Reader Comments on Thanksgiving Side Dishes from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Tue, 22 May 2012 09:17:00 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes I would have voted for the stuffing, but I consider it part of the main course, not a side dish. I could actually have it for the main course and skip the turkey!

I don't blame them. My son, a chef, makes them with cream cheese, butter, a little cream and fresh rosemary.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:39:03 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes , Butternut Squash, then mashed potatoes, then stuffing, then cranberry sauce. Actually I want it all. It's the one day of the year when I refuse to consider the calories, percent fat or anything else. I have a little bit of everything including dessert and I'm set for the year.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:17:34 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes my favorite is a salad that has been in our family for 2 generations. we call it Christmas salad.. Made up of crushed cranberries,marshmallows,crushed pineapple,toasted pecans,and lots of whip cream...it is an overnight salad to die for... Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:02:40 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes I would have checked, "All of the above" if I could have. Along with gravy I have to have every thing listed there on my Holiday table. What's turkey without the cranberry sauce or stuffing? I love butternut squash with just butter, salt & pepper and mashed potatoes are a "given". And any kind of dessert is fine with me ... but I might not have room until later. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:37:05 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes Thanksgiving dinner without the cranberries is, I think, illegal. Or should be. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:03:17 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes I agree that stuffing, and gravy, are a part of the guest of honor, aka mr turkey. So that homemade cranberry sauce, that alerts your taste buds, is a must as a side. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:53:42 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes We actually call the mashed potatoes "whipees" because they are whipped at a high speed, adding finely minced onion, butter, grated cheese, milk, salt & pepper. As there are always leftovers, there are never, never any "whipees" leftover at all. This is the same recipe I use to top my Shepard's Pie. The "whipees" have become a family favorite. YUM!!

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:32:27 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/food/polls/thanksgiving-side-dishes Sweet potato souffle and cranberry sauce are it for my family.
