So glad the sore throat is gone. I am the one with the restrictions typically, though this year my sister is too since she's had to go gluten-free. I'm loving not being the only oddball ;-)

I am going to make your bread to take (can't wait to try it out) along with some veggie sides. My dad does make some of his spaghetti sauce for me sans meatballs at least.

The sweet potato pie looks so good! I noticed that in the recipe it calls for liquid egg replacer. I am vegan and its hard to find a liquid egg replacer that doesn't contain eggs. Can I use Ener G egg replacer (powder)?

I hear ya Heather, we are all about the restrictions here! I hope your sister likes the bread. I love it and Have to keep from eating it!

Thanks Lauren! I have not used egg replacer before, but I think you could use it here. It is used to bind it and I believe that is what egg replacer is for.

don't do casseroles? Those are my favorite part! LOL

Glad you're feeling better! And I love that you're already in the Thanksgiving spirit! I'm so excited...

The eggplant sounds like a great idea. I can't have sugar right now so I'm nervous about my Thanksgiving options. I'll probably make something to bring so I don't feel weird if there's nothing there I can eat.

Hope your boy is feeling better!

Glad you and the fam are feeling better.

I love cornbread stuffing. I've only had it at my friends houses. My mom's family does a very traditional thanksgiving of turkey, green bean casserole, mashed taters, cranberry sauce, etc. I thinik I prefer things a bit more "untraditional"!

I could use a few more hours in my day too!

I agree... that sweet potato pie looks amazing

My mom actually just emailed me asking if she should bake a tofurkey for the vegetarians (aka me) in the family. I laughed :)

I hope Jay feels better!! I'm glad you are, too. I'm so sensitive when I think I'm catching a cold, too. THe slightest scratch/grogginess draws extra precautions!!
I am looking forward to making stuff for Thanksgiving. Even though my mom brought home bagged stuffing and canned cranberry sauce from the store today. I scolded her in a nice way :P We all loved the cranberry sauce I made last year, and I'd love to make homemade stuffing/dressing. Don't know what else!!

Being sick..sucks. Hopefully you guys get and stay healthy!

I am posting a huge TG roundup recipes post tomorrow.

I am cooking. For the 3 of us. Vegan, nonvegan, GF, not GF. The one meal a year i am cooking JUST for scott :) with 0 ability to eat it myself but i am happy to do it!

Man, I'm kinda glad our Thanksgiving is over and done with - but also a bit jealous because this year we didn't really do anything. Maybe I'll have to cook something festive...like your crustless pie (it looks beautiful!)

Sorry about the little guy not feeling so great, Sarena. You guys are most definitely going to earn your holiday break with all of the renovations, work, craziness!

I'm not cooking, really, I'm usually in charge of the appetizer which this year is a roasted apple, shallot and pecan salad with feta and cranberry vinaigrette. Easy peasy!

I'm glad your sore throat is going away! And congrats on getting a head start on thanksgiving prep! you'll be all set for next week!

My dad always makes the BEST sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving! Of course, I haven't been home for Thanksgiving since I left for college (I've lived too far!), so I usually beg him to make one at Christmas too!

That sweet potato pie looks great. What is sweet rice flour though?

Lee, I have gotten it at Kroger and the health food store. It is a very sticky rice flour and it works great here to hold it together!

They are the easiest to plan for. We don't do casseroles really other than dressing,So they are pretty easy to please. Even our desserts are fairly simple and they will be making a few for us.
