Thanksgiving time recipes
*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***
A large part of the polulation of people look forward
on Thanksgiving to having the same popular dishes each
year... that's one of the things that make it traditional
so don't go pulling out all the favorites for all kinds
of new stuff all at once. I recommend either replacing
one or two dishes each time, or trying some "TWISTS" on
the traditional favorites like this great CHEESY CREAMED
CORN CASSEROLE instead of plain corn. Ultimately, it's
the actual point of gathering together that matters most.

BENEFITS OF USING A MEAT THERMOMETER
It is best to use a meat thermometer instead of continuously
cutting into your roast or turkey just to see if it is done
cooking. No more guessing and the the benefits of making this
minor investment will prevent food borne illness and
overcooked food.
A meat thermometer can be used for all foods too. It measures
the internal temperature of your cooked meat and poultry, or
any casseroles, to assure that a safe temperature has been
reached and that harmful bacteria like certain strains of
Salmonella and E. Coli O157:H7 have been destroyed. Use it
every time you prepare foods like poultry, roasts, ham,
casseroles, meat loaves and egg dishes.
