Chef John, it is a shame that home economics is not taught in our schools any more. The kitchen used to be the heart of the home, and meals were a bonding time for the family to come together at supper time. I am old enought to remember those days. To those who value home cooking, and the fellowship of family time, you are an Inspiration. SO many of the old recipes have been lost to time with the passing of our elders, please keep your recipes coming!!

The "Stuffin' Muffins" are a perfect food... They have something from every food group! Bread, veggies, protein (meat/eggs), and gravy!

100% I support cauliflower replacements from the day to day, but I champion Chef John to go authentic for holidays and special occasions.

These make me happy. Thank you, Chef John. Truly, you are the Charlie Pride of the Thanksgiving side.

Chef John's mashed potatoes recipe is no joke.
I used it 2 or 3 years ago for a work potluck and the bossy, older ladies gave me their stamp of approval.

I made the gravy-stuffed stuffing muffins last year. I was told to make those every year from now on. So, so good.

Since everyone in my family likes the corner dinner roll, I find that configuring them in blocks of four works great for one moment of family unity.

😂 my daughter always called them mash uh buttatoes when she was little. My motto has always been “butter makes everything better” and it really does! 🥰🧈

Limey here, Damn, gravy filled stuffing muffins... I gotta start with this Thanksgiving thing, gotta have those! Enjoy your Holidays guys, be safe.

I always use European Butter for special occasions. Like Friday night dinner. Lol

I'm one of those people who like the sweet side dishes at Thanksgiving. *I like the mix of all the different food flavors and textures... **_a bite of this, a bite of that!_** That's what makes Thanksgiving **_Thanksgiving_** to me!*

I made the Green Bean Casserole last year and it was requested again this year. It's insanely good and you can prep most of it the day before.

Just found you today. I have no family, no stove and no fridge so I'm filling my Thanksgiving cravings with food videos.
THIS is the very BEST video of ALL time. No fringe ingredients, no nouveaux pretentious to variations just basic flavors, familiar favorites but, to the highest level for the home cook with some creative improvements by a professional chef to just take it to even higher flavor and artistic magic.
Just PERFECTION.
I will treasure these and hopefully can make them for Christmas.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Tell your family you love them and why often.
YOU never know when they will be gone.

[corinneone]

Thank you Chef John. This was so fun. My daughter and I are making her first Thanksgiving 🦃 in her apartment in NY! Macy’s Parade here we come!

[timothyogden]

Chef John, I am speaking for most all the viewers in saying we all like a little color and texture in our butter. Thank you sir for some great sides for Turkey Day.

[CraigHollabaugh]

Oddly, I serve Chile con Queso at Thanksgiving and people LOVE it. They pour it on turkey, roasted veggies, stuffing, dinner rolls, etc. Thanks for the post.
