I dislike Thanksgiving food for the most part. But I do love stuffing! Easily my fave.

My favorite dessert is pumpkin pie.

[emilyinchile]

Favorite Side: rmashed potatoes (my aunt's recipe that has sour cream and garlic salt mixed in) with allllll the gravy. There is no such thing as too much gravy.

Favorite Dessert: I don't have one specifically

[lavenderblue]

Definitely my stuffing, which I can no longer eat because I don't do gluten. Yes, I can and do make it with gluten free bread, and the flavor is there, but the bread is just not the same and it just tastes like sadness.

Everything else is a close second. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I host so it's all good LOL

For dessert, it's a solid tie for Pumpkin and Pecan Pies. I don't really bake so my Mom brings dessert and they are both so good.

Side: We make stovetop stuffing but mix in a pint of sliced mushrooms and half a yellow onion, both of which we sauté before stirring them into the cooked stuffing. It’s so good.

Dessert: I love them all. Which is funny because other than Thanksgiving, I’m not a big sweets girl. But I think chocolate pound cake is my favorite, followed closely by apple pie with vanilla ice cream.

I don't really like Thanksgiving food, it's so boring. Stuffing is disgusting.

I like pumpkin pie though.

[cheeseplease]

Side: Mashed Potatoes

Dessert: Cherry Pie

[penelope]

Side: All of them, I'm all about the sides and sometimes don't even take any turkey. My favorite though is roasted brussel sprouts with bacon, dried cherries and goat cheese.(not a family anything, but I love it and it feels worth the effort on Thanksgiving).

Dessert: Cheesecake

[NewGirlNic]

Side: parker house rolls (with honey butter and flaky salt) I've started making a double batch (even though we have a small gathering), because people were fighting over them. They are also awesome for mini turkey sandwiches the next day, so leftovers are a must. 
Dessert: my SIL's apple pie

[bex1973]

I love all Thanksgiving foods!

Side - tie between stuffing and mashed potatoes slight lead for stuffing because we eat mashed potatoes through out the year and stuffing not so much.

Dessert - Probably apple pie - especially with a sugary crumb topping!

[wildrice]

Stuffing. It has to have sausage in it though - I never really cared for it growing up because it didn't have any.

Dessert, I guess apple pie? I am usually way too full from dinner to get excited about eating afterwards.

I am intrigued!

Stove Top is the freaking bomb.

I just made stuffing for an event (vegetarian, blah) and it is SO much work for an end result inferior to Stove Top!

Do they even advertise? I don't think I've ever seen an ad for it.

[jinkies]

I will join the stuffing masses. LOL. I love it so much.

Candied sweet potatoes were always my favorite growing up, but I've lost my sweet tooth as I've gotten older and so now I'm a stuffing girl.

Desserts are fine, but I would happily skip them all in favor of more savory food.

I do make this caramel apple cheesecake thing that is always a hit though: www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/caramel-apple-cheesecake-bars/

[starburst604]

Side: tie between mashed potatoes and green bean casserole

Dessert: I don't like pie so I'm often not eating dessert at Thanksgiving unless someone makes a cake.

[Jalapeñomel]

Not turkey


Stuffing is my favorite as long as it doesn't have celery. LOL

I am not really a dessert person, and I hate pie crust.
