I am alarmed to see that there is no reference to beef broth or ground italian sausage on this list.

Strange days indeed... think

You never know what comes out of that box! What if chef boiardi was a WH? would you eat anything a WH prepares!?
Do not risk it, make it from scratch...and leave the cottage cheese out with the sausage, spices and broth...

OMG, Mel you are hysterical....I remember when I first got married and used (dare I say this on atenas thread) JARRED SAUCE!!!! My H was mortified....then I went over his moms for dinner and she used CANNED POTATOES...Blech...I am half Irish and would NEVER use CANNED POTATOES....I never even knew that there was such a thing...

She makes Thanksgiving dinner with no stuffing and no potatoes...WTH!!!!!!! She makes Turkey now though...but with soup and artichokes and who knows what else...I eat over my aunts..no way will Me and DS have Thanksgiving without REAL mashed taters,stuffing and cranberry sauce shaped like a can...NO WAY!!!

Now MIL used BAGGED ready made(just add water) MASHED POTATOES...OMG what is this world coming too....and I now would never use jarred sauce. I am proud to say Chef Boyardee is not allowed in my house...even though I grew up on it.

On thanksgiving with my family we would have antipasto, holiday soup (meatball and escarole) and then at the end would be all the turkey and trimmngs. Did I say I had a weight problem???

Here we just make the turkey but when I go home for Christmas it will be a food fest for a week. Did I say carbs

I know right. I tell people that I can NOT eat something that looks like someone else ate it and threw it up. YUCK

Funny thing about spaghetti Os in my house. My kids think that they don't like sauce so I call it soup. HEHEHEHE

Thanksgiving and Christmas isn't right without the turkey, REAL mashed potatoes, corn, pilsbury crescent rolls, stuffing and REAL cranberry sauce. It doesn't matter what you make the gravy with, I eat the cranberry sauce on EVERYTHING. wink
