If I was having a large gathering for Thanksgiving and feeling fancy I would do these. It's only going to be my hubby and I. I've never seen the potato bacon roses. I've seen people do it with pepperoni. They're too beautiful to eat.

Just came across your channel today while looking for Thanksgiving side dishes. I loved each and everyone of your recipes. Especially the one with the stuffing in a muffin cup. I'm usualy the only one eating any and this way I could freeze some of the leftovers. I also liked how you scaled the recipes down. I bet if you left the pecan whole for the candied one's they would make a great gift. You could always cut them smaller after they are done. And I subscribed, now I have to watch more of your videos.

I was thinking ditto.
What fabulous recipes you've brought us this week. I have to admit, I really don't like sweet potatoes, its the texture. My favourite dressing is lemon juice with just a touch of olive oil and freshly crushed black pepper. I would certainly love all of the recipes you've made today. Parsnips are a firm favourite of mine, my mum told me that during the war they substituted these for bananas. I wanted to dive in to that Veg au gratin that you made, its definitely going on my Sunday dinner list. (I like to make something a bit more special on a Sunday). I can't use stuffing mixes as I'm allergic to Sage but I could follow your recipe without the sage. I can't thank you enough for sharing these recipes with us. You've just made my christmas dinner menu so much better. Thanks again xxx

19:15 I love all the root veggies you have in this recipe. I'm going to have to try this when our local stores get the veggies in . Parsnips and beets have to be my all time favorites and sweet taters too. Question: do yellow beets taste like the red ones or do they have a different flavor? Ooh, I wonder how fennel would go with that? I like to put it in with the other veggies when I do roasted root veggies.

Right?? They are so pretty
ALL your dishes/recipes look yummy ALL BY THEMSELVES 👍😋. However, as another cook, like you, and because I love to add personal additions/touches to any dish I cook I would add a few tweaks (only because its what I do, NOT because your recipes need them. To me thats what cooking is all about, personalizing your dishes/recipes.) So for your carrot dish I would probably toss all ingredients in a bowl together before baking to ensure even coating, than to simplify the baking process, just wrap in foil and bake them all together for the total bake time. Your root vegetable au-graten looks great. I think my preference would be to toss all the root vegetables together (after their individual prep) for the bake time, thus creating a random surprise element for the eating/taste time, but I would add a tiny bit of crumbled bacon bits on top for final bake time for added flavor and texture. I would tweak the stuffing muffin cups, by adding some diced onions, with a little more broth for added moistness 😊 to the stuffing. My go to seasoning for stuffing is poultry seasoning. Your video is great! 👍 Thanks for sharing.
