thanksgiving revisited...
so, tomorrow, we're heading to our friend's annual thanksgiving dinner. we were supposed to have friends over for a quiet dinner and a movie, but instead, they cancelled, and now we're going to another great big dinner.
and i need to make something.
here's what we had at my dinner, this past saturday:
bacon wrapped breadsticks
goat cheese and frisee salad with pinot noir vinaigrette.
Sweet Italian sausage, chestnut, olive and prosciutto stuffed turkey breast
sweet italian sausage, spinach and rice stuffed acorn squash
Roasted sweet potato and banana casserole
Cranberry orange conserve
"blue" cranberry sauce.
Mashed potatoes.
green bean casserole
cheesy corn casserole
stove-top stuffing
Crescent rolls.
apple butter pumpkin pie.
4-layer pumpkin cake with pumpkin cream cheese frosting
any comments from guests about what was good would be appreciated. i want to make something special to take, but i'm running low on ideas.
thanks.

I was thinking that the cake would do well but to do it with the caramel and pecans and make it look all bad ass.

Bacon wrapped breadsticks really were good but, damned, the stuffed acorn squash rawked! Everyone loved the cake (but I didn't have any of it because I don't eat cake).
Your entire dinner kicked ass so anything you choose to make will be loved by all!

I loved it all. I think that turkey stuffing would make a great stand alone meatloaf. The cranberries were awesome. The sweet potatoes were amazing. The bacon-wrapped breadsticks covered in mayo were utterly sinful.
You knock yourself out,but it is truly appreciated.
