From Lucia Faust's Kitchen:
Sour Cream Coffee Cake - (a family favorite for morning of Thanksgiving or Christmas morn--THAT'S ALL WE EAT) This is good especially if you have overnight guests, to make Wed morning...
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon. vanilla
2 Cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
1 cup sour cream
Topping:
1/3 cup chopped nuts (prefer pecans)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon
Cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla. Add dry ingredients and sour cream. Pour half of the batter in a Bundt pan, sprinkle half of the nut mixture. Add remaining batter, sprinkle remaining nut mix. Bake at 350 for 45 min. Let cool til just warm. Invert bundt and sprinkle w/ powder sugar. Great treat.
Kay's (Lucia's Mom) favorite sweet potatoes
8 Sweet Potatoes, good size, pare & sliced lengthwise - about 1- 1/2 inch thick.
1 1/2 sticks butter (yes, 1 1/2 cups!)
1 Cup Brown Sugar
!/2 Cup Orange Juice
1 Tablesppon Honey
1 teaspoon orange rind, grated
Brown potatoes in frying pan w/ butter - (med. heat being careful not to burn) After browning a few at a time, place potatoes in flat casserole dish ( 9x13). Next in the fry pan w/ the remaining melted butter add sugar, juice, honey, & rind. Simmer while stirring occassionally. The orange sauce will become somewhat thick. Pour over potatoes. Bake 400 or 425 for 30 min. covered w/ foil, then additional 20 min. uncovered. This is a very nice dish.
Hints from Lucia:
Opps!! I forgot to add a couple websites I frequent often: And I do digital recipe folders in each site.
http://allrecipes.com they also have a good thanksgiving section
http://kraftfoods.com free to sign up, and get a good quarterly magazine w/ great coupons. I like these recipes because of few ingredients & often include kraft dressings or cheeses, etc.
http://kroger.com/holidays how could I leave this out...
Have a great holiday everyone ;)
From Laurie's Kitchen,
but the recipe her Mom made everyone's favorite:
(This just in - Mom read this and said that the recipe actually came from Deanne Hensley! That's right! Nancy Hensley's mom! Here's my mom's note: fyi the brocolli recipe first came from Deanie Hensley. We were having Thanksgiving with them I think in 1974 so............credit where credit due. Nice to know that Karo has discovered our recipe for the pecan pie. Actually Louanne Ellison gave that to me probably 50 years ago and it could have come from Karo.
Broccoli - Rice Casserole
1 cup rice (Mom uses 1 cooked cup, I prefer one cup, cooked!)
In a skillet, mix:
1 3/4 stick margarine (I use a good bit less)
1 chopped onion
2 pkgs frozen chopped broccoli (Mom's recipe refers to 2 small boxes - I just eyeball amount I want out of frozen bag.) Don't use direction on pkg, don't add water.
Cook until broccol is tender, add 1 chicken bouillon cube, undiluted
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8oz pkg velvetta cheese
cook until cheese melts
Remove from heat and fold in rice. Top with onion rings.
This can be made ahead and put in the oven to heat through. I don't know how to make this without eating way too much before it's served! So make the day before so you'll have room for dinner!
Pecan Pie
You may remember my mom is from Alabama. There's nothing like a good Southern Pecan Pie.
3 eggs
1/3 cup Brown Sugar
1/3 cup White Sugar
1/2 tsp salt (I leave out)
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup white Karo syrup (there are 2 cups in a bottle of Karo, great for dbl)
1 cup pecans
Mix sugars, add melted butter, salt, and syrup. Then add beaten eggs. Then add nuts. Pour into prepared, unbaked crust. Bake 375 degrees for 40-50 minutes. I have better luck if I turn the heat down a bit and protect the crust with foil or a pie ring. This recipe makes one pie.
Goodies from Carolyn's Kitchen:
Apple Crisp
4 c. sliced tart apples ¾ tsp. Cinnamon
¾ c. brown sugar ¾ tsp. Nutmeg
½ c. flour 1/3 c. nuts (chopped pecans)
½ c. oats 1/3 c. margarine, softened
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange apples in greased square pan 8 x 8 x 2 inches. Mix remaining ingredients; sprinkle over apples. Bake until topping is golden brown and apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Great warm with ice cream!
Can substitute other fruits such as cherries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches! Enjoy! Easy

From the kitchen of Kristine Bigelow:
Here's a few of our favorite recipes
Frozen Fruit Salad - This comes from Jeff's family traditions but quickly was adopted by my side of the family as well. We serve it with the holiday dinner but is also sweet enough to use as a dessert.
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups cool whip
11/2 cups of combination pineapple chunks and maraschino cherries (both diced to small pieces)
1/2 cup dates-chopped
1/2 cup nuts-chopped
Blend cream cheese and maple syrup thoroughly. Add diced fruit, dates and nuts. Add whipped cream last. Place in a loaf pan and freeze. This works best if you mix by hand instead of using mixer. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving to make it easier to slice.
Scotcharoos
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups rice krispies
6 oz butterscotch chips
6 oz chocolate chips
Heat syrup and peanut butter in a large pot. Stir in the cereal. Press into 9X11 buttered pan. Mix and melt chips. Pour on top. Refrigerate to set chocolate. Remove from refrigerator one hour before cutting.
Mushroom Barley Soup - This one isn't a holiday recipe but just a soup we really like that is easy to make.
1 stick butter
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 green onion, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup flour
3 cups water
2 cups milk

1tsp dried or 1 Tbsp fresh parsley
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
11/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Add remaining ingredients. Bring to boil over med-high heat stirring frequently. Reduce to simmer 15-20 minutes.
