An early Thanksgiving

Everyone at the Tulsa World is in a good mood today. That's what happens when we're stuffed with turkey and dressing, gravy, casseroles and pies.

Today was the Tulsa World's annual employee Thanksgiving dinner. It's a fun day where the company provides the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls, and the employees bring all of the sides and desserts. It's all spread out among several banquet tables. A true feast.

Here's what I love about Thanksgiving, whether on the real day or a week early: People who never cook find their way to the kitchen. A good friend walked in today with a big smile on her face. "I made stuffing," she said.

And it was really good stuffing, dotted with dried cranberries.

A few other highlights from our early Thanksgiving dinner:
Spoon bread made with chiles and creamed corn
Pea salad, layered with bacon, cheese and lettuce
Pecan tart
Broccoli-cheese casserole
Neiman-Marcus cream cheese brownies

It is always fun. I wish I knew who made this dish that was similar to a trifle,maybe it was a trifle.It had pumpkin,almost like a pudding with all the traditional spices,layered with gingerbread or spice cake(not sure) and whipped cream.It was in a big deep pot. Do you happen to know what it was..or maybe who made it and if they can share the recipe?

When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it. She is excited to explore a new side of Tulsa and make the transition from crime to cuisine. .
