Tell Me Tuesday

Hosted by Canadian Mama

Last week, i asked you all to Tell Me what your favourite Thanksgiving dishes are?  The answers were all so yummy, i almost started cooking right away!  Quite a few of you were perfectly okay with just the turkey, stuffing, gravy, and rolls part;  while Green Bean Casserole,Whole Cranberry sauce, Brussel Sprouts in Butter Sauce and Pumpkin pie also made the list!

Someone suggested she might skip the whole Thanksgiving to-do since it was her birthday  (Totally understandable in my opinion).  While another said she'd be missing Ham and Turkey a LOT this year due to a new vegetarian lifestyle.   

One dish that did surprise me as a favourite (even as i searched for recipes) was Mac n' Cheese.  No one in my family has ever included this, nor the in-law family.  I am not even sure what surprised me about its addition to many menus?

And Stuffing & Lima Beans???  I NEED to hear more about that!~ (especially if i could substitute with Soybeans?)

Our menu this year was:

Turkey

*Apple & Sausage Stuffing (with pork) 

Homegrown Mashed Red Potatoes

Homegrown Carrots

Green Bean Casserole

Rosemary & Garlic Bread

Gravy

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Homemade Apple Pie (Thanks CHN!)

*A new recipe attempt this year!

Can we say, stuffed??

I even turned the turkey carcass into soup- phew!
Turkey cravings are now over, till at least Christmas.

Here's hoping your Thanksgiving weekend was as filling as mine- family AND food wise.  (It's okay USA, you'll have your turn soon.)

Tell Me Tuesday This Week:

I am looking for a way to clean all the wood furniture in my house, using only all-natural product (Furniture only and not floors).  Currently i am using Method's Wood For Good, which i like.  The problem:  I have so much wood (all cabinetry etc too) furniture that i can easily use half a bottle at a time!!  I need something more cost effective.

Do you have any good home-made wood cleaning &protecting concoctions you'd be willing to share?

I look forward to your suggestions!
