All the Wonderful Sides {Call for Recipes}

click on the photos, above, to go to the original recipe posts

Thanksgiving - and other holiday -  dinners are about spending time with loved ones over good food washed down with good wine. Well, that's what it's about at my house. Though I serve a main dish, not usually a turkey, these feasts are all about the side dishes. I could eat an entire dinner of sides. And I try to dazzle my guests with some delicious bites.

I'd love to hear from you. What do you serve with your Thanksgiving - or other holiday - dinners? Are you traditional or not? Favorite stuffing recipe? Best appetizer?

Below are few of my personal favorites. Click on the recipe title to go to the original recipe post.

Link up your favorites. I'll categorize them (Soups, Salads, Appetizers, etc.) and post a round-up by November 11th.

    Not a link, but a straight up recipe.
    Gulliver's Corn

    2 bags (16 oz each) frozen white kernel corn (defrosted). (I like to use one bag of white kernel corn and one of yellow.)
    1 1/2 cups whipping cream.
    2 tsp salt
    1 tsp sugar
    3 tbsp flour mixed with 3 tbsp melted butter or margarine
    1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Butter an ovenproof baking dish. (I like to use those disposable foil pans since I'm generally bringing the dish to someone else's house.) Set aside.
    Sprinkle 2-3 tbsp parmesan over the butter, tilting the pan to distribute the cheese.
    Bring the whipping cream to a boil. Reduce the heat and add corn. Simmer for 5 minutes.
    Stir in salt and sugar.
    Make a paste out of the butter and flour, and stir into the corn and cook until the mixture boils and thickens.
    Turn corn into oven proof dish, sprinkle with cheese and dot with butter.
    Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown.
    (Note that this dish can be refrigerated for up to 4 days before baking.)

    This sounds like a really fun link up Camilla. I cant wait to see how it turns out. I've linked up my recipe for Eggplant slices, Bean and Spinach Bake and Smokey Potato Salad. :)

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
