Genevieve and her fiber dyeing team of Turtlepurl have sent us an awesome batch of their Turtle Toes striping yarn and Glitter & Stripe yarn! You might remember this yarn as not only coming in fun, trendy colorways, but also in two matching 50g skeins so that you get two perfectly matching socks each time.
One you may be waiting for is What Does it Mean, the gray and double-rainbow-inspired stripe available on Glitter (shown here) and non-glitter.
And, of course, a healthy dose of the Burberry-inspired stripe named Trenchcoat.
Want a chance at winning some of the Trenchcoat stripe for yourself? All you have to do is tell me what Thanksgiving food you can't live without when Turkey Day arrives (and if you aren't in the US, please share something awesome you love to eat this time of year). Are you TOTALLY into sweet potato casserole? What about pumpkin cheesecake? Do tell! Extra gratitude if you give us a link to the recipe so we can try it for ourselves.
Leave me one comment by noon EST on Saturday, November 14th, and I'll chose one person to win! Thanks for playing!
Candied yams. :-) Can't get enough of that gooey sweetness!

I have to have stuffing, cooked in the turkey. It replaces potatoes on my plate and the leftover go into sandwiches.

What can't I live without - homemade cranberry relish. I eat it on toast after Thanksgiving for as long as I can make it last.

Hot open face turkey sandwiches with lots of gravy!
Posted by: Rico Estabrook | November 10, 2015 at 03:29 PM
Not very original, but mashed potatoes and gravy. I use the gravy starter from Williams Sonoma because I can't for the life of me make decent gravy, but my family is sweet enough not to mention it. It's the only time of year I have gravy and eat it with every meal until it's gone - if there's any left!
Posted by: Jude Hartzell | November 10, 2015 at 03:30 PM
It's all about the stuffing for me! My Mom's recipe is my favorite, but I'm not monogamous, I love it any which way - sorry Mom!

I can't wait for my Mom's sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on top! My cousin and I used to fight over the leftovers every year. :)
Posted by: Melanie | November 10, 2015 at 03:37 PM
I live in Switzerland now but we still do Thanksgiving every year, and I must make brussel sprouts with bacon and thyme. This recipe will make everyone love brussel sprouts!
Posted by: Elaine | November 10, 2015 at 03:39 PM
I love Green Bean Casserole - made from the recipe on the back of the Durkee's French Fried Onion Rings can. So simple, but I use frozen green beans instead of canned ones.
Posted by: Leslie | November 10, 2015 at 03:44 PM
That's easy, Stuffing/Dressing! My family makes it with lots of butter, celery, and sage. Simple but tasty.
Posted by: Andrea | November 10, 2015 at 03:44 PM
The one food I cannot live without at Thanksgiving (& Christmas) is potato stuffing. It's an old Irish recipe handed down in my mother's family for generations. Everyone who tastes it loves it. It's mashed potatoes with eggs, onions, & bread cubes mixed in. My mother in law loved it. She remarried shortly after my older daughter was born to a man who liked to cook. She called me up & said she couldn't believe it but her new husband made the exact same stuffings. He also cooked lamb stew the same way I did. His family must've been from County Cork also.
Posted by: Donna | November 10, 2015 at 03:47 PM
Cannot not have Thanksgiving dinner without my Sweet potatoes, layer sweet potatoes, with butter, brown sugar and pecans....and then topped with marshmallows.....yummy....Think of the colors, orange, brown, yellow (butter) and white....aww nice fall colors...What a wonderful dish to eat....
My sister and I make different sweet potatoes...her family likes her dish my family likes mine....always a fight on who gets to bake the sweet potatoes....
Posted by: Carolyn Frank | November 10, 2015 at 03:47 PM
Definitely stuffing! Made just like my mom used to make it (and my Grandpa before her)...it's the best!
Posted by: Suzy | November 10, 2015 at 03:48 PM
Pumpkin pie...the only time of the year I eat it.
Posted by: Julie | November 10, 2015 at 03:49 PM
Pumpkin pie! I have tried many recipes and haven't yet found one that I don't like!

Grandma Ellen's gravy!

Stuffing or dressing and sweet potatoes. And Jellied Cranberry Sauce. The day after Thanksgiving have a turkey sandwich with the cranberry sauce on the sandwich. Yum!
Posted by: Rose Birchall | November 10, 2015 at 03:58 PM
I love TURKEY and stuffing!
Posted by: Heather | November 10, 2015 at 04:02 PM
Pumpkin cheesecake is my favorite. I cook and purée the pumpkin myself instead of using canned. Here is my favorite recipe. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/23046/marbled-pumpkin-cheesecake/print/
Posted by: Melissa | November 10, 2015 at 04:03 PM
Hmm Thanksgiving dinners for me over the past few years have been mostly working in a retail store. I have had poptarts from a vending machine even one year a total goofy night that was. The things that have to be apart of my Thanksgiving dinner is stuffing and cranberry sauce of somekind. Mom has gotten some of the relish kind from the deli but the canned cranberry sauce is good too.
Posted by: Yvonne | November 10, 2015 at 04:03 PM
On Thanksgiving,dressing and gravy is a must! The day after a turkey sandwich!
Posted by: Ann | November 10, 2015 at 04:05 PM
STUFFING! with mushrooms and raisins and water chestnuts. Secret family recipe so no link. Sorry!
Posted by: Anne Marie | November 10, 2015 at 04:07 PM
Well, the pumpkin pie of course!
Posted by: Michelle | November 10, 2015 at 04:08 PM
My mother invented a pumpkin cream pie years ago because she couldn't stand regular pumpkin pie. It's like a vanilla cream pie with pumpkin and brown sugar and pecans and spice, and if any lasts till the next day, it tastes even better.
Posted by: Jane | November 10, 2015 at 04:12 PM
Pumpkin pie with homemade crust. My mom's recipe actually came out of the Good Housekeeping Cookbook. So delicious!
Posted by: Kathleen Reichenbach | November 10, 2015 at 04:16 PM
Gotta be the homemade mashed potatoes and gravy!
Posted by: Lisa p | November 10, 2015 at 04:27 PM
I am absolutely required to consume (and make) a frozen fruit salad that I found in a BHG cookbook in 1981. My family has required it be present at all Thanksgiving gatherings (even when I had to be at my in-laws!)
Posted by: Dari Trout | November 10, 2015 at 04:30 PM
Old-school pumpkin pie, just like on the back of the Libby label. A healthy layer of Cool Whip on top, and usually birthday candles because 5 out of 7 years, Thanksgiving falls on a family member's birthday. This year it is my aunt's birthday - mine will fall on the holiday again in a few years.
Posted by: Beth L | November 10, 2015 at 04:30 PM
I love the combo of turkey and cranberries!
Posted by: Christine C. | November 10, 2015 at 04:36 PM
Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy - any of the extras are just a bonus, but these are a requirement!
Posted by: Stacey | November 10, 2015 at 04:38 PM
Stuffing that my mom made. Have it every Thanksgiving. And always say "thanks mom". A great memory that is now being passed on to my grown sons.
Posted by: Connie Caruso | November 10, 2015 at 04:45 PM
Classic candied sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie made the way my mom made it. As low no as I have those two things, Thanksgiving dinner is a success!

Sister in-law's corn pudding.... To die for!

I mash yams ( sweet potatoes ), butter , pecans, crushed pineapple,and honey, bake it until it is hot and bubbling !!! It is the perfect yummy side with turkey and all other lesser sides!
Posted by: Elizabeth | November 10, 2015 at 04:53 PM
Pies! Pumpkin, Apple, and Pecan! I must have a slice of each! Talk about indulgence!

sweet potatoes with marshmallows - yum.

my Gramma's jellied salad and brussel sprouts. These are a must...along with all of the regulars turkey, sweet potato, stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy....
Posted by: Sheila | November 10, 2015 at 05:08 PM
Turkey dressing! The recipe has been in our family for many, many generations and is a must-have favorite at every Thanksgiving dinner.
Posted by: Linsey | November 10, 2015 at 05:09 PM
Love it all- Turkey, gravy, stuffing, yams, pumpkin pie. But the jewel on the plate is Cranberry sauce. Bonus this year-I'll be making homemade cranberry sauce with wild berries my husband and I picked while kayaking this fall! :)
Posted by: Karen G. | November 10, 2015 at 05:10 PM
My favorite food is my moms cranberry bread! It's moist and pretty and smells terrific! But mostly it reminds me of my mom, hanging out in the warm small kitchen peeling potatoes- garlic mashed potatoes is my second favorite! And laughing with my mom. In the background are the sounds of my brother and dad watching football and my two little sisters running around sneaking treats and squealing! I'd be happy to send the recipe if you like but thanks for making all of us knitters take a minute to remember our best Thanksgivings! Very sneaky😜 have a wonderful Thanksgiving! And yes! I'd be very grateful to get some yarn!!! Pattye

I love pecan pie. I am the one who picks out all the pecans...cannot get enough. Also the wonderful turkey salad sandwiches we would eat as kids after thanksgiving.I am now a vegetarian but just the thought of turkey on challah bread with mayo and crisp lettuce makes my mouth water!
Posted by: Shoshana silberstein | November 10, 2015 at 05:52 PM
Garlic mashed potatoes with gravy--such a tasty thing.
For dessert pumpkin crisp

Sweet potatoes with lots and lots of marshmallows!
Posted by: Sarah T | November 10, 2015 at 05:59 PM
Gravy makes everything on my Thanksgiving plate taste fantastic!
I started using a recipe that came with my Butterball turkey one year, and I've used it ever since! I also add a few teaspoons of 'Better Than Bullion' chicken flavor (bullion cube that's a paste…comes in a jar) Gives it lots of flavor!
Posted by: Geraldine Scott | November 10, 2015 at 06:08 PM
It is the stuffing. Nothing fancy. Has a lot of good memories of sitting around the table, as a kid, and tearing up the bread just so. Carried on with my daughters and now that they are far away my husband still tear up the bread and share memories. Bring on the dressing.
Posted by: RuthAnn | November 10, 2015 at 06:11 PM
Stuffing! Or maybe sweet potatoes! Or pumpkin pie! I can't choose :)
Posted by: Kate s. | November 10, 2015 at 06:18 PM
I love the Italian-inspired dressing we have with turkey. There's no link so I'll try to explain. Saute 1/2 onion, 1 package of dried cramberries, 1 red apple and 2 green apples in butter and white wine. Put aside. Brown sweet Italian sausage and cook until done in the center. Crumble a cake of corn bread and in a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Place into a 9×13 dish. Add turkey or chicken broth until it's about 1/2 way up the side of the dish. Place a few pats of butter on top and place in a 350F oven for 45-60 minutes or until browned and crusty on top.

I cannot live without my mother-in-law's French meat stuffing. It's an old family recipe. Unfortunately, she hasn't shared it with me yet. 😕

Pumpkin pie from the recipe on the Libby's pumpkin label: https://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18470/libbys-famous-pumpkin-pie/ It also needs to be smothered in whipped cream!

Butternut squash soup. Very spicy.
Posted by: mary | November 10, 2015 at 07:06 PM
Stuffing!!! I could skip everything else and just have stuffing with gravy.
I saw a recipe for stuffing muffins today. I won't bother with that recipe - it's vegetarian and gluten free. But the idea of putting my stuffing in muffin tins is intriguing. Dangerous too! What if I had a freezer full of those babies? And little cubes of yummy gravy . . . .
Posted by: JoAnne | November 10, 2015 at 07:07 PM
Sweet potato casserole is my favorite!
Posted by: Denise | November 10, 2015 at 07:26 PM
White meat turkey cooked perfect and moist. If I could have a whole plate of just that I would be a happy girl.

Stuffing is my favorite part of Thanksguvinf dinner, but I discovered the hard way that the part I can't live without is the gravy!!
Posted by: Ramona | November 10, 2015 at 09:10 PM
Please please please don't tell anybody but my secret favorite is a healthy sized serving of Green Bean Casserole. It's probably uncool to like it these days but it is so so good! Now this is just between you and me, right?

Honestly, my favorite thing about the feast is the leftovers! Mmmm... Hot turkey sandwiches. Shepherds pie. Caesar salad with hunks of turkey. Mashed potato patties. LOVE!
I've had my eye on a skein of turtlepurl yarn for quite some time. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

Apple pie. My daughter makes it, and I know she's always tweaking the recipe, so I don't have one to share. I do love pumpkin soup this time of year too, I actually have some simmering on the stove right now! Here's the recipe. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/9191/pumpkin-soup/
You absolutely HAVE to use fresh pumpkin, not the canned stuff. Butternut or a similar squash will do as well.
Posted by: Wendy | November 10, 2015 at 09:36 PM
All of it?
We tried to weed down the menu, and once everyone added their favorites, we didn't actually drop any recipes. So, Turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, rolls, broccoli casserole, squash casserole, pumpkin pie.
Posted by: Teresa Co | November 10, 2015 at 09:41 PM
It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without stuffing cooked in the bird and cranberry sauce. Could live on those two alone.
Love Turtlepurl yarn. Have had my eye the Trenchcoat colorway.
Posted by: Carol Coombs | November 10, 2015 at 09:43 PM
Mashed potatoes with a well of gravy. The potatoes aren't rich with cream and butter the way they used to be, but I still love them. They are best run through a ricer then just whipped with a fork to mix in the butter and milk or stock.
Posted by: Martha Anne | November 10, 2015 at 09:44 PM
For Canadian Thanksgiving, we always make sugar pie for dessert...my grandmother's recipe :)

What we call pumpkin custard but is really pumpkin pie filling without the pie crust - delicious and not hugely fattening. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Lisa B | November 10, 2015 at 10:33 PM
First I have to say my daughter would love that sparkly rainbow yarn!!!! I'd say I most look forward to my mom's dressing/stuffing, and also the traditional green bean casserole. And my new-ish tradition of making homemade cranberry sauce!!!
Posted by: Lauren | November 10, 2015 at 10:45 PM
I could make a meal of stuffing/dressing -- and I have! I combine all the ends of bread in the freezer with fresh cornbread, add some veggies and dried fruit and it's never the same twice, but always delicious.
