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!
dessert!
I enjoy the break between the meal and dessert. I love the walks, football and games full of fun and laughter.
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is when the family and friends gather around the table and my husband prays before we dig into our feast.
my favorite food is cranberry fluff. there can never be too much!!
My Favorite part of Thanksgiving is shooing my oldest son out of the kitchen every ten minutes once the deviled eggs and orange salad is complete. Just don’t tell him that….
The gathering of loved ones around the pecan pie
My favorite part of the day, other than time with family, is dessert.
Thanks for the giveaway. I love all of the family and friends at my table. I love to cook as much from scratch and love my homemade cranberries.
What a wonderful giveaway! My favorite part is cooking in the kitchen with my mom, dad and brother. We chase out the rest of the family and work together to get everything ready.
I think I would say that the best part of Thanksgiving is the closeness of family and friends….and the next best part is the combination of great “turkey dinner” flavors and especially dessert!
pies!
Being with family and friends. We are not turkey fans, so the meal itself isn’t a big deal but I love the fellowship.
I like just getting together with family and friends. The best thing I like about the meal is that since we go out nobody has to cook or clean up afterwards.
[...] By caliphoenix Mary over at Owlhaven is having a giveaway…Up for grabs is a Emerilware Stainless 4-Quart Sauce Pan … It looks pretty [...]
I love the side dishes!
Gravy!
well, until this year it was the stuffing BUT this year I soaked the turkey (organic, fresh bird) in a herb-ed brine for 24 hours prior to roasting and OH.MY.GOSH…the most amazing, succulent turkey I have EVER had!! this is definitely the birthing of a new tradition!
The stuffing!!
My favorite part is when everyone places their five unpopped popcorn kernels in the thankfulnes jar and says five thigns for which they are thankful. The jar gets fuller every year.
mashed potatoes!
The best part is dessert!
dessert!
I love my mom’s rice and gravy.
Favorite part, sitting down with the family and we each take turns, and tell what each of us are thankful for.
I love the feeling of time being suspended because our ‘schedules’ have been put on the back burner for the day. Oh, and I also adore the stuffing.

My favorite part is the sandwiches I make with the leftover turkey. White bread, mayo, turkey and salt. Takes me back to being a kid.
My grandmother’s fruit salad. It may not be my FAVORITE taste-wise, I mean I love it but I also love stuffing and yams and turkey, etc, but it brings back floods of memories….helping Grandma and Grandpa out with the making of it. All of us cousins excited to be considered old enough to sit at the table and help our aunts and uncles slice the fruit.
To me, it IS Thanksgiving.
I love the stuffing and gravy. Happy Thanksgiving.
Ohhh….want! the! pot! Very cool.
My fav part? Honestly, I can’t separate out one part. It’s the whole thing together. Stuffing, cranberry (which I haven’t always had, depending where I’m at. I thought this year I wouldn’t have it but someone gave me a can! So I’m thanful), pumpkin pie…the whole ensemble!
er, I’m thanKful, that is…
No doubt about it… I love the pie. In my family it is customary to have at minimum two types of dessert, though usually it is much more than that. I love taking a break between the main course and dessert knowing that the pies are all waiting for me.
(And, of course, I love sharing the meal with people I love… but that is true of any meal with family or friends. The pies are a rarity)
Stuffing, no doubt about it! lol
why cranberries of course. yummy!
I love the part when my husband exuberantly hugs me and says “The BEST meal of the YEAR, Baby!” and then my ten year old daughter attempts to eat her own weight in mashed potatoes. Then my son tries to eat the drumstick and my youngest says, “I’m full” before she even makes a dent because she is so little. It makes all the preparation totally worth it…
My favorite is pie
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the food preparation when there are way too many cooks in the kitchen who are creating masterpieces, sneaking samples, creating masterpieces, and teasing family who have been apart way too long.
Foodwise it’s my mom’s cornbread dressing. Generally speaking it’s being together w/ family.
I love visiting with my extended family. We only see them a few times a year, so it is really special.
Ooh, looks neat! Hmmm…I love ALL the parts of the Thanksgiving dinner…but I’m pretty sure I would HAVE to say the pumpkin pie!!!
I am all about the brown and off-white foods — the dressing and the mashed potatoes. MMmm, I do love me some carbs!
Thanks for the chance!
Me too!!
Love, love love the green bean casserole
And I always look forward to whatever dessert creation I’m in the mood to bake. This year it was pumpkin pie bars. YUM!
What would Thanksgiving dinner be without turkeymashedpotatoesgravyandstuffing? They might cook in separate pots, but I can’t have one without the other. After that, I have to have some sort of sweet, low-brow, Midwestern Jell-O; it’s the kid in me, I guess.

Mashed potatoes! And Panda bread–Pumpkin, Applesauce, Nuts, Dates, and Apricots. It’s delicious!
Stuffing and pie (pecan or pumpkin) are my favorite meal items. I enjoy the entire day: the rush to get the meal finished, the slower pace of eating and enjoying each other, and the post-meal resting/football/time together.
I love my mom’s candied yams! And we always splurge on prosciutto for the appetizer. And leftovers the next day are especially tasty!
Seeing all the family at once and the event not being a funeral or wedding.
Dessert of course. This year it consisted of peanut butter fudge and chocolate cream pie. I added cinnamon to the cream topping and it really complimented the chocolate.
Grandma’s stuffing is the absolute best!
Sweet potato casserole. Yum!
It’s got to be the gravy…there is nothing quite like that ultra rich homemade turkey gravy.
Thanks for the entry.
