The beets and greens were especially good, and I may figure a way to incorporate some of their essence into the holiday dinner.<br /><br />Don't you mean USED to like fat? You're reformed now. Coconut oil IS a big hunk of grease, though a tasty one to be sure. The apple pie was a little too mushy for me — I prefer my apples to be tender but still hold their shape, but the crust was flaky, flaky, flaky.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-57530907146486158772011-10-21T20:33:25.512-07:002011-10-21T20:33:25.512-07:00Tradition, shmadition!

Unfortunately, not a single member of my family agrees with me, so I never do have my way!<br /><br />Gosh, these items look great, though, particularly the beets and greens!<br /><br />I like fat a lot, as you know, but coconut oil seems so...solid somehow, like a big chunk o' grease. The pie really does look awesome, however, and anything with "caramelized" in it pretty much guaranteed to be delicious, IMO.Zoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557356294473311104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-19947691798605515212011-10-21T16:36:46.757-07:002011-10-21T16:36:46.757-07:00Molly,

Living in WY it isn't a local option.

The taste always is "off" to me, like I can taste the fat rather than other flavors. <br /><br />We do make our own food for the holidays sometimes, but only if we feel like it. We really don't celebrate them too much.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380657062351771136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-90656314587930830192011-10-21T09:29:27.020-07:002011-10-21T09:29:27.020-07:00Foodfeud,

Or change up something like salad, that doesn't seem so specific. The pate is quinoa-based, with lots of mushrooms and nuts. Very tasty!<br /><br />Jenny,<br />Roasted veggies are a favorite around here, too, and not just on Thanksgiving.<br /><br />I know what you mean about not wanting to know how much fat is in the recipe. I may make the HH version of fat-free pumpkin pie again this year, but amp up the flavors.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-49736871898885397842011-10-21T07:37:13.899-07:002011-10-21T07:37:13.899-07:00We have our usual Thanksgiving dishes we make. And...We have our usual Thanksgiving dishes we make. And then maybe I'll one or two things new that I've seen around blogs, etc. I really like the look of everything you made in class. My husband would never want me to dismiss roasted veggies at Thanksgiving. They are a must. <br /><br />I think that's why I buy the premade pie crusts. I can't handle seeing how much fat is in the recipe. I'm also to the point I don't think I like oily dressings at all. I've made a few lately trying to be a good cook and follow a recipe from a book that includes a salad dressing. And I use it that one time and never finish it. I like the creamier, no-oil dressings better.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320336368732794711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-78157174917999024812011-10-20T20:50:18.123-07:002011-10-20T20:50:18.123-07:00Hm, we definitely have dishes that need to be at e...Hm, we definitely have dishes that need to be at each respective holiday table but it is nice to change things around a little bit - it's probably best to start small like you say - with a salad or an hors d'oeurve. Actually, last Christmas my sister made a new salad similar to the one you show here with pomegranate seeds which was really nice.<br />That pate sounds pretty interesting. It looks almost quinoa based.foodfeudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589414740603993442noreply@blogger.com
