This was so enjoyable...but I feel as though I've cooked Thanksgiving with you! Always interesting to see what others do on preparation for a holiday. I have started cooking potatoes in chicken broth for added flavor. Over the years I've tweeked the menu a bit for changing of ages of people eating, and also, moving from north to south and adding regional items as the family has been joined by those with different tastes. A certain amount of familiarity is appreciated by all.
Hello good morning, greetings to you and your family. My dear sweet lady, you can cook,l was watching you for hours, l do see people who can cook you are number one, and you cook with love ,more grease to your elbow .Please keep up the good work,.May our heavenly father give you more strength and energy to keep on teaching our young ones how to cook. I LOVE YOU. REMAIN BLESS AND SAFE. Thanks Mercy Awah.
I enjoyed watching your video, you have a pleasant personality and warm voice which makes me feel as though I'm spending time with my favorite relative or close friend. Your recipes are easy to follow and looks delicious. I'll give the Mashed potatoes a try. Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours 😘
I put cranberry sauce on everything...yam slices with c sauce warmed; waffle, vanilla Ice cream and warm c sauce, in homemade beverages, as a jam, cornbread with c sauce, as jelly or in holes.
Thank you Deb. Are you getting prepped for the holiday? Which one of these dishes will you try for your Thanksgiving dinner? Oh…I’m glad you like this video. I wanted to put most things in one place so people didn’t have to look around. Thank you for letting me know this is working for you.
I enjoyed watching this video while I cook with you when you tasted the turkey very nice lady thank you for letting me in your home and watching you cook wish you were my grandmother my grandmother❤
Thank you Denise for sharing how you prepare your Thanksgiving dinner. I know how greens are very good for you, I don’t know why those of us up here in N.E. don’t include them in our menu OR that delicious macaroni and cheese. Wishing you and family a very Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃
I’m going to make my Mac and cheese like you did. Mine always comes out too dry. Now I see I don’t put enough liquid. And I might try the dressing too. I’m just baking turkey wings with carrots, celery, onions and green apples with sage, rosemary, and thyme. It’s just me and my daughter so I don’t need a lot of food. Maybe I’ll make some green beans too.
Rosalind, that sounds like plenty. Make enough for Thanksgiving and a little extra for leftovers so you can have one day free of cooking. Put on your apron and do whatever you do and send me a picture. I’d love to see.
Generally you are right. But if you do add to much salt to something with broth peel a whole potato and dunk it in. It will soak up a lot of the salt as it cooks. If you want tomatoes also work but would be harder to remove than a whole potato.
@@homemakingwithdenise Denise, I have everything planned already (I'm doing a Monday through Thursday "what to do" on my channel...my itty bitty channel!) so the closest to what you showed that I'm doing is the sweet potatoes casserole. But, I bookmarked your video so I can attempt a couple of different ones for Christmas! xxoo
I made a turkey breast...and did not have enough drippings for flavoring the stuffing and to make a gravy. So I put it all on the stuffing and only had a little bit of turkey. I did get a box of bone broth, chicken it is blackgarlic and mushroom flavored. The only problem...almost out of stuffing...
Denise do you have any tips for keeping bread rolls hot on the table? Hot, butter-melting rolls are my favorite part of any meal but they get cold so fast. I tried the microwaved dried beans hack. That really worked but only for 20 minutes and it smelled like scorched beans.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, but have a suggestion. To ensure the uninitiated understand, I suggest you clarify that you mean smoked turkey drumstick and smoked turkey tails for seasoning! You don't want a first-timer to try to season with "fresh" unsmoked turkey parts. I'm 72 and raised in the south, but I just learned a couple of years ago about smoked turkey parts as a substitute for ham hocks! I loved your recipes though. Thanks so much for posting this.
Oh my goodness. You are so right. I usually make sure to indicate the difference for my young homemakers. I’ll be sure to mention this in future videos. Thank you for the reminder.
I've never seen carrots put in dressing. So, basically you replaced the bell peppers with carrots? I may have to try that; although, I like bell peppers. The honey on the turkey is also interesting.
Yes. I like the sweetness of carrots more so than peppers in dressing. But please note they are finely chopped so almost imperceptible. Also, since I don’t sauté them they must be finely chopped to be tender.
Really! So many people do have mashed potatoes but I don’t always. With sweet potatoes and potato salad mashed potatoes are not necessary except for the people (like my son) who don’t eat either one.
Momma Denise can you please let us know what type of salt you use fir your cornbread and why? I ask this because I use Iodized salt for my cornbread to bring out the cor n flavour.
@@homemakingwithdenise Yes. I have tried them and smoked wings n or legs before. I just wanted to be sure of timing. Thank you so much for all of your videos.

Thank you. I enjoyed sharing each of these dishes. Which one or two will you try?

Good. I’ll have to checkout your channel. We all have something to share.
OMG, your cooking looks so tempting 😋!!!
Hahaha! Thank you. Try one or two of the dishes and let me know what you think.
Hope you had a Beautiful Thanksgiving Denise !
You are an Inspiration.

It was. Everything was so good. Which fish or dishes will you make?
Wow, you betta do it Mrs. Jordan! Your family is very lucky and blessed. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the inspiration.
I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving. I do enjoy cooking for my family. Which dish will you try?
I love that zester! Do you happen to have a link as to where you bought it? Also love that apron! Can't wait to get one!
What kind of desserts do you fix? I fix pumpkin pie for my husband and peanut butter pie for me.

My beloved mama made homemade all my life I am 76 .
Thanks Denise. I didn’t know that you added chili sauce to your greens. I'll have to start doing the same.
Oh yes. Chili sauce adds such great flavor but none of the heat. Do try it and let me know what you think.
And that sounds good to o

Is your countertop part cutting board? I notice you will cut up foods and don't use a protective covering.
😋👍👍👍👍👍
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Same to you! Which one of these dishes will you try?

@@homemakingwithdenise Honestly I've never added mashed potatoes to my Thanksgiving dinner and I think I will this year. Thank you for the idea.

It’s just Morton’s Iodized salt. That’s what I use most often or sometimes, sea salt. Nothing special.
@@homemakingwithdenise okay thanks.
Thank you Ms Denise. Green Beans: how long did you simmer the turkey tails?
Hello there. I probably simmered the smoked Turkey tails about 30 to 40 minutes. Are you going to try them?
@@homemakingwithdenise Yes. I have tried them and smoked wings n or legs before. I just wanted to be sure of timing. Thank you so much for all of your videos.
Never heard of "carrots flavoring" greens!🙄
Washing turkey is good and sanitary. It is just that the entire counter surface has to be thoroughly washed.
Exactly. I scrub it all down with Clorox Kitchen Cleaner. And I was hands frequently.
