Anyway, happy Thanksgiving! I hosted Thanksgiving this year with a massive amount of food. I made: a turkey (of course), stovetop stuffing, mashed potato casserole (mashed potatoes with cheddar, sour cream and green onions), sweet potato casserole (mashed sweet potatoes with a topping of coconut, brown sugar, and walnuts), scalloped onions, and green beans with caramelized onions. I also made a dreamsicle cake for dessert (by request).
Yesterday, I made the hot dogs with the chili meat sauce again (the hubby had forgotten all about it) and it was a hit again!
Today I'm making a new recipe called Sunday Baked Chicken which is chicken with a kind of homemade barbecue sauce and onions.
Both the Hot Dog Chili Sauce and the Sunday Baked Chicken recipes come from a book called "Comfort Foods" and its available here:

I love this book! The only thing I've made that wasn't a hit was a Chocolate Gooey Cake, which could have been because Jim and I aren't big dessert people.
I'm looking forward to next weekend when I have my mom's annual cookie swap! I'm going to be making Salty Sweet Peanutty Treat and Bedtime Snack n' Jammies plus one other cookie that hasn't been decided yet.
