Bloggy Giveaways! Fall ‘08

   Posted by: MotherHen   in Extra-Categorical

Update: This giveaway is now closed!

Come back on Monday for a new one!

During the month of October I have had a giveaway every week.  This is not how I normally behave.  I normally have a giveaway once a month and it lasts all month long.  But this month was special.  This month I got a new look for my blog.

This is the last week of my weekly giveaways.  I’m thrilled that it just happens to coincide with the Bloggy Giveaways.

This week, I’m giving away a boxed set of DVDs from Vision Forum, How to Disciple Your Family: A Plan for Generational Victory (10 DVD set).

Just click on the image to read about these DVDs.

The Rules

  1. Only one entry per person.
  2. You may have a second entry if you blog about it.
  3. None of this “Enter me!” nonsense.  To enter leave a comment telling me your favorite traditional Thanksgiving dish.
  4. If you’ve never been here before take a few minutes and browse around, maybe you’ll like it here.
  5. This giveaway is limited to the continental 48.
  6. You may enter any time from now up until 5pm CDT  Friday, October 31st, 2008.

I rather like pumpkin bread at Thanksgiving! I also like Pumpkin pie. Hummmm, the only thing I don’t like, is what I don’t have room to eat!

What?! ONE?
It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving dinner without cranberry sauce – the canned jelly kind.
That isn’t very original though…
My mom is the BEST pie maker, and usually makes three kinds at least!
Of those, I am an Apple pie girl!

We are originally from Texas, born and bred, moved to the mid-west last year at Thanksgiving as dh took a small pastorate up here. One of the new things we tried, a favorite up here, raisin pie, definately NOT on our list of favorites. Squash cassarole, or maybe sweet potato with the gooey marshmellow topping. Ok, we may just have to make those a little early this year! Here’s hoping we may get to travel home for the holiday! Nothing is better than Grandma’s traditional dishes!

My favorite Thanksgiving dish would probably have to be my grandmother’s sweet potatoes, covered in pecans and brown sugar. Yum!!

My favorite Thanksgiving Dish was made by my Grams. Oh how I miss her! :o ) The potatoes were cubed and boiled, like for mashed potatoes, then drain. Toss with (cooked) frozen baby peas and white gravy, season with salt & pepper. Nothing fancy, but it’s just Not Thanksgiving with out her dish!

Blessings, Whitney

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is dressing! I like it “dry”, you know what I mean? None of this mushy stuff.
I am a vegetarian now so in recent years I have made a delicious Tofurkey. They are so good! Check out allrecipies.com and search for tofu turkey, you can see a picture I took of the one I made one year!

My mother always made a mandarin orange jello salad, with sherbet in it. It’s completely un-natural, and yet such a comfort food. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter – we always had the mandarin orange jello.

Now that I’m all (mostly?) grown up with a family of my own, I actually bought an ancient copy of her old Jello Cook Book off Ebay so I could make it too!

Thank you for this giveaway – not to be greedy, but I hope I win it!!

My favorite is my grandma’s noodles–They’re wickedly simple (just frozen noodles, the big, fat kind, not the skinny, wimpy egg noodle kind) boiled in chicken broth. But they are SO good!!

I can’t really pick a favorite Thanksgiving dish, because together they just make such a great team! : ) I suppose my grandmother’s mashed potatoes are the yummiest, though! Thank you for such a great giveaway!

Hi, I’d love to win this dvd set for my family and to share with other like-minded families in our church.
My favorite traditional Thanksgiving dish isn’t very traditional for other families most likely, but it’s one that we have always had…stuffed celery with cream cheese and green olives. I look forward to snacking on that while watching the Macy’s Parade. Then, at the main meal, I like the corn bread dressing best. Kathy

Easy choice for me: Broccoli Cheese Casserole! We serve this for almost all holidays and my sister-in-law was the one to introduce our family to it. It is easy to make and so delicious! Now my husband’s family asks me to bring it to everyone of their family functions! LOL! Thanks so much for doing this for us!

Turkey! I LOVE turkey and that is my favorite part of the whole day…although now we raise Turkey’s (on range) so we eat them at least once a month. Makes it not as special on Thanksgiving but I still LOVE turkey all the same. Thanks for the give a way!

I love cranberry relish where you grate an entire orange (peel and all) with the cranberries and add sugar. Yum. I actually had a funny story while living in Russia. A Russian friend and I actually made the same exact relish and brough it to the same Bible study. We were shocked. Usually the cuisine is so different. She and I were convinced that it couldn’t be, but it was–orange and all!

I love to make a healthy dish and a bad dish. This year I will make steamed green beans with a garlic/olive oil saute plus I’ll make green bean casserole with all the fixin’s (cream, fried onions, etc). It always feels good to offer both types!

I’m not sure what my favourite is since I’ve only lived here two years and last thanksgiving I couldn’t eat much because I had morning sickness. I did like the cherry pie my SIL made though.

I have kind of a triple favorite. A bite of fresh juicy turkey, with homemade in the bird stuffing with gravy on top. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Even though it is my favorite it is closely followed by homemade sweet potatos with butter and brown suger, and pumpkin pie with a heaping scoop of whipped cream.

Your give away is great by the way.

I love and devour GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE- but nobody else in the family really likes it! We all love not only the smell but also the actual eating of the turkey! There is something so homey about it – no? We would love to win this for our precious little blessings! This is a wonderful giveaway!
