Thanksgiving Kitchen Giveaway
This week I have a great giveaway! This Emerilware Stainless 4-Quart Sauce Pan was given to me by CSN stores. It is sturdy and feels very high quality. The Emeril line of cookware is made by All-Clad. It is not QUITE as heavy feeling as my beloved All Clad stock pot, but pretty darned close. The handle has a good feel, and I love the clear lid. The pot has excellent conduction of heat. I discovered it worked best to cook things on a lower setting because the pot is so efficient.
I was pleasantly surprised at how large it was. These days I use some pretty huge pots, and while I wouldn’t be able to make my customary double batch of soup in it, this pot is big enough to warm up the leftovers the next day, or make the sauce to top a batch of pasta, or cook some veggies for a side dish.
To enter the drawing for this cool pot, simply tell me the part of the Thanksgiving meal that you most enjoy. I will be choosing a winner among commenters one week from today. If you’d like a second entry to this contest, mention the contest on your blog.
Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for!
I love turkey, but dessert is always my favorite!
I love time with our family….and this year we’ve invited an Ethiopian family to join us!
How very fun!!
I love the dressing / stuffing, ….top it with gravy …yum!
I love the mashed potatoes — just dripping with butter!
I love all the different flavors and textures at Thanksgiving, it’s hard to choose!! I guess I’ll mention the food I reach in the frig to munch on most often….the turkey. I love a moist, fresh turkey!

My favorite time of the meal is sitting down and eating while surrounded by loved ones. Before actually eating, we go around the table stating the thing that we are most grateful for on that day. Some of the answers are funny or silly but most of them remind us how we are truly loved and blessed.
My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is remembering Who we give thanks to, and who He has blessed us with to be thankful for.
Chicken and dressing with cranberry sauce!
Being with family is the best part, and counting our blessings. As for food, the best part is chicken and dressing made by my Mama’s recipe and homemade giblet gravy. Yum!
I love the turkey and gravey…and the cranberries. Most of all the fellowship around the table!
My cornbread cranberry stuffing! LOVE IT!!!
Sounds wonderful!!
I used to be in it for the GRAVY slathered on everything. But these days…it’s all about the PUMPKIN PIE.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I love it all, but especially that our neighbor invites us to celebrate with her family each year!
As for the food, I love it all, especially the yam and carrot casserole and the broccoli casserole! And the desserts.
I love the turkey smothered with homemade whole berry cranberry sauce the best.
The stuffing and the pumpkin pie!
My favorite is good moist herbed dressing (stuffing) cooked outside of the turkey but with lots of stock in it.
I love the stuffing!
Dessert, although I’m not a pumpkin fan….more of an apple or derby pie kinda girl.
I’m a stuffing/dressing fan. Thanks for the giveaway Mary!
My mom and daughter are in the kitchen right now making the pumpkin pie, so I’m definitely looking forward to that! Happy Thanksgiving
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is after everyone has eaten, but before dessert when everyone is full and content and just basking in the togetherness.
The part where you go back for seconds with the thought in mind that desert is coming up next.
Hi Mary – I love the beginning part of the meal: kids prayers, anticipation, the smells, all of it- right before the first bite!
Great-grandma’s homemade pickled beets. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I love pickled beets. My family thinks I’m nuts! My Grandparents always grew them and pickled them, but they are gone now, so no more.

Momma’a dressing is most definitely the best part of Thanksgiving! deanenpr at yahoo.com
I could just eat pumpkin pie and be very happy.
The pie!
I love eating with my family but grace is my favorite part and then going around the table saying thanks!

The stuffing! Oh yum!
The stuffing. It’s the only time of the year I have it. Yumm
Turkey is good, but I always feel bad for the cook, because there is so much pressure to have a juicy turkey and not one like on “Christmas Vacation” hahaha

My favorite part of Turkey Day is its a day off with my family!
My favorite is my mother’s cornbread dressing…YUM. I’m smelling it in the oven right now.
While I love the dessert of Pumpkin crisp I love the mashed potatoes smothered in butter or when someone has made my grandmother’s stuffing.
My favorite is the dressing. Yummy!! I try to make a lot so we have plenty for leftovers.
Potatoes of any kind!
Tough choice because I like a little bit of everything in each bite. But, I’ll say the stuffing.
I love sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top.
My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is my Nanny Sue’s Pecan Pie.
The stuffing with fresh cranberry sauce is my very part of the food, but my favorite part of the meal is when we all hold hands and discuss what we are most thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving.
Smoked turkey and our fresh fruit salad.
pie, pie and more pie
I love sweet potato casserole! Mmmmmm. The crunchy pecan-brown sugar topping and the creamy, sweet potatoes – its the best!
I enjoy my uncle’s prayer before the meal. He is sentimental and if something touches his heart, he will choke up as he goes. We kid him about his soft heart, but would miss it if that weren’t the way it was. This year, with my husband deployed and having lost my grandmother, I am sure the prayer will be extra special. Once the meal begins, you will find me with my mom’s “Party Potatoes” on my plate. So good and always a favorite.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
My favorite part is when I have finally finished cleaning up the kitchen! (But my favorite part to eat is pecan pie.)
family and lima beans
We are far from most of our family and our Thanksgiving day meal traditions vary from year to year, depending upon whom we spend it with. Thanksgiving was a big deal for my family growing up so this has been a source of sadness to me. A couple of years ago I decided to institute a “just-our-family-breakfast”. This year my 9-year old will be making his “famous egg sandwiches” for everyone while we sit around the table and thank the Lord for his goodness to our family this year. I think we will be “drawing our prayers” this year. I’ve tried to get as much prep for the dinner done so that I, too, can relax in the morning with my precious husband and 5 kiddos!
mashed potatoes. Hot. With lots of butter and gravy.
I love candied yams/sweet potatoes! I love them on their own, not just “candied” but it’s a treat to have them at Thanksgiving. I don’t feel too guilty eating them either, I just keep telling myself, “Well, they are vegetables after all!”
The dessert. Any and all desserts.
