    I love Thanksgiving, b/c I LOOOOVE food.  My favorite dish has to be the bread stuffing my FMIL makes.  I finally found the recipe (Betty Crocker) and it is tasty!  I'm not huge into turkey, but I do enjoy green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, and mashed potatoes.  My fiance is planning on making the turkey this time around and he's testing a new dinner roll recipe (think Logan's or O'Charley's).  So what's your favorite dish?

    Let me start by saying, I love O'Charley's rolls almost more than I love FI.  I am half joking....

    I love it all.  Stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey, rolls, brussel sprouts...Mmmm...

    Oh this is making me hungry. I LOOOVE food too. My favorite dish is a toss up between the mashed potatoes with gravy and stuffing. Pumpkin pie for dessert with a big dollop of whip cream tops off the evening quit nicely!

    @MsJ26:  I love pumpkin pie, it is my all time favorite.  My fiance loves to make this really sweet and buttery crust--the crust is almost tastier than the filling :)

    @Lindsay12.31.2010:  I'm not going to judge for loving O'Charley's rolls.  I seriously love their rolls more than anything on their menu.

    @Jenn23:  We're making gravy, but I'm not a huge fan.  My Fiance's making homemade cranberry sauce for his sister (a bit too bitter for me).  But oh that I love the rest of the stuff!  By the way, I hope you're feeling better!

    I can't choose. We go to DH's aunt's house every year, and everything on her table is absolutely incredible. Personal favorites-mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and stuffing. And pumpkin pie. Mmm pie.

    The only thing I don't like is this oyster stuffing she makes (she makes regular stuffing for me--actually, this year, my IL's froze the leftover stuffing from our wedding last month (Thanksgiving dinner), and are planning on serving it...mmm.... Anyway, it's this oyster/cheese/breadcrumb thing, but oysters make me gag, so after trying a "no thank you" bite my first time there, I won't touch it.

    @Mrs Sarah McK:  Yeah, I'm not a fan of oysters or seafood in general.  I love the bread stuffing, though!  SO GOOD.

    Family recipe for stuffing made with Bell's seasoning and common crackers.  It's incredibly plain but incredibly delicious.  Soaked in gravy it's even more amazing.  I also love turkey and mashed potatoes.  Ahhh now I'm starving!

    I'm vegetarian, but almost everything at TG except the turkey is (or can be) veggie-friendly! I LOOOVE stuffing, mashed potatoes, apple pie, green beans or asparagus (for some reason we always have one or the other) and homemade bread...drooool.....

    I over do it on mashed potatoes and bread rolls every year! Turkey, ham, gravy, everything is delish! But I don't like stuffing for whatever reason... not sure what that's about?

    Mmm...it is all so good! I love the turkey with fresh cranberry sauce...rustic mashed potatoes with the skins on are the best. I also love the whipped yams, soft homemade rolls, dressing...but my favorite is definitely my dad's pecan pie and my aunt's pumpkin cheesecake!

    @brittromance: Ahhhhh, pecan pie! How could I forget the pecan pie! Love that stuff.

    Oh, and speaking of desserts, my family makes homemade ice cream every Thanksgiving! So yummy. It's awesome as long as you don't get stuck with ice cream bucket duty, haha.

    Turkey, Turkey, Turkey. And my husband's turkey because he puts vegetables in it and his homemade gravy (none of premade crap bleh). With crescent rolls.

    Did I mention turkey??

    I seriously love it ALL,  but to me, it's not Thanksgiving without green bean casserole.  It is by far my favorite!

    I think that stuffing would come in a close second (and I'm talking cheap, simple stove top or pepperidge farm!).  

    Can't wait, and can't believe it's only a week away!

    I've always loved to mix mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, noodles and corn together into one big mess on my plate.  It's good - trust me! :)

    I'm ok with turkey, but it's really all of the only at Thanksgiving sides that I wait for!  Stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and (can't believe I've not seen this one yet!) scalloped corn.

    And then...pumpkin pie too?  No wonder it's my favorite holiday. Like Christmas, but without the shopping.

    EDIT:  Oops, wrote without reading carefully!.  rlsh86 also mentioned corn casserole.  Yum!
