Thanksgiving Recipes

I was worried that I was going to mess up and miss the deadline to post Thanksgiving recipes, but then I realized that nobody cooks before Thanksgiving (not to mention the limited number of readers and the fact that everyone has their own recipes for Thanksgiving...). So I've compiled some recipes from around the worldwide web that I've found over the last year and have never made before. They are not Thanksgiving specific, but they are definitely things most people serve on Thanksgiving, so without further ado (click the name of the item for recipes):

1. Green Chile Macaroni - I know that as a kid, and sadly as an adult, I ate an inordinate amount of macaroni and cheese. The same old recipe can get tiring, even if it is homemade, so try this recipe which adds a Southwestern kick to an old favorite. If you insist on the original, however, this recipe claims (and looks) to be perfect.

2. The Bird - Everyone hates a dry bird, and everyone hates the ridicule that comes from making said dry bird. The people at the food network know best, though I'm not sure they need an entire network...

3. Dressing, stuffing, what have you - Now you can go and find yourself any number of variations on a classic and I know that given my words earlier concerning macaroni you may expect me to venture out into different waters when it comes to dressing, but you would be mistaken. Nothing is better than classic dressing. If I knew my mom's own recipe, I would post it here. Alas, I do not, and I don't want to give away the secret anyway, but I have left you in the capable hands of the food network.

4. Dessert - There is only one desert in my mind: the one, the only, pecan pie. The people at myhomecooking.net bring you through the 3 step process to perfect this, the most important of traditions.

Now go forth and eat. Have a happy bird day!
