Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is next week!
It will also mark the 2 year anniversary of me filming and posting videos on this blog of how to incorporate Traditional Cooking techniques in your home.
The very first video I posted was of me making turkey stock with my leftover Thanksgiving turkey bones!
That video was a total lark but folks responded so positively that I decided to start doing them regularly!
I thought it might be nice to round up all those Thanksgiving related posts into one place including any videos. I hope you find something in this list that makes your Thanksgiving hosting duties next week a bit more manageable!
Video: How to Make Turkey Stock: Don’t laugh – this was my VERY FIRST video for this blog about 2 years ago. The info is great but I am a serious dweeb on camera! I’ve hopefully improved a bit since then.
Video: Fermented Potatoes: If you have trouble with mashed potatoes, try this recipe. It makes all that starch a lot more digestible with the bonus of enzymes and probiotics from the fermentation process.
Video: How to Make Gravy: My hubby gets into the act and shows you his awesome gravy making skills in this video!
Pumpkin Pie: What is Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie? This recipe shows you how to make the best tasting pumpkin pie without that nasty evaporated milk from the supermarket!
Pumpkin Cookies (Grain Free): If pumpkin pie is not your thing, try these festive pumpkin cookies instead! Or hey, make both. Your guests will be happy I’m sure.
Pumpkin Bread: Anything pumpkin is a go for Thanksgiving, so if you have some leftover pumpkin puree from making the pies or cookies, try this pumpkin bread recipe.
Get Creative with Leftover Turkey: This post is a recipe for my homemade turkey salad.
Oh, and don’t forget ….
If you’re flying to your Thanksgiving destination next week, remember to insist on an opt out of the naked body scanners even if TSA agents tell you that they don’t do any pat downs! It is your fundamental right, and they can’t deny your request. Don’t be a lemming like me and go through the machine by mistake!

Just watched your making stock recipe again – your first one. You are not a dweeb at all. In fact, I liked it because I felt I was visiting you in your kitchen and you were just talking to me, rather than reading a scriptl I have been making my own stock for a couple of years – the only difference is that I let the stock sit for 30 minutes after adding the vinegar and before putting it on the heat. I’ll check Nourishing Traditions for turkey to make sure that is still correct.
Thanks again for all the good info you share with us.
Letting it sit for a few minutes first is how the French do it and I tend to do that myself too unless I’m in a rush. For someone making it the first time, skipping that is ok though to just get started with the routine.

what is the purpose behind letting it sit after adding the vinegar? Thanks!
My kids make fun of me when they watch that video. LOL The mayo video is the most hilarious though. You learn over time what works and what doesn’t in front of the camera. I obviously had no prior training!
Glad you find it helpful .. yes – I did intend it to be an informal chat type thing.

Nice of you to do that! Thanks!
Liked the video where your husband makes gravy! it is great to see him helping you in the kitchen, my husband only does mashed potatoes, and barbeque and meat over fire in the summer, the rest is up to me LOL.
I also had success making gravy with stock and tapioca starch, turns out really well, the kids love it!

I tried the pumpkin cookie recipe recently and I must have done something wrong. I used all arrowroot and it was super runny when I was finished the recipe. I ended up adding a bunch more arrowroot and even some almond flour, but it still wasn’t thick enough for a cookie, so I baked it in a pie pan. Arrowroot is some interesting stuff! I find it has a very gummy consistency. Any tips on using it succesfully?
I don’t see one of my favorites included in your roundup… fermented mashed potatoes. Love those!
Oh yes!!!!! I totally forgot that one … will go and add. Thanks for reminding me Barbara

Oh no….did you go through the scanners at DFW? I refused them at both O’hare to Dallas and at DFW back to O’Hare! Got the pat down, no big deal. Don’t wear a skirt or dress, wear jeans and a tshirt and things are ok.
Just like the vaccines, they make you think there is no option to opt out with them!
No Shots, No School…..NOT TRUE!!!! All states have exemptions! http://www.vaclib.org or http://www.nvic.org or http://www.vaxtruth.org (I may have gotten the .org mixed up on the first 2 try .com if .org does not work).
Unrelated question, I hope you don’t mind. My grandfather is 80 and going through chemo therpay for bladder cancer. Would the Beiler Broth or Potassium Broth be good options for him? Is one better than another? Is there an article that you might be able to point me to for reading? Thank you all you do. You affecting numerous generations!
I’ve used this soaked pie crust recipe with great results. http://www.cookinggodsway.com/pate-brisee-pie-crust-soaked/. I thought I’d share in case anyone was looking for a soaked crust. I used spelt instead of whole wheat (increased the flour by a few TBSP) and it was very good. Next time I may reduce the butter by a TBSP or so.
Thank you for the recipes. We really do have similar taste. First thing I noticed were my plates included in this photog!!
Good collection! They sounds like perfectly wonderful to me!
