Wyndhy....the crab dip sounds lovely. I may try to substitute shrimp for crab....that way I won't have to go shopping....and try it for Thanksgiving! Thanks. :)
|
Both of those recipes look delicious wyndhy! We're going to my mother's for Thanksgiving and she makes the best peanut butter fudge. I might try your crab dip and take it along this year.
I like everything--especially sweet potato or pumpkin dishes. I take that back, I don't really like everything, green bean casserole grosses me out so mom never makes it lol |
i'll bet the shrimp would be very tasty, osuche...go for it.

Ooopsie, I just went back and read the first post. I have some pretty interesting recipes, some of them are German (as my mother’s parents were German speaking krauts :D) some of them are traditional southern cooking. Yum. Here are a few.
Beerenkompotte (Berry Compotes) Wash 1 quart blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or any combination of berries. (Berries are rather hard to find around Thanksgiving , but if you have them frozen or buy frozen ones this works okay too, just thaw them first) Prepare sugar syrup by boiling 1 cup water and ½ cup sugar. Place berries in a bowl and cover with boiling syrup. Fruit can be flavored with white wine, brandy, or any fruit liquors. Chill and serve. Bratwurst in Ale (we have this at moms house a lot, but we almost always have it at thanksgiving because everyone likes it so much) 4 pairs Bratwurst (about 1 ½ lbs) Boiling water to cover 2 tablespoons butter 1 small bay leaf 2 to 3 cups ale or light beer 1 tablespoon butter 1 heaping tablespoon minced onion 1 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper Prick bratwurst on all sides with a fork. Place in a large skillet and add enough boiling water to cover. Cover skillet and simmer 5 minutes. Drain off water. Add 2 tablespoons butter to skillet and brown wurst quicky on all sides. Add bay leave and enough ale to cover sausages. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes. Remove cover and let ale boil rapidly until it is reduced by almost half. Reduce heat and simmer. Melt butter in a small skillet and saute minced onion until golden brown. Blend in flour and saute slowly until mixture is the color of cocoa. Add to the simmering ale and stir in until blended and thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cornbread (I was amazed that our neighbors [northerners] had never had corn bread lol…Apparently up north people don’t eat cornbread, but it’s a southern staple and one of my favorites) 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal 2 eggs beaten 2 cups buttermilk 2 Tablespoons bacon drippings, melted, or veg. oil Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease 9-inch skillet with about 2 tablespoon of shortening or oil (Use bacon drippings instead if available). Leave oil in bottom of pan... Place pan in oven to heat .... Combine cornmeal, 2 eggs, buttermilk, and the melted bacon drippings. Mix well. Pour into hot skillet. Batter will sizzle. Bake at 450 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Another variation on cornbread is Cracklin’ Bread (a personal favorite): 1/4 cup butter or margarine 2 cups self-rising cornmeal 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 1/2 cups buttermilk 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup cracklings* Place butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, and heat in a 425 degree oven 4 minutes. Combine cornmeal and flour in a large bowl; make a well in the center of the mixture. Stir together eggs, buttermilk and cracklings; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Pour over melted butter in hot skillet. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. 1 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon can be substituted for cracklings. |
Wow!! Thanks all! All of these sound soooooo good!
I had to laugh...I was saying outloud as I was reading ohhhhhhhhhh bratwurst and ale.. yum.... Cobalt said what???? and I said bratwurst and ale... he thought I said bratwurst and ANAL!!!!!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
My family always celebrated the holidays with a Swedish meal. I didn't have turkey for thanksgiving until I was 17. LOL
Here are a couple things that we had every Thanksgiving and Christmas. SKORPOR 1 1/2 c. sugar 1/2 c shortening (or 1 stick margarine) 3 c. flour 1 c. chopped nuts (optional) 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 c. buttermilk 1 egg mix as for cake and bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. cut into strips and dry in slow oven, 300 degrees. bake one side then turn over. SWEDISH MEATBALLS 1 c. fine bread crumbs 1/3 c. milk 1/4 c. minced onion 1 lb. ground beef 1 egg slightly beaten 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 2 T. oleo 2 tsp. flour 1 c. hot water 1/2 c. milk 1/2 c. cream Soak bread crumbs in 1/3 cup milk; add onion, meat, eggs and seasonings. Mix thoroughly. Shape in 1 inch balls. Saute in oleo in skillet until lightly browned on all sides. Remove meat. Add flour to skillet; blend. Add 1 boullion cube, 1/2 c. milk; add cream. Cook and stir over medium heat until sauce thickens. Add meatballs; cover and simmer 15 minutes. OSTKAKA (milk curd pudding) 2 gal. sweet raw milk 3/4 c. flour 1 rennet tablet dissolved in 2 T. lukewarm water 4 eggs 1 c. sugar 3 c. cream (may use 2 pt. half and half and 1/2 pt. whipping cream) pinch of salt 1 tsp. vanilla Heat the milk to lukewarm; stir constantly. Sift in the flour; stir constantly. Stir in the dissolved rennet. Keep stirring until it begins to thicken, then set aside. Beat the eggs until light; add sugar and cream. Add salt and flavoring. Strain the milk and flour mixture. (The milk will form curds. After most of the liquid has been taken from the curds by dipping, thoroughly drain the curds in a fine colander.) Stir the curds into the egg mixture. Bake in a slow oven 350 degrees an hour or less (until lightly browned and a straw comes out clean). Top with whipped cream and jam or fruit compote (it's traditionally topped with lingon berries, though they are hard to find in the U.S). |

LOL....bratwurst and anal sounds okay too |
Diffently have to get a printer up and running. These are so great!!
Chey is that a man's version of selective hearing!!! LOL. We do turkey, mashed potatoes, sometimes sweet potatoes, the famous greenbean casserole, and grandma's green stuff( pistachio pudding with either marshmello's or pinneapple in it) for some reason my sis's kids can't grasp the fact of what grandma's green stuff is, they just want to know if she is bringing it. That crab dip sounds great, thinking I might have to make that and take it. Thanks everyone!! |
LMAO - I had to laugh out loud when I saw your post, soda, cause my grandma makes "green stuff" too.... lol. I never cared what it was either, it was always just so good.
|
I don't know who makes that stuff but I want the recipe...I also had an aunt who made the "pink stuff" and it was basically the same thing but it had cherry pie filling in it. *droolz*
|
That's funny FallenAngel. Do you know what was in it? My mom's is just the instant pudding with either or both pinneapple and marshmello's, sometimes she'll even whip in some cool whip.
Galatea what recipe you looking for? ..Your Aunt's "pink stuff" sounds yummy! BTW does anyone have a recipe for meatballs made with grape jelly?? |
Quote:
unfortunately no but i've had 'em and they are ROCKET! i'll cut and paste it, too if anyone *has* got one. |
LOL!!!
Green Stuff = Pistacio Fluff is what we call it... 1 box instant pistacio pudding 1 small can minced pineapple drained 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (dry roasted) 1 cup minature marshmallows 1 large size container of Cool Whip (sorry don't know the size - just know which one to grab) Put thawed cool whip in large bowl. Mix pistacio pudding into cool whip and stir until well blended Fold in following ingredients - sunflower seeds, pineapple and marshmallows. What is neat about this is once mixed it will fit back into the cool whip container. I usually put it back into the container and put in fridge so all ingredients are "married" overnight. Then I will "fluff" it up and put it into a bowl to serve. ________________________________ Pink Stuff = pink fluff or cherry fluff 1 large container of coolwhip 1 pgk of cherry jello 1 cup minature marshmallows 1 sm. jar of marichino cherries, drained, stemmed and cut in half. Mix the jello and coolwhip together and fold in cherries and marshmallows. (If you are using cherry pie filling eliminate the cherry jello and marichino cherries.) ____________________________ Another variation on these is one that my family just loves....it is very rich and sweet. 1 large container of Cool Whip 1 pkg of instant cheesecake pudding 1/2 cup of toffee bits (found by the chocolate chips in the baking isle) Mix cool whip and cheesecake pudding together fold in toffee bits Put back into container and refrigerate overnight. To serve, put in bowl (or keep in container - who cares??? LOL ) |
Meatballs
1 small bottle ketchup (or chilli sauce) 1 jar grape jelly 1 cup raisins 1 package premade meatballs Dump in a crock pot...can substitute tiny sausages instead of meatballs. :D |
broccoli salad
2 heads of broccoli trimmed into bite size pieces ( I do not use the stalks) 1 cup raw or unsalted sunflower seeds 4-6 ounces of cheddar cheese diced 1/4 cup bacon crumbles ( I buy them in a pouch, those have less fat) 2-4 stalks green onions Mix and let sit over night 1 cup mayo 1/3 cup vinegar ( I use cider for this) 3 T. sugar Make dressing and pour over mixture. Refrigerate overnight. I am horrible. I will eat this and nothing else for days :p |
