My favorite recipes to make for Thanksgiving are a stuffing recipe and a sweet potato recipe from Cooking Light. I can make them at the same time the day before the meal, and then just pop them in the oven an hour before we eat (at the same temperature!)
The stuffing is particularly great--it starts with a Pepperidge Farm package so I don't have to chop up bread (for some reason I find the task particularly onerous), and then you add sauteed onions and celery for homemade flavor, some dried fruit for a sweet touch, and soak it all in chicken broth. Sweet, savory, and oh-so-tasty. I won't eat any other stuffing!
The sweet potatoes are a nice change from the marshmallow variety--they are a little sweet and a little spicy, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg and a sprinkling of toasted pecans.
I'll be making these on Saturday--on Sunday we'll be co-hosting a dinner for a few internationals. My co-host is making the turkey and the desserts, and we each think we got the easy part. That's why we work well together! :)
If you're looking for an update or a new addition to your holiday repertoire, give one of these a try!
