wonderful Halloween weekend! Again, Thanks!!!

We love cranberry relish, for Thanksgiving and throughout the year. It goes great with turkey, on sandwiches, with chicken, on bagels. It’s great 🙂
