Boil sweet potatoes (small to medium, the big ones are tough) in their jackets, until just done or under done. Rinse in cool water and peel. In a large casserole, spread soft butter all over (the more butter the merrier) and alternate cut up potatoes with brown sugar (I think you call it demara sugar) and little lumps of butter. Crumble a potato all over as a final step (that's my sisters trick) it makes the sauce tasty. Bake until bubbly brown. Some people insist on miniature marshmallows on top but not our family.

Wow that is a great menu! Don't forget dessert, though! Pumpkin cheesecake with pecan caramel galze.

It was good.  We went to my sisters house and had the whole family together.  Our Thanksgivings where my mother and father, both in their 80's, is numbered.\n\nThe little children are always the most fun. Newborns, toddlers and first graders. \n\nI made a seafood platter with big boiled shrimp, crap claws and oysters on the half shell for before dinner.  Drawn butter, fresh lemon and a hot horseradish cocktail sauce.\n\nWith all the traditional fitings we also had a "savory bread pudding" and oven roasted parsnips.  Here the recipe.\n\nIngredients\n4 Large eggs\n2 cups 1% milk\n1/2 tsp Hot sauce, such as Tabasco\n3/4 tsp Salt, divided\n1/4 tsp Freshly ground pepper, divided\n3 1/2 cups Cubed stale whole-wheat country or sandwich bread\n1 10-ounce Package frozen spinach\n1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil\n1 cup Chopped onion (1 medium)\n1 cup Chopped red bell pepper (1 small)\n4 cups Sliced mushrooms (12 ounces)\n1 clove Garlic, minced\n1 cup Grated Gruyere, Emmentaler or Manchego cheese (3 ounces), divided\nPreparation\n\n1. Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add milk, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; whisk until blended. Add bread and stir to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.\n\n\n2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-by-8-inch (or similar 8-cup) ceramic or glass baking dish with cooking spray. Put a kettle of water on to boil for the water bath.\n\n\n3. Cook spinach according to package directions. Drain, refresh with cold water and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.\n\n\n4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper; cook, stirring often, until tender and golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; stir to blend. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until any excess moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, 2 minutes.\n\n\n5. Add the mushroom mixture and 1/2 cup cheese to the egg mixture; stir until blended. Scrape into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese evenly over the top. Place the baking dish in a larger pan, put in the oven and pour boiling water into the larger pan to about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the pudding is set in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly; serve hot or warm.

I think it's great that your son is home and you'll all be together for Thanksgiving! Talk about something to be thankful for! I am planning to have Thanksgiving at home with my family. My boyfreind is going to cook because he's the best at it. I think he's planning to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, including mashed potatoes from scratch. My mom made a pumpkin and pecan pie for dessert. I guess my contribution will be cleaning up.

Here's what I'm serving:  homemade "turkey" roast made from Tofu.  Several recipes are available on the web (or you can buy tofurkery or unturkey (made from gluten), both of which are good).  Glazed brussel sprouts, roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, stuffing, mushroom gravey and maybe another dish if I have the energy.\n\nI disagree with the answer that you should cook turkey for your non-vegetarian friends.  Just tell them before hand that it's a vegetarian thanksgiving, and if they can't live without turkey, let them get it elsewhere.\n\nEnjoy!

So, sounds like teacher wants a recipe for a "fun Halloween" that appeals to all the senses .... so, sight (maybe scary decorations), sound (maybe scary noises), taste (sweet candy?), smell (the burning candle in the jack'o'lanterns, maybe), feel (maybe something like that silly game where you put your hand in a bowl of peeled grapes and someone tells you they are eyeballs!)\n\nI think what the teacher is looking for is just a "recipe" of different Halloween-y type things that you might assemble for a fun Halloween party, and describe different things at your party and how they would appeal to each sense.

I think that would be absolutely wonderful!  True spirit of the holiday!  More people should be like you.  If I was your neighbor, I would just be so flattered!  I was thinking about doing something like that for my neighbors too, but I was going to attempt making a jam.  I found a real easy recipe for the crock pot.

Pecan Pie is always good (and a winner too)!\n\nHave a lovely rest of the day.  Happy Early Thanksgiving.

Jewel and Dominick both sell pre-made turkey's, but you have to order them ahead to time.  Pumpkin pie is at any store or frozen, I like Baker's Square.  Cranberry comes in a can, applesauce in a jar.  The stuffing can be ordered with the turkey as can the mashed potatoes and gravey.  Get some dinner rolls and a bottle of wine.  There you are.

my favorite is. filet it and drop it in a zip-loc bag with some potato flakes (instant mashed potatoes, idahoan for example) a little salt and pepper. cook till golden in shortening or oil.

I'm Italian so we tweaked the traditional American Menu so here it is.................\nTURKEY (of course) now to make it interesting my mom de-bones her turkey & stuffs it with a more italian like stuffing of wild rice mushrooms & spinach. Its tender and delicious\n\nMASHED POTATOES this I make with roasted garlic & chives a must have\n\nSTUFFING this is more traditional not actually stuffed into the turkey. \n\nBROCCOLINNI which are a green italian vegetable, very good.\n\nGREEN BEANS another american tradition, but we put our own twist on it with garlic & olive oil, and best thing is these are fresh grown in our own garden!\n\nPASTA our table always has a pasta on it either with a sauce or in the form of a soup. This year we are making gnocci a very yummy potatoe based pasta with a roasted tomato sauce.\n\nCRANBERRY SALAD made with fresh cranberies, pineapple & nuts real good.\n\nSWEET POTATOES in the oven.\n\nPUMPKIN PIE, BLACK BOTTOM BANANA PIE, CHOCOLATE SILK PIE (something for everyone) tons of holiday cookies too!!\n\nCHESTNUTS after dinner & dessert we roast chestnuts and eat them this is a huge family tradition!\n\nThis is Thanksgiving Italian-American Style
