Ruffles with a spinach-onion dip. (The "trashiest Thanksgiving food" thread inspired me.) The dip was enjoyed; the chips disappeared quickly.

Everything!

I roasted a bone in turkey breast and it was just perfect! I’ve had trouble in the past getting them done but not dry.

Sides: mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, sautéed green beans (still bright with a crunch), sage sourdough stuffing, sumac roasted carrots and parsnips. They all came out perfect.

Oh and pumpkin pie. Crust was slightly burnt, but at least it wasn’t soggy on the bottom!

Teens clean to hide.

Our carry out and no extended family was so nice.

We're at the ocean for a few days and cheated with the cooking this year. Precooked turkey from Whole Foods and a couple of sides -:- pretty good quality and so much less work. Left more time to enjoy the beach.

Everything I have made from this website has been amazing.

The dinner turned out great. Made a buttermilk brine from Williams Sonoma website and some great cornbread, sausage, and apple dressing.
But the real successes were:
All the adults started drinking wine around 11am, do we were all in a great mood when it was time to eat at 1pm.
Postprandial family kickball game. All ages played, and we had a blast!

I brined a turkey breast in buttermilk for the first time and then roasted it with just salt, pepper and butter. Color was great and it tasted great.

Our Christian family hosted two of our daughter’s non-binary friends from college. All went well.

I made the spatchcocked, buttermilk brined turkey from the New York Times. First time doing either method, and it was magnificent. Best turkey I’ve ever had.
