Pre-Thanksgiving Recipe Exchange

Does anyone have any special family recipe or dish they’d like to share? What dish means “Thanksgiving” to you?

Here’s one:
Butternut Squash, Sweet Potatoes, and Apples

1 medium butternut squash
3 or 4 medium sweet potatoes (about as big in diameter as the neck of the squash)
4 or 5 tart baking apples
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Roasted pecans (optional)

Peel squash; slice neck into 1/2″-thick slices. Split and seed bulb end and cut into pieces about as bug as the neck slices.
Peel sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2″-thick slices; boil in unsalted water for about 5 minutes. Remove from water and allow to cool.
Peel and core apples. Cut into 1/2″-thick slices

In 9×9 baking dish, arrange slices in rows, alternating between squash, sweet potatoes, and apples. You’ll probably get three rows, plus a space that can be filled with leftover pieces. Sprinkle brown sugar on top, dot with pats of butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, & pecans.

Bake at 350 for about 30 min or until squash & sweet potatoes are soft.

For those of you who are stumped over how to cook a turkey, here are some recipes so simple that kids can cook them.

    Field dress and skin one medium sized raccoon. Remove claws, head, and tail. Salt and pepper to taste and bake one hour at 350 degrees. Turn off oven and allow to cool for one half hour. Some add onions, carrots, and celery while baking. Yum, yum.

    Is that a freshly-shot raccoon or a pre-tenderized roadside one?

    Take any cake mix and follow instructions. Bake cake

    After cake is allowed to cool
    Get large mixing bowl. and Blender
    Cut cake into large chunks and crumble into small pieces in bowl
    Take the icing that you were going to cover the cake with and mix it into bowl with the cake, using blender.

    Next get out sheet pans and wax paper.
    using small mellon scoop portion out the cake/icing into small balls
    Place on wax paper on sheet pans and place in fridge to allow to cool

    Next get some chocolate of any kind and slowly melt it.
    Retrieve the chilled balls
    next dip the balls into the chocolate and place on another sheet pan then place in freezer to allow chocolate to harden.

    Pull out of freezer store in ziploc bag in fridge and enjoy….

    Cedar Plank Gaspergoo

    1/2″ cedar board
    1 large gaspergoo

    Place whole gaspergoo on cedar plank and cook very slowly over a semi-hot (250° F) barbecue pit. Cook for about 5 hours. Scrape the goo fish off the cedar plank and into the garbage then eat the plank.
