I don't like pumpkin pie,



I'm not sure, but I think that may be against the UKY rules that you agreed to when you signed up here.

I agree.  I'm not sure that Bmore_2_UK and I can be friends anymore.

Hahahahahahaha


I think I'm making this one:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/No-Bake-Pumpkin-Pie-I/Detail.aspx

It seemed to have a lot of good reviews, and few ingredients (my fav kind of recipe). I'll be using pumpkin pie spice instead of all the separate spices.


I agree!  Less ingredients makes me happy! :)


I agree Libby's recipe. 

I am going to try a pumpkin mousse and gingerbread trifle though.  Yum, I hope.


YUM FOR SURE!!!!


I don't like pumpkin pie, so I'm making this:

Hi all,

In preparing for Thanksgiving, I wanted to know if anyone has a good extra stuffing recipe - that is for the stuffing that doesn't go in "the bird".  In the States I admit I used to get the bags that were so easy to make, but Paxo just seems to make a little ball of stuffing.  Any recipes?

Also, does anyone know if you can get cranberry sauce here?

Lastly, I am making a pumpkin cheesecake and the recipe calls for gingersnaps.  Are these just the same as ginger cookies here?

Thanks!

ginger nuts= ginger snaps

Hope this helps, and your dinner works out ok.

Yes you can get cranberry sauce here now.

Here's a rough draft of how I make stuffing. I tend to wing it a lot in the kitchen so this is a guide only.

100-150g butter
1 onion coursely chopped
1 onion finely chooped
2-3 celery sticks chopped
2 good size carrots chopped
1-2 apple chopped
12 slices of stale bread (can toast light and grind in a processor)
2 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp sage
dash salt
dash of pepper

Optional
½ cup sausage
lemon juice to flavour
cranberries
raisins
banana - omit any lemon if you opt for banana

In a pan, melt butter then add onion, celery, carrots, and apple; cook, stirring  occasionally, until tender.
In large bowl, mix remaining items.
Add butter-onion mixture, mix well. I use my hands and get a good mix. If using banana, get your hands in there and mash it up with the mix

You can add some broth or water to moisten it, if dry

Put in a buttered casserole dish, cover with foil and bake for 35 – 40 minutes in the same oven as the turkey

or

Stuff the bird and cook

Let me know if you need clarification as I said I tend to wing it and have never written things down.

Bon Appétit

Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

Hmmm do I do anything or not...

I was originally gonna have a big feast for friends, but I'm studying for my exam and then I have a choral performance this weekend taking up all my Saturday.

So then I was just gonna make a pumpkin pie to bring into my co-workers on Thanksgiving, but we're scattered amongst the buildings because of our building works, so its a bit pointless.

And well now my oven is broken! 

So really just don't even know now...

I love pumpkin pie, I can (and have) eaten two pies by myself in one night, but I have to say these are so good, I can't decide which I like best.  My grandma makes them every year and I miss them!

I love pumpkin roll and I already made one this year.  The only problem I had was that the outside seemed a little too sticky to me.  It still tasted good though!

I've made pumpkin cupcakes twice this year, so far. Cake mix, oil, Libby's, cinnamon, nutmeg, 2 eggs. Yum scrum  ;D
