Thanksgiving...
Thanksgiving was fun and tiring!
I was up until a little ways after 4 am the night before Thanksgiving working on the food and getting things prepared. I had to make a big 9x13 pan of pumpkin pie that was square since I couldn't find any of the right dishes until all was said and done and it appeared from our rig?!
Having Thanksgiving at a friends house was very nice, to have that company and to have roaming space out of our small apt! The kids had a blast trying to terrorize the cooks while the guys played COD...Yay for us! But it turned out great.
The kids barely made it 5 min in the car before passing out and getting packed into the house!
We had:
Turkey
Hawaiian Ham
Homemade French Bread Stuffing
Yeast Rolls
Pumpkin Pie
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Green Bean Casserole
White Chicken Chili
Cookies
Fruit Salad
Quite a bit of food for 5 adults and 2 children! We had a feast!
Most of these recipes will be added to the FB site and on here in the coming days.
Have a wonderful long rest of the weekend Foodies!

Homemade Cranberry Sauce
2 pkgs fresh cranberries, if you had them frozen thats fine so were mine

Juice of 2 oranges, or very large tangerines
2-3 Tablespoons of sugar, to be used for extra sweetness if desired
Powdered sugar to make it look pretty, with occasional sweetness
In a large deep skillet or pot add in the ingredients except for the powdered sugar and the 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Slowly cook over medium/low heat until the cranberries burst and the sauce is thick, about 35-45 minutes. Puree', blend or press through a sieve.

Yeast Rolls
1 tablespoon of yeast
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons of melted butter
4-5 cups flour
In a large bowl pour in the hot water and the yeast, let it sit for 10 minutes. Add in the sugar, milk and melted butter mix well. Slowly add in the flour until it binds together and is a little sticky. Flour a flat surface lightly. Roll out and knead 6 times. Grease, spray or butter the inside of the large bowl and put a little on the ball of dough. Let rise for 1 hr, punch down the dough, lightly flour hands and grab small handfuls of the dough and work lightly with your hand to form a ball. Rub a small amount of oil on a cookie sheet and put the balls of dough on it about 2-3 inches apart. Cook at 350* for about 15 min, when they start to brown on the top, baste a little butter on the top just before done. Use to clean up those thanksgiving plates!

"Hawaiian" Chili
I got the idea to make my own Hawaiian Chili recipe when my friend Tiffany told me she made a Hawaiian chicken chili. So tonight I started to play around with it and found that it tastes pretty stinkin' good! Sweet and savory going down and burns after you swallow leaving a slight burning on the lips....oh so good! Neighbors are having a kick out of it too right now!
NOTE: if you are a believer that chili has no beans then double the beef and seasoning and minus the beans.
