New Recipe this year: Cranberry-Apple Muffin Bread:

1 and 1/2 cup of unbleached flour
1 cup of old-fashioned oats
1 cup of granola (I prefer raisins-dates-almonds granola)
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (or more)
1/4 teaspoon of ginger (or more)
1/4 teaspoon of allspice (or more)
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg (or more)
A sprinkle of apple pie seasoning
1/4 teaspoon of iodized salt
1 to 1 and 1/2 cups of Splenda (sugar can be substituted here)
2 large eggs (I use egg substitute)
1 and 1/2 cups of low fat or non-fat milk
1/4 cup of Take Control or lite margarine
2-3 small apples (I prefer red or gala) shredded
1 pound of fresh or frozen cranberries

I mix all the wet ingredients together.
I add all the dry ingredients to the batter.
Stir in the shredded apples and whole cranberries.
Stir well.

Pour into 3 lightly greased standard pie pans.
Sprinkle apple pie spice on top of the batter.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
Cut into slices.
Serve with dinner.

Want to keep the turkey from sticking to the bottom of the roasting pan? Forget about those racks (which stick to the bird anyway). Just get thee to the store and buy a slab of ribs! Put them under the bird, and when the bird is done, you'll have a wonderful appetizer.

Thanks for this thread Carlo3b! I like this dessert too. It's pretty simple to make too.

*PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE*

2 cups flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
10 Tablespoons of softened butter
16 oz. pkg. cream cheese (softened)
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 cups Pumpkin
3 eggs lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups cream
4 teaspoons cinnamon
3 teaspoons allspice
3 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
extra chopped walnuts for topping too

In a small bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter to make a crumb mixture. Stir in the walnuts and press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin, eggs, cream, spices and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Pour mixture into crust. Sprinkle with walnuts and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until done. Cool and remove from pan. Serve with Cool Whip or Ice Cream. Then endulge and enjoy! :)

I LOVE your threads!

Here's a recipe for the BEST pecan pie ever (and I don't ususally like pecan pie!)

Jello Pudding Pecan Pie

1 pkg. Jello Vanilla Pudding (not instant)
1 c. corn syrup
¾ c. evaporated milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 c. chopped pecans
1 unbaked 8" pie shell

Blend pudding mix with corn syrup. Gradually add evaporated milk and egg, stirring to blend. Then add pecans. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 375 until top is firm and just begins to crack - about 40 min. Cool at least 3 hr.

Artichoke Dip

Now don't be put off at the name. This is a really good appetizer. You can serve it hot or cold, and can dip anything into it - chips, raw veggies, crackers...

1 Med. Onion, roughly chopped

1 Cup Mayonaise

1 Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 Can Artichoke Hearts in Water, roughly chopped

Put all ingredients into a blender on high until mixture is smooth. Pour into a 9" pie plate, and bake @350 deg. for 30 min. or until top is golden brown.

Okay, I'll add my recipe for pecan pie. I don't remember my recipe for the pie crust off the top of my head. Just keep everything really, really cold, cut in the shortening, mix with a little ice water only until it's all just mixed, then sprinkle the pea-sized dough into the bottom of a 9in fluted torte pan with a removable bottom and press it into a thin layer of crust. The rest of the pie dough can be rolled out into thin strips that can be used to build the side in overlapping layers, leaving an uneven edge around the top (it looks better when done than a knife-sharp edge).

Use the recipe for pecan pie on the Karo Syrup bottle with these changes: multiply everything but the pecans by 1.5 but subtract one third cup of the syrup and add one third cup of Coco Lopez; add a cup of shredded coconut; USE REAL BUTTER; use at least twice the number of pecans--DO NOT USE PECAN PIECES RIGHT OUT OF THE BAG OR IT'LL TASTE BITTER. Use only pecan halves. Go through each and every pecan half and examine it to make sure that it is not withered, black, or spotted. Make sure you get all the little pieces of shell and nut matrix out of the grooves. A new toothbrush is particularly effective for this.

Bake at 350F for about 40 minutes and then check it. At the end (it could take 50 minutes) only the very center should have a little give. Let it cool for a while and then remove it from the pan. Let it cool enough until you can put it into the freezer. EAT IT FROZEN. This way provides an evolving taste and texture that you'll miss if you heat it up. I once gave some to a researcher here and told her to do this. She told me later she had heated it. I gave her some more and told her to eat it frozen and see if it wasn't better that way. She told me that it was.

Oh Carlo..I recall last year my very Big Turkey was totally thawed about 4 or 5 days before Thanksgiving. I was horrified.

You calmed me down, and suggested to pack that "bad boy" in ice and assured me it would be alright to eat.

I did and It was, dear Carlo, the most JUICY and best Turkey we ever cooked. THANK YOU again, oh great one! sw

I was hoping you'd be back, been worried a little.

Bumping for later!

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. It's delicious but everyone really likes it because of the name.

PIG-LICKIN' GOOD CAKE (It's so good that you'd lick a pig to get some)

1 yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 small can mandarin oranges with juice

Mix all ingredients until well blended. Bake in greased and floured pan at 350 for 30 minutes.

Icing - 1 regular container Cool Whip
2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding
1 can crushed pineapple with juice

Mix well and put on cooled cake.

I also add some coconut to the icing, but it isn't necessary.

Those memories can never be taken away form you. Wish it were that many now still had traditional family holidays such as that.
