How about a recipe for the pineapple stuffing? do you just add pineapple to regular stuffing? I usually add chopped apples and raisins to mine but might try this one.

Mmm... I am getting hungry for Thanksgiving now!

My favorite is probably plain ol' Stovetop Stuffing drenched in gravy with a little cranberry sauce (jellied) on top!

(That is really more like THREE sides, but whatever! )

It's just about impossible for me to pick "one", but if I had to, my favorite would be my stuffing..

It sounds weird but it is oh so yummy...especially if you have a sweet tooth. Its not really "stuffing-like" it more like a bread pudding. Here it is:

1/4lb melted butter
1 cup of sugar
4 eggs beaten
1 22oz can of crushed pineapple
5 slices of white bread w/ crust (cubed)
ground cinnamon
ground nutmeg

Melt butter, cool slightly (make sure it isn't too hot or you will scramble the eggs). Mix butter and sugar add eggs 1/4 at a time. Stir in pineapple. Fold in bread cubes. Put into a buttered (must be butter or it will be a PAIN to clean) 2 qt round casserole dish. Sprinkle nutmeg and cinnamon on top. Bake uncovered @ 350 for an 1hr.

Cause of the extended cooking time (all the other sides are usually 30ish mins) I bake this in the toaster oven. Also I usually prepare this in the casserole dish I am making it in.

I love this recipe cause it's basically just a dump and go and my mom used to let me make this when i was a kid

Stuffing, hands down!! I also really, really like green bean casserole..but stuffing rules out.

[crz4mm2]

I think people should post the recipes that go along with their favs!

 

[OK!]

Macaroni and cheese! (We never make m & c but it's one of my favorite foods so I'd love it as a side for breakfast.)

I love green bean casserole and the spiced peaches that my grandma always made.

 

[ryanshana]

I think people should post the recipes that go along with their favs!

I agree!!!!

Green bean casserole & stuffing are usually the things I look forward to the most, but this year we will be at Boma so I'm looking forward to fufu!!!

 

[tink20]

My favorite, is the stuffing. Yummy!

But if you want something different I make this its quick and easy:

White shoepeg corn (frozen 3 bags)
put in bowl in microwave with butter (1 stick unsalted cubed)and cream cheese(8oz cubed), keep heating and stirring until melted and creamy, add salt and pepper.

I made Paula Deen's Broccoli Salad last year. I loved it, so did everyone else.
