Go against the grain this Thanksgiving with Cornish Hen
Sometimes, Thanksgiving takes a different turn. Perhaps you need to cook for fewer guests, or you don’t have enough refrigerator room for a giant bird. Or maybe you’re simply one of the few Americans who doesn’t especially care for turkey. It’s nice to have a few alternative-to-turkey tricks in the recipe box.

Many ways to bring the local harvest to your Thanksgiving table
“Buy local, eat local,” is a mantra promoted by many localvores (those people who try to eat/shop most of their food locally). And now it’s extended to Thanksgiving. As of earlier this week, The Eat Local for Thanksgiving campaign had 1,500 people pledging to locally source as much as they can find for their Thanksgiving dinners. The Eat Local campaign is promoted by agencies like Puget Sound Fresh, and the Cascade Harvest Coalition. Find the pledge here: www.pugetsoundfresh.org/eatlocal.

Thanksgiving recipes: From your home to ours
We asked readers to send us their favorite Thanksgiving recipes and we were rewarded with more than 50 recipes that spanned everything from no-dairy pumpkin pie to lime Jell-O salad to wild rice with chanterelles and stuffed acorn squash. We don’t have enough space to print all recipes here, so we selected a dozen to feature. Of those, we declared five to be the newsroom favorites for this year’s reader- contributed Thanksgiving recipe section. We tested those five recipes in a home kitchen and found that the recipes will be sure winners for your Thanksgiving table. The authors of those recipes will receive cookbooks for their recipes.Do you have recipes you would like to share? Add them to the comment section of this story, and we’ll put them in the list. When your comment disappears, your recipe will appear in the list. You can also email your recipes to tmcgee@theolympian.com. Questions? Call 360-754-5447; Suggestions? Call 253-274-7380.
