Here’s Confluence’s contribution
I try, every year, to make a familiar recipe with a twist. Green Beans Almandine will be taking the place of the standard Green Bean Casserole this year!
Green Beans Almandine
2 cans of cut green beans
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 package of slivered almonds
1 onion, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Fry the bacon and set aside.
In the bacon grease sauté onion and slivered almonds until the almonds are lightly browned. Use as much or as little almonds and onions as you like.
Drain the green beans and add to the pan with the almonds and onions. Add the bacon. Let it simmer for 15-20 mins then serve

Sweet Potato Casserole

Not everyone likes sweet potatoes, but I think they're delicious. I love eating this dish for fall and winter holidays.

Vetrarnætur Stew
https://www.tfrecipes.com/viking-stew/

This has been a stew made every Winter Nights/Vetrarnætur festival in my family since I can remember. Now that I live in the US, I make the stew every Thanksgiving for my extended American family here. This is the best and closest recipe I found in English in case others want to try it! It's really delicious, warming, filling, and fits in with Thanksgiving well.

Icecream Sandwich Casserole

I know this isn't quite a dinner recipe, but it's got "casserole" in the title, so I think it could be argued as a main dish :)) This is something I used to help make with my grandma when I was little. It is extremely easy and requires no baking or cooking

Ingredients:
- Icecream sandwiches
- Coolwhip
- Chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
You'll need a casserole dish and a freezer.

Take your casserole dish and line the bottom with the icecream sandwiches (you may need to cut some to fit). Then add a layer of Coolwhip. Drizzle the chocolate and caramel sauce over the Coolwhip. Lead with your heart for how much chocolate and caramel to add. Then begin the next layer of icecream sandwiches, Coolwhip, and chocolate and caramel drizzle. Just keep layering until you run out of space! I recommend to try to make the last chocolate and caramel drizzle pretty with some nice zig zags, but again, it's important to lead with your heart on this step. Once your layers are done, put it in the freezer for at least an hour. Then it's ready to go!
Bonus: if you have any icecream sandwiches left that didn't fit, you can eat those while your waiting! =P~

Mac and Cheese

1lb Cheddar Cheese
1/2 An Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic, Smashed
1/2 A Cup Butted
1/3 Cup Flour
1 1/2 cup Whole Milk
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
8oz Cream Cheese
2lbs Pasta
Salt
Pepper

Sauce
Chop the onion finely and sauté it in the butter, with the smashed, but whole, pieces of garlic. Sauté until the onions are browned. Pull the chunks of garlic from the mixture, before adding the flour. Stir all the flour in and let it sit on low heat, until it starts to bubble up. Add the milk and cream. Stir until thoroughly combined. Cook on medium to low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens. Add the cheese, shredded mixes easier, but chunks work just as well. Mix the cheese until the mixture is smooth. Add the cream cheese. If using a block (highly recommend) chop into cubes. Mix into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pasta
Boil a pot of water while making the sauce. Add in a spindle of salt while it boils. When the water is in a boil, add the pasta. Cook the pasta until it is tender, but not mushy. Drain it thoroughly. Avoid leaving the pasta in the hot water to long, to avoid over cooking.

Combine the sauce and pasta and you’ve got a yummy meal.

If you wish to bake it:
Add the mac and cheese to a baking dish. Mix bred crumbs and shredded cheese. Bake at 350 until the top is bubbly

THE most controversial dish at my family gatherings! I present:

Macaroni Fruit Salad

1 package macaroni rings, cooked and drained
1 #303 can crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice)
1 #303 can fruit cocktail, drained (reserve juice)
2 c. mandarin oranges, drained (reserve juice)
2 tbs. lemon juice
2 tbs. flour
1/2 c. sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 pkg. miniature marshmallows
1 pint whipped cream

Combine lemon juice, flour, sugar and juices. Cook until thick. Remove from heat, add eggs and heat again. Cool slightly, then add macaroni and fruit. Chill several hours. Add marshmallows and whipped cream. Chill overnight.

You will like it, or you will hate it. There is no "meh." Me? I like it. It's weird. Except the grapes from the fruit cocktail. Those are not good.

Follow me for more "our family was poor!" recipes! :)

This is a plain old regular traditional Thanksgiving dish, but I make it every year for my dad. It's his mother's recipe, she made every year until she couldn't and then she shared with me so daddy could still have it every year.

Grandma's Whole Cranberry Sauce
Fresh orange juice from 2 oranges, add enough water to make 1 cup liquid
3/4 cup sugar
1 (12 oz) bag fresh or frozen cranberries (do not use dried)
Zest of one orange (tip: zest the second orange and dehydrate or freeze for later use)
Splash of vanilla (maybe 1/2 teaspoon)
Pinch of salt

Bring juice and sugar to a boil over high heat, until sugar is dissolved. Add berries, zest, vanilla and salt, return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cook at a low boil for approximately ten minutes or until most berries have burst. Stir frequently. You may mash them gently with a spoon. Transfer to dish and chill until ready to serve. I usually make it the day before, it can keep for a week or slightly longer covered in the refrigerator or frozen for a couple months.

- Cook green beans for 3-5 minutes.
- Drain the green beans and immediately place them into a large bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process.
