Spiffy_spoonz_2 This giveaway is closed.

Congratulations to Carol.

I love today’s giveaway. In fact, I’m really almost ready to chuck the giveaway and keep these things for myself. They are that gorgeous. I won’t, though, because I love my readers and I’m happy you’re here, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.

Today’s giveaway is a set of serving pieces from Spiffy Spoonz: I’m offering the pie server and the slotted spoon. They have coordinated beading in green and black. The slotted spoon has a round green bead with black spots; the pie server has three small square beads in the same green, black, and a deep red that looks almost black. Beautiful!

Holly Loyd is my personal friend and the genius behind Spiffy Spoonz. She hand-beads each piece and even does custom orders. If you don’t win here, please consider buying something from her site for yourself or a teacher or a secretary or as a stocking stuffer or whatever. I’m sure you’ll find a reason!

Are you interested in winning? Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite Thanksgiving side dish is (recipes welcome, but not mandatory). That’s it. Easy peasy. You won’t win if you don’t follow that rule. Comments like "I wanna win" or "Pick me" won’t be chosen.

Also, don’t enter more than once because duplicate entries will mean that you don’t get any
entries. Just so you know and all. And no anonymous comments because,
hello? How can I contact you if you’re anonymous? Just sayin’.
   

Finally, the rest of the rules:

  • This giveaway is open to US residents only because I’m nothing if not cheap.
  • You don’t have to be a blogger to play along, but you do have to have an e-mail address.
  • I’ll pick a winner on Friday, October 31 (or Saturday, November 1) and contact you that same day via
    e-mail. You have four days to respond. If I don’t hear from you by
    then, I’ll have to choose a new winner. Make sure you’re checking your
    spam folder.

Don’t forget to check out the other giveaways at the Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival!

Ohhhh, what Thanksgiving dish isnt my favorite?! I love, love, love turkey, dressing, and gravy…must have all of it together on each bite. I also love pumpkin pie, with whipped cream of course!

The one dish I can reliably turn out is the pumpkin pie!

Those are beautiful and I seriously want them! :)
Here is the recipe for one of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes:
Catherine’s Sweet Potato Cranberry Streusel
One 49 ounce can of sweet potatoes, drained (I use fresh and mash them)
one bag of fresh cranberries, washed and drained and sort out the bad ones
one stick butter, melted
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Combine brown sugar, oatmeal, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. In a 2.5 quart casserole dish, combine sweet potatoes and cranberries with half of the sugar mixture. Combine the rest of the sugar mixture with the melted butter and put it on top of the sweet potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly. You can also make this in a crockpot, as I found out yesterday, but mix it all up rather than putting some of the streusel on top because it won’t get crispy anyway.

I found a few recipes that look yummy for potatoes and stuffing in the Martha Stewart magazine this month that I want to try too.

17 Cara Putman October 30, 2008 at 10:42 pm

Thanks for the chance to win.

26 Kristen October 31, 2008 at 9:01 am

I don’t know if this counts, but the gravy my uncle makes. I am not a mashed potato fan, but if that gravy is there I will eat tons of mashed potatoes just to have the gravy. Thanks for the great giveaway.

27 Beth M October 31, 2008 at 9:03 am

My fave, hands down, is my Dad’s juicy turkey. Thanksgiving just isn’t Thanksgiving without it. (This year I’ll be in India for Thanksgiving, so it definately won’t be Thanksgiving–I’m holding out for Christmas!)
Hope I’m not to late for the drawing! Just found your site.

32 Paige October 31, 2008 at 9:51 am

34 tricia October 31, 2008 at 10:22 am

Have to stick with a classic:
Mashed potatoes

Our favourite T-giving side dish is Pioneer Woman’s recipe for mashed potatoes, which contains cream cheese, seasoning salt, cream, and lots of butter. Mmmmmm.

36 Ang October 31, 2008 at 10:50 am

37 Chantelle October 31, 2008 at 11:09 am

My favorite side dish at Thanksgiving is cream corn. Not that stuff your mom used to dump out of a can, but real corn (ok, so it’s frozen), real whole milk, real cream and real butter. It is sooo creamy and delicious. I can’t wait!!

42 Shay Williams October 31, 2008 at 12:35 pm

My favorite dish is the creamed onions.

43 Juicebox.mom October 31, 2008 at 1:05 pm

My favorite is the turkey. I love turkey!
But it also means that the next day I get to have a leftover turkey/cranberry sauce sandwich.
yummmmm-y!

47 Davina Perret October 31, 2008 at 2:54 pm
