Jesus, get a damn food blog already, Sybil. I know.

Here are some awesome things I've lately made. And they weren't even part of my Thanksgiving meal:

Pumpkin Cranberry Bread
2 cups flour
2 eggs
2 cups white sugar
cooked pumpkin, probably a can's worth
1/2 cup chopped cranberries. Dried would work too, I think.
1/2 cup oil of some kind
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp salt
some cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves
Mix this stuff and cook at 350 for an hour

Pumpkin Butterscotch/Chocolate Cookies
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
some cooked pumpkin, again, about a can's worth
i tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butterscotch or chocolate chips
350. 10 minutes or so a batch. Because these don't have any eggs, they are that soft, spongey, muffin-y kind of cookie.

Turkey Meatloaf that doesn't suck
1 lb turkey
1 egg and 1 more egg white
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 smallish onion, sauteed until soft
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp worcestshire sauce
1 clove chopped garlic
1 cup bread crumbs, or crushed up crackers, or oatmeal I think might work ok.
1 tsp marjoram
some salt and pepper
Mash into loaf and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. At which point mix these things together: ketchup, mustard, honey and a little beer. Spoon that mixture on top of meatloaf and cook for another 15 minutes. I also think that it would be just a tiny bit tastier if you had a package of french onion soup mix to throw in like you are supposed to for yummy meatloaf. But this will do without it.
