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. :)

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
