Thanksgiving is America's national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty."
Michael Dresser

RECIPES
Wayward Seed Farm's Sweet Potato Puree with Roasted Garlic
1 head garlic
2 pounds Beauregard sweet potatoes
2 pounds Reba or Blue Gold potatoes
2 cups milk
¼ to ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
First roast the garlic: Wrap the head in foil, put in a preheated 400˚ oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until completely soft. (Test with the tip of a knife.) When cool, cut the top free from the head, separate the cloves, and set aside.
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Put them in a pot with a steamer insert, or boil. Season with a teaspoon of salt and steam over medium high to high heat (or boil), until cooked, about 20 minutes. Drain, add the unpeeled roasted cloves of garlic, and puree through a food mill, using a fine disk. Return puree to the pot and reheat over low heat. Scald the milk in a separate saucepan and add from 1 to 2 cups to the potatoes, depending on how dry they are. Then add the olive oil to taste, and season with salt and pepper, and serve.
PJ's All Natural Farms and Greenhouse Glazed Carrots and Green Beans
6 cups water
1/2 pound fresh carrots
1/2 pound fresh green beans
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add carrots; cover and cook for 1 minute. Add beans; cover and cook 2 minutes longer. Drain and immediately place vegetables in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
Place the vegetables in a large skillet; add broth and butter. Bring to a boil; cook, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until liquid is reduced to about 2 teaspoons. Add the sugar, salt and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute.
Handmade Dinner Rolls by Tom the Pie Man
2 packages active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
9 cups of flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water and add remaining ingredients. Mix well, knead, and knead the dough thoroughly. Let dough rise once. After dough has risen once, punch down and then form three balls for each roll and place in muffin baking sheet (I use stoneware) and make one to two dozen rolls, let rise. (I make one dozen and two loaves of bread which is great toasted for breakfast or for turkey sandwiches)! Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown (typically 15-20 minutes, bread longer) after bread dough has risen a second time.
The Brown and Blond Bakery's Pumpkin Blondies
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground clove
The Brown and Blond Bakery’s Blondie Baking Mix
1 egg
1/4 cup of oil
1/2 cup of canned pumpkin
Mix cinnamon, ginger, and clove to The Brown and Blond Bakery’s Blondie Baking Mix. In a medium bowl, beat together egg, oil, and pumpkin until fully incorporated. Add in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour in an 8 x 8 pan with the bottom greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Cool and enjoy plain or with Vanilla or Cream Cheese Frosting or a scoop of ice cream.
For an egg free version, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the mix, and use 3 Tablespoons of oil, 3 Tablespoons of water, and 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin.
