Thanksgiving Practice--November 2, 2017

We were busy preparing for Thanksgiving at the last Recipe Club meeting! There were many delicious Thanksgiving dishes to try.

I made Crock Pot Cranberry Pecan Stuffing. I don't make stuffing to often, but this was a very tasty and easy side dish to throw together, and a great way to make stuffing without using your oven!

Karen whipped up a delicious Maple Pumpkin Cheesecake! Loaded with pumpkin and fall flavors, this would be a delicious Thanksgiving dessert.

Karen also brought Filled Dates. This is a super easy appetizer or even dessert to throw together, and only 5 ingredients--dates, cream cheese, honey, almond extract, and almonds!

Chris brought Cinnamon Sugar Pecans! A perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar and makes a perfect holiday snack or gift.

Chris also brought Cranberry Juice. A super easy punch to throw together with cranberry juice, orange juice and Sprite. It goes great with some cranberry ice cubes!

Mary brought a Jello Salad Mold. With cherry jello and cherry pie filling, this tasted like a cherry cheesecake. Yummy!

Mary also brought Swiss Vegetable Medley. This casserole is a good alternate recipe for green bean casserole. This is a good, creamy veggie casserole, and easy because you use frozen veggies.

Jenny brought Cauliflower Salad with Chermoula and Carrots. A delicious and healthy side dish full of cauliflower, carrots, and onions, with a refreshing dressing! A perfect side for a Thanksgiving meal.

Pat brought Acorn Squash. This is a very easy side dish and full of fall flavors!

Margene made Pumpkin Cookies, and this is an old family recipe that she has been using for years! It's a smooth, soft cookie full of pumpkin flavor a delicious frosting!

Margaret made Pecan Pie Bars. She tried a new recipe, and it turned out well! The middle was ooey and gooey and the crust tasted like a sugar cookie! 

Sue R. made Slow-Cooker Apple-Cranberry Dump Cake. With the words "slow-cooker" and "dump cake," this recipe is bound to be easy. And it was. Throw the fruit mixture in, toss it all together, and sprinkle the cinnamon and cake mix on top! Easy and delicious!

Sue R. also made a Slow-Cooker Apple Cranberry Sauce. There is a good balance between the sweet apples and tart cranberries!

Anna mixed-up a Holiday Fruit Salad. It's a recipe she has been using every year, and everyone expects her to bring to Thanksgiving! It's a refreshing salad to have on a Thanksgiving table!

Jennifer brought Cheesy Grits! It's her aunts recipe and a delicious home-style southern dish!

Rose Mary and Fred also brought a Wild Turkey Salad and a Pumpkin Streusel Bundt Cake.
