Heres another one T... i think this might be what You're looking for!Chocolate Crackles Recipe
3 c flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (I used cinnamon instead)
1 1/2 c brown sugar
3/4 c butter or margarine
2 tbls water
2 c (12 oz) chocolate chips
2 eggs
1/2 c granulated sugar for rolling cookies in (optional)

Sift the flour, baking,soda, and salt(cinnamon). Set aside. In lrg saucepan, cook the butter, brn sugar and water over low heat. Stirring until the butter is melted. Add the chocolate chips, stirring until almost melted, turn off heat and stir until completely melted. Cool slightly (about 5 min). Transfer chocolate mixture into mixing bowl, add eggs and gradually add dry ingredients. Let sit about 10 minutes; roll into ball, roll in sugar, bake at 350°F for about 12-14 minutes. The tops will start to crack, and the cookie will be dry but not firm.

After you let the dough sit, it will be realllly soft, but it shouldn't be very sticky, just slighty sticky. It's hard to roll into a ball unless you roll it in sugar, because it's so soft.

This is an excellent alternative to a traditional pumpkin pie. The topping is optional and I usually leave it off.

PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE PIE
------------------------

8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. canned pumpkin
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. lemon peel, grated
1 tsp. orange peel, grated
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbsp. flour
9 inch graham cracker pie shell

Blend cream cheese and sugar. Stir in pumpkin, eggs, flour,
lemon peel, orange peel, and vanilla. Mix well; for best results use an
electric mixer. Pour into pie shell and bake at 350 degrees
for 35 minutes. When done, center of pie should be firm when
gently shaken.


TOPPING:

1 1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Blend sour cream and sugar. Add vanilla. Pour over pie and
return to oven for 10 more minutes at 350 degrees.

Me thinkst suh is a chocolate slut ! lol

Anyway, this stuff was a layer of rice krispies, then a layer of solid chocolate and then another layer of rice krispies. I remember baker's chocolate being used and yes there were eggs involved somehow. She also had to "make" a double boiler to do it.

Gizzard Gravy, the grossest sounding thing but ....

All those organs that come with the turkey, slice them up and fry them in a pan,and I mean FRY them. You don't need them tender or anything, don't even entertain the idea of leaving them in the gravy. You fry them until you got crusty stuff in the frying pan, you want that. Once you have that you can let whatever animals you have eat the gizzards.

Then you make gravy as usual. There will not be much in the way of yield if you want a strong flavor but there is one nice thing about it. Not everybody likes it. Those who do however will probably fight over it.

Also, I don't care that it's all carbs or that it is not traditional, deep fried perogis go with anything.

I do like the idea of sausage in the stuffing, I just don't know about some other things in there, like apples. Also I don't eat raisins. Never did try sausage in stuffing, I'll add that to my todo list.

Cheesecake is another thing that goes with anything, even if you have pumpkin pie. I'll see if I can get this recipe the olman uses, from like 1955. This is cheesecake for people who don't like cheesecake. Also my neighbor has a recipe for cheeseless cheesecake, good for the lactose intolerant who may be around. I had some a while back and it was quite good.

Sorry if I am breaking tradition too much here, but on Thankgiving we usually have prime rib. Just don't have much of a taste for turkey these days.

I wish the olman would let me show him how to use his infrared broiler. He wants to get the owner's manual, heck, I had one when I was twelve. It's simple, as long as it is preheated properly you can't hurt it. If you like stuff seared/browned you can (if need be) put it right in the flames of this thing. It's like having July in January, because it can do what a charcoal grill can do. Anyone ever use one ? Caloric stoves have them, at least the high end models. They are awesome, much as I hate to use that word. You can make a turkey taste like it was deep fried.

Well almost, I have had deep fried turkey, yes the whole thing. The Man of the house takes care of this out on the front porch with about $60 worth of oil and this vat with a burner that connects to a propane tank. It comes out excellent but there is one drawback, you cant stuff it.

Sorry folks if this seems a bit sidestepping of responsive, but I had tradition for a good part of my life and I am sick of it.

That's OK though, this is supposed to be a feast. You can make pizza if you want. Anything goes. In fact for the past three years I have been going to this Christmas party and I make pizza. That's my food contribution and they wouldn't have it any other way.

Keepem coming. I would like for something to catch my eye and try it. Just like the same ole turkey became bla here, so has the prime rib. Any ideas are welcome. I know some people who make goose or duck, if done right it is good.

No matter what you do, enjoy.

i'm laughing cause the imp asked me yesterday to make sure we have cranberry sauce when we do "late christmas" with him.  (he isnt coming till the 27th of december)  i asked "oh the sugarfree stuff i make?" 

"no, mumzii (he is being 15 and seeing if he can piss me off....it makes me laugh)...i mean the one you have me make.  the one that takes hours and hours to slave over and make just right in the cylinder shape, with the rings on it."  sarcastic lil beast.  he means the stuff in the can, that he likes to hear the slurping noise when you get the cranberry sauce out. 

i'm diabetic, so i have a sugarfree cranberry relish that i make.  damn easy stuff too.

2/3 cup water
2 c fesh or frozen cranberries
7 1/4 teaspoons equal measure, or 24 packets equal

in a medium saucepan, heat cranberries in the water till it *just* starts boiling.  cook the cranberries on medium heat on the stove for about 8-10 minutes.  the skins will pop open, stir occasionally so it doesnt stick/burn.

take the pan off the heat and mash the berries a bit, then let it cool.  add the sweetner then stir well.  (you can use splenda but sweet & low doesnt do as well in this recipe)  makes about 1 1/2 cups of cranberry relish.

you can serve this either warm or cold...i like making it the day before and letting it chill overnight.  it will also freeze well, and works with beef or pork as well as poultry.

you can also take this relish, mix it with a packet of dry onion soup mix, pour it over meat in the crockpot and cook on low for about 8 hours (works equally well with chicken or porkchops) and it ends up tasting like a BBQ sauce.  VERY good easy meal (you can also make this with a can of cranberry sauce instead of making your own).

Rum and butter (PIRATE) pudding
butter a stale sliced loaf, place in a deep dish and add a handful of sultanas, together with any dried fruit you have lying around and liberally dust with sugar.
Beat three or four eggs into a half a pint of milk until mixed and pour it over the bread, toss in a knob of butter and a few measure of really cheap rum (Why waste good stuff on a dessert?) or whisky or bourbon, but trust me, rum is best.
Dust the top with sugar, which will brown in the heat.
Put it in the oven on high for about half an hour until brown on top, then turn off the heat while letting it rest in the hot oven for another ten minutes or so.
serve warm with ice cream or cream or custard. or cold in slices with butter.

Alchoholic vegetarian fried rice.
melt butter in a pan, add mushrooms, cashew nuts, well chopped onions and whole cloves of peeled garlic to taste, fry for a few minutes then add some leftover wine and put on high heat to reduce and concentrate the taste.
In another pan get some water to a fast boil and lob in a bag of cheap basmati rice, stir the rice and turn the heat down to a simmer, then allow it eleven minutes stirring now and then, then drain and put back in the warm pan and cover so it can swell.
In a frying pan heat some frozen peas, and whole chopped salad onions then add a few beaten eggs under the grill until they puff up and go brown.
chop the egg up and stir it into the wine soaked mix, follow this with the rice, adding soy sauce to colour it and allowing the rice to also absorb the wine.
Heat the whole lot up and serve hot or cold.

Corned beef madness
peel and cut five pounds of potatoes and put in a large pan.
add salt and garlic powder and boil for half an hour or so until soft
give it five minutes more to make it really soft and drain.
put the potatoes back in the pan and add half a pound of butter, a pint of cream two tins of corned beef cut into slices  several rashers of cooked bacon chopped unto bits and a half pound of grated cheese and mash the lot together like it was the soft parts of someone you really don't like.
It feeds a small army and keeps for days, best served with cold beer and warm company.

Can you tell I keep my computer in the kitchen?

Well T.. yeah.. i AM a chocolate slut..lol
anyways
since i read that you dislike cooking the regular traditional meals for Thansgiving.. and are looking for alterantives to the usual steak that you have...how about..
Chicken Marsala
 
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 (5 oz.) boneless, skinned chicken breast halves
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tbsp. vegetable oil (safflower is lower)
6 oz. mushrooms, sliced
1/4 c. Marsala wine
1/4 c. beef broth
2 tsp. cornstarch
Combine flour, salt and pepper on piece of waxed paper. Dredge chicken in flour mixture to coat well. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and oil in large, heavy skillet. Add chicken and brown on both sides in skillet over moderate heat. Drain chicken on paper toweling. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet. Add mushroom and saute over moderately high heat 3 minutes. Add Marsala wine. Scrape up brown bits from bottom of skillet. Remove from heat.
Place chicken in microwave-safe 8x12x2 inch baking dish with thickest parts toward outside. Pour mushroom-wine mixture over all. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave at 100% power 6 to 8 minutes until chicken is tender, rotating casserole 180 degrees at high time. Remove chicken and mushrooms with slotted spoon to bowl. Keep warm.
Whisk together the broth and the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the baking dish liquid. Microwave, uncovered, at 100% power for 2 to 3 minutes until sauce thickens and boils, whisking at half time. Return chicken and mushrooms to baking dish. Spoon sauce over top. Serve with noodles

mmmm..  i love the flavor marsala wine gives to this dish..and the pretty color of the final results.. a deep burgandy, served on white china...would make a beautiful alternative to traditional turkey. Enjoy with a nice glass of red wine..salad with italian dressing. and cheesecake for dessert.. Can't think of a better winter comfort meal. Enjoy!

So far today I have made two pumpkin pies (from a recipe they used to use in the White House), a pumpkin cream cheese roll, a pan of yeast rolls, and I have a pork roast in the slow cooker for barbque pulled pork. I still have to make the cranberry sauce. And tomorrow I am making dutch apple pie. (of course on Thanksgiving, I will make the yeast rolls again, and some mashed potatoes.)
The other day I made chex mix. (not from a packet)
Honey Master is making the turkey and the gravy. 
I'm not going to bore you with all those recipes. If someone would like me to, let me know which one(s) and I will post them.
Ok, so, lots of clean up to do, and cranberries to boil!

*lol* I hoped no one would ask for that one, as that is the one I cheat at. I buy the mccormicks seasoning for slow cooked pulled pork. (You add in 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of ketchup, and 1/3 cup of apple cidar vinegar. You can also add some beer, if you like.)
Put a 3-5 pound pork loin (well-trimmed) into the slow cooker, and then pour the barbeque mixture over the pork. You cook it on low for at least eight hours, or high for four or more.
It is ready when you can take two large forks, and tear the meat into pieces easily. Or you could check it the conventional way. It is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the middle reads 195-200 degrees (f)
(It also makes the house smell very good.)

That is so not cheating, cheating is buying one already made and sticking it in the cooker, my sister is famous for that!
I am making this soon, that sounds yummy as hell. I think I will throw in a bottle of dark beer, just for another layer of flavor.  Thank you christina!

You're very welcome! I have also just thrown in a bottle of Famous Daves or Sweet Baby Rays when I don't have the "time" to make the other mixture. But this is lots better. (and it's even better the next day)
(and the next)
(and the next)
It makes a lot so, if you don't have a lot of big eaters around, you can freeze some, too.

I also forgot to mention I have an EXCELLENT and exbarassingly easy recipe for french onion soup.

One of my favorite (amazingly easy) recipes i use for every Thanksgiving, Christmas and office parties. Takes about possibly 10 minutes total and everyone raves about it.

Rocky Road Candy
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag butterscotch chips
1 stick of margerine/butter
1 cup of nuts - pecans or walnuts or your favorite choice
1 bag of mini marshmallows

Melt all the chips and the butter in microwave - on 70% for about 5 minutes until melted but don't over do it
Stir in nuts and marshmallows. i normally do not use all the marshmallows...maybe 3/4 of the bag.
Spread into 9 x 12 pyrex type dish (i spray mine with Pam) and refrigerate.

When ready to serve cut into small pieces, maybe an inch square. It's very rich so the pieces don't need to be big at all. Best if kept in fridge until using.

I lurve sweet and sour meatballs! (are there red peppers in the sauce?) *drools*

French onion soup

Ingredients
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef consomme
  • 1 tablespoon beef bouillon (not a cube, the kind that comes in a paste)
  • 2 large onions sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 pressed garlic cloves
  • 1 dash worcestershire sauce
  • red wine
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella, swiss or provolone cheese.
  • 4 slices toasted French bread either older bread, or, if using fresher bread, toast it slowly for a lonnnnnng time at 200 (f)

Directions
  1. Place onions and butter in saucepan.
  2. Sauté on medium heat until onions are tender.
  3. Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes (don't let garlic burn).
  4. Add beef broth, consomme,bouillon, wine and Woschershire sauce.
  5. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Simmer for a while; just don't cook out all of your broth!
  6. Take ovenproof bowls and place 0.125 cup of cheese in bottom of each bowl.
  7. Fill bowl with soup leaving room at the top.
  8. Place toasted French bread on top.
  9. Top with  cheese.
  10. Place bowls on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Place under broiler until cheese is bubbly. (this will happen fairly quickly, so pay attention!)
  11. Serve immediately.
  12. Caution--bowls will be hot!

This is good when it is first made, but better the next day or the next. It tastes like much more work went into this than actually did
