Hummm. To be honest the only thing I like is the mashed potatoes. I am not a fan of turkey and unless someone takes me to Longhorn for a nice steak that is basically what I will be eating. I love cranberry sauce too, not toe homemade kind (YUCK), but the ocean spray one that is the shape of the can yum yum yummy. I wish someone would make me some creamed spinach cause I do like that but I've never come across a good recipe. I hope someone makes something they really love. In this day and age there are tons of way to prepare all the favorites and even more healthier ways to prepare it. Happy Recipe Sharing..... Shannon

Shannon, I still love mashed taters. Have you tried the Idahoan Instant Baby Reds and Loaded Baked Potatoe mixes??? They are AWESOME! Have a GREAT week! I love Logan's Steakhouse Mesquite Grilled Chicken Salad and throwing the peanut hulls on the floor - FUN! - hugs - dea

Mine is my old standby of Green Bean Casserole that we have made for years but now I use the reduced fat, low sodium soup and alternate it in layers with french style green beans, cream of mushroom and cream of celery reduced fat soups and Lipton's Onion Soup mix dry sprinkled a little on each layer. I use mostly the onion pieces with just a little of bouillon mix. Bake it at 350 for 30-45 minutes until it is hot and bubbly and enjoy - tastes great and even better the next day. I did try a cranberry relish recipe using spenda last year - I'm going to have to find that sucker again as my family never knew the difference. Keep those recipes coming - I love checking them out.

E!, Thanks for sharing! I love the Red Hat pix! Wishing you many Thanksgiving blessings this year. - hugs - dea

Havent tried those tater's but they sound yummy. I'm gonna look for em the next time I am at the grocery store. Thanks Shannon

Shannon, Let me know how you like them - I'm hooked - easy, quick & fast and alot better than my attempts at homemade. - hugs - dea

Dea, Are they in the same area with the instant potatoes??? I know for sure I'll be making mashed for Thanksgiving because hubby and kiddos would revolt if I didn't, but that doesn't mean I can't make something in ADDITION to the mashed! Jill P. 288/172/145 9-21-04

Jill, sorry so long to reply - been really busy - but yes with the instant taters is where I've found them. Have a GREAT week! -hugs - dea
