Thanksgiving is not about the food, it is about the people you share it with. Some years that is just a nice memory to be grateful for.

[@rebeccanorton2892]

I don't know why people have to be critical about your cooking ways. It is so fun to watch you enjoy what you are doing. You should see me in the kitchen. I make a mess.

[@bryanreighn3498]

I know it’s difficult, but no need to talk about people that give you a hard time. You bring plenty of joy to plenty of people. Don’t worry about the little things.

[@matthewmarzani332]

Offend us that that’s your Thanksgiving?!?! Of course we aren’t offended! I am so honored that you are celebrating an American holiday, and made such a beautiful and delicious meal I am tearful. Thank you so much. God bless. 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇸🇪

[@reckyNcarol]

Thank you Matthew 🤗💕

[@elainelee7250]

It does not matter what food you have for Thanksgiving. The day is all about being thankful for all you have in your life.

[@dillodefense]

Thankgiving is best when everyone contributes to the feast. Best part is that we ALL help cleaning up the mess.

[@jsb3845]

I made ham green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, rolls, deviled eggs, and banana bread and cheese cake for dessert. It turned out good. I was blessed with my son that wasn't around for 20 years. What a blessing.

[@doratiscareno5856]

I'm REALLY HAPPY that you got to see your SON💕 .... my son walked away at 18...... i haven't seen him since then..... HE just turned 45 on November the 9th I never realized how much HE hated me... when I'm the one that made sure HE got into the Air Force that HE wanted so bad I made sure I got HIM prepared to get their... I put HIM in the fire department at 14... then at 16...i put HIM in the local police department At 18 HE took the test...PASSED IT the First Time And He LEFT....WITHOUT EVEN SAYING GOOD BYE😞 I have NOT SEEN HIM in 27 yrs😔 I hear HE'S married now And I have grandchildren I will Never See😞 I'm sure to cope with HIS new love and life He's Told Them I'm DEAD...It just makes it easy again for "Him" I just turned 70... He has chose to leave me alone ...to deal with this by myself IM STILL HIS MOTHER I cant change what has happened...but I can continue to wish him the best

Hello! I have a friend who grills on Thanksgiving while my family has fish instead of turkey. The beauty of life is that you can make your own traditions that make the holidays memorable.

[@Tee-cl6dc]

I come from New England and always had a seafood feast but I moved to West Virginia so that's not a option anymore unless I buy it frozen 🙄😢 I figured it's my holiday too a turkey was such a big mess and exhausting. So I made that during the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving and coming holidays

[@hawkuser604]

The only time I ran into Swedes while in the US Army was in Bosnia back in 2004-05. The Swedish military had a ground unit that maintained their trucks and their shop burned to the ground right after we, USA, had turned over the control of the base to the EU and Finland was the command. Nobody offered them any help except us and we were the only aviation on the base for the US that was left behind for Special Ops things. We gave them one of our aircraft hangers and all the tools that we could scrounge up since most of our forces had left and we had plenty of tools for vehicle maintenance still there. We were down to 6 aircraft (Black Hawks and Apaches) so we squeezed them into 2 hangars so they had the other one. They were great guys and we taught them about American football and had lots of good times on the holidays together, not to mention the not so legal Black Hawk rides we gave them! Most of the Swedes had never met an American before and had assumed that we were arrogent A-holes.. somewhat true, but we are the first ones to step up and help when it is needed!

[@matthewmarzani332]

[@lisab.9956]

While people have Thanksgiving foods they like, the day is about having a thankful heart for goodness in your life & sharing a meal & time with loved ones. You two can be thankful no matter what foods you choose to eat for your meal & no one should be upset about it.

[@rosemariediamond5948]

So wonderful that you honored us with your version of thanksgiving. You show such respect when you do things like this. As always your video made me happy! Love watching you enjoy new recipes and flavors. But I like it even more that you combine your culinary culture in with ours. If the world acted more like you two, then it would be a better place!

[@lindacarroll6896]

You are doing much better with reading the instructions and preparing ahead. The proof is that Carol is less stressed and makes less annoyed sounds. Kind of joking. Truly, you are getting more and more relaxed and more and more adventurous.

[@manjisaipoe517]

Ok, american can openner goes on the list! For Thanksgiving the wife and I had Turkey with raisin stuffing, greenbean casserole and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Simple meal for two people, and the leftovers have given us full meals for 5 days, last day only lacking the GBC, so making mashed potatos for the side. Peace. By the way, we sometimes eat brussel sprouts fresh and cold, and in the winter, sometimes when still partially frozen. Its all relative, but both brussel sprouts, and asparagus are better with bacon! Heck, shoes are better with bacon!!😂

[@dgray2228]

Thanksgiving menu: Roasted turkey, baked ham, cornbread dressing, deviled eggs, green bean casserole. mashed potatoes, Mexican street corn, broccoli cheese casserole, cranberry sauce, giblet gravy, mac and cheese, homemade yeast rolls. Deserts were chocolate silk pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, German chocolate cake, Blackberry jam nut cake and banana pudding. There were 57 people for dinner. After the meal the people not involved in the food prep did the clean up and dishes. We then sat down and played gin, canasta, poker, and jinga. Couple hours after the meal we had desert and coffee. We had our thanksgiving on Saturday. We always go and volunteer in the soup kitchens to feed the homeless on Thanksgiving day. We basically will do this all again on Christmas.

[@BarleyMonster]

Carol’s laugh is everything!! Never stop laughing. ✌🏼

[@juanitakirk8421]

You guys re precious! You offend no one by making food substitutions! Thanks giving was many different things based on availability to the pilgrims. They were thankful for the bounty of the harvest, and the native Americans thought them how to grow their own food and work the land. They gave thanks for all of their blessings. Food surpasses cultural boundaries, and traditional foods. We all do the best with what is available in our regions, and seasons, adapt it to our tastes. The most wonderful thing we can do is share our traditions, and flavor we each develope with sometimes even the same foods adjusted to our own taste! What you guys prepared was a wonderful variety of the foods you are thankful for! You’ve done a wonderful job at fusing your traditional holiday dessert (Fika) with things your American friends have shared with you. That is the spirit of Thanksgiving! Love to you both from Columbus Ohio, looking forward to your next adventure! Thanks for including us and sharing! 💜🥰☮️

[@reckyNcarol]

Thank you so much Juanita ♥️

[@sandralorenz1796]

Miss Carol's eyes get so big when she really enjoys the taste of something. Thanksgiving doesn't have to be a huge meal. Watching you enjoy new foods is entertaining. Things we in the U.S. take for granted are totally new to y'all.

If people think you should read carefully ahead of time, I can almost bet that is what they do when they cook. Me? I read ahead of time to make sure we have the ingredients, but otherwise, why bother? I will still screw it up. Recky cooks better than I do. I am impressed.

[@CollarCityGuy]

I made our family's classic homemade Thanksgiving meal: Turkey, stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, fried spiced apples, deviled eggs, whole berry cranberry sauce, stuffed olives, butter roils, gravy, broccoli with cheddar cheese sauce and pumpkin pie with whip cream for dessert. Amongst many things at my age I am grateful each morning when I see the ceiling because I know I'll see another day!

[@DeeIsFierce]

I had a Costco Rotisserie Seasoned Chicken, my homemade stuffing, jellied Cranberry sauce and for dessert my homemade pumpkin cheesecake.

[@realbser1956]

There’s no way you can offend us Recky & Carol. Every day is Thanksgiving when you post a video. Mix the corn and the mashed potatoes together. That is heaven on earth. ❤

[@lindadutko5721]

Great cooking show. The first Thanksgiving was a 3 day feast sometime between September and mid November in 1621 and was considered a harvest celebration between the Colonists and the local Native Indians. It was made a legal American holiday around 1870. Most cultures have some kind of Harvest Celebration for giving thanks for the harvest of crops and abundance to get them through the winter. Have a wonderful day.

[@CherylJones-qp7cf]

I’m thankful that you beautiful people let us into your home several times a week. God bless you both!! ❤

[@pgriffey]

YOU MADE A GREAT THANKSGIVING DINNER! I declare you both American in my eyes! So Happy "DAYS AFTER" Thanksgiving. The plate of food looked amazing, and I'm soo glad you get to try the tastes of America. It humbles us to see others enjoy the foods we take for granted. So I'm glad you are enjoying the goodies from the US. That's what makes this show soo appealing. I just love it. And as usual...keep up the great work. I love you guys! ❤️

[@matthewmarzani332]

I second the declaring them American. They get it. What wonderful people.

One can have ANY FOOD one wants on their table for THANKSGIVING!!! The main thing is to GIVE THANKS for the people in your life, the food on your table, and the hands that MADE IT!! We had a turkey breast, green bean casserole, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade cranberry sauce, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, and peach cobbler! IT WAS A FEAST - and YOUR table on this video looked like a FEAST, TOO!!! LOVE TO YOU-GUYS!! GLAD you had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

[@wwiggins65]

I don't make my cornbread casserole from scratch, never have. I make it with the same ingredients that you are using, except I mix my shredded cheese into the batter, I don't put it on top. It's one of my favorite sides for holiday meals! Your Thanksgiving meal looked perfect! I would have been thrilled with this exact meal! Great job! Also, have to add, if you want to make a spicy version you can add a can of diced jalapenos to make Mexican Cornbread, also amazing!!! As for Glogg, I have seen this made on Cecilia Blomdahl's videos, but would love to see the Recky and Carol version! Would also love to see you make some of your holiday dishes/drinks over the holiday season! Love you guys and am very grateful for you both!

[@malloryparent8555]

We, 7 of us, had roast turkey, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, candied sweet potatoes (yuck!), turnips, Brussels sprouts,bread dressing( or stuffing?), deviled eggs, cornbread, cranberry sauce and for dessert we had pumpkin pie, apple pie, coconut pie, sweet potato pie and raspberry pie. We have so much leftovers, we can eat for a week!

[@ToniLiuzza]

I did not know that St. Lucy was so celebrated in Sweden. My ancestry is Sicilian and Santa Lucia was born in Siracusa, Sicily. Santa Lucia saved the people of Siracusa from a famine by miraculously sending them ships loaded with wheat. To honor her on December 13, we eat Cuccia, a porridge made from cooked wheat berries. I love my Cuccia but your Lussekatt and Pepparkaka look delicious. This year I am going to include ginger cookie in my Santa Lucia celebration.

[@Knowlett]

Lovely share of desert, thank you. FYI, Thanksgiving is a tradition to give thanks. It doesn’t mater the food choices (I feel honored you chose relatively US) if all to show all, a thank you for being in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving guys!

[@LoriL010]

That looks soooo good and I'm hungry now! We had too much food as usual. Turkey, Ham, Tamales (Texas thing), Cornbread dressing with giblet gravy, broccoli rice and cheese casserole, potato casserole, sweet potatoes, green beans, roasted brussel sprouts with bacon with a splash of balsamic vinegar , Mac and Cheese, fried okra, deviled eggs, rolls and cornbread. Then Pumpkin, Pecan, Chocolate and Key lime pies. Cherry and Peach cobblers. There was 12 people in our party so we had tons of leftovers for everyone to take home. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday as it's a time for family and friends to share a meal and give thanks for our blessings.

Hi from another Carol!! The corn casserole brought back warm memories of my mom, who always made it for family gatherings. I lost her almost 4 years ago and have not had it since the fall before she passed. I had a few foods I didn't like as a child, but was raised if it was on the table, you had to eat some of it. I have since grown into loving all those foods I hated except liver! Today, your not a cooking show, with the laughter and spills, was just like my kitchen! Thankful this year in gaining a new son in law and all of us having continued good health and happiness. Glad to see you enjoying and embracing what we have here to offer you, it sheds a new light on what we do have.

Man that dinner looks so good! I don't know what rock I've been under, never added bacon to my sprouts.. but I WILL NOW! Yum!

[@bobbyecrockett1710]

My former neighbor, Marta, was born in Sweden. I loved Christmas for many reasons when she was my neighbor, but one was because she gave us so many delicious Sweden baked treats and Christmas ornaments,etc s. I was so sad when her family moved to Texas. Her husband was from Poland and his mother gifted us with delicious Polished food when she came to visit, we reciprocated with good southern cuisine and traditions. Loved watching this today. Corn casserole, corn pudding and corn soufflé are so delicious! We had ham along with smoked turkey for Thanksgiving. Sweet potato casserole, green beans, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas, homemade rolls, cranberry sauce, gravy, olives, and pickles. For dessert we had apple pie, cheese cake, chocolate pie, chocolate marble cake, ice cream, and for me Gluten Free crème brûlée. yum❤ Happy Thanksgiving all year long. Thankful for the happiness y’all bring to us. Thankful for life, love, family, freedom and my God.❤️🙏

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

*_KITCHEN TIP :_* if you put bacon in the freezer for a little while until it is partly frozen, it cuts a LOT easier. a little Lemon Pepper on those sprouts would really make the flavor pop.

[@Ekkis25]

I use kitchen scissors to cut my bacon.

[@VikiAnderson]

Corn casserole is one of my favorites!! Thanksgiving this year was at my brother’s home. He roasted a turkey and I brought a ham. We had mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn casserole, green bean casserole, oyster stuffing, turkey gravy and pineapple gravy (for the ham), homemade potato rolls, homemade wild rice buns, deviled eggs, chocolate brownies, Watergate Salad, pecan pie, apple pie and pumpkin pie. It was our first Thanksgiving that our mom was not there (she passed last March) so it was nice to have our families together to enjoy our time together and also remember Thanksgivings past with lots of love.

To each, their own. Happy Thanksgiving. Whatever food that makes you happy. Recky eats like an American.

We make us scalloped corn casserole… Two cans of cream corn and one can of regular corn being together with two eggs. Poured into the pan and topped with fresh buttered crackers! yummy! I’ll have to try your recipe with me cornbread muffin mix in it! I definitely wanna try your bacon and brussels sprouts recipe! Have you ever used a splatter guard when you’re frying your bacon? It’s just a small screen on the handle was your place over the top of your pan it keeps agrees from popping out of the pan at you… It’s saved me from a few burns!! I wish they had smell of vision so we could smell your delicious meal!! S

[@dedestephens4229]

OMG! I LAUGHED SO HARD!. you two are a hoot and the teamwork is hilarious 😂. Sometime I cook a can of whole corn and mix it with cream style corn with butter salt and pepper. I have fried the whole corn in a skillet with butter too. I don't like cornbread but love hush puppies. Our thanksgiving was as follows. Turkey breast Ham Mashed potatoes with gravy Cauliflower & broccoli with cheese sauce Green beans Dinner rolls Pies Pumpkin Apple Apple caramel Pecan Whipped topping Just do it your way and ignore the comments. Your way is exactly why we love you. I'm sure those who make critical comments are simply perfect in their own world. Good grief!

[@mariandenk8613]

Carol, You probably don’t remember me, but I gave you the recipe for corn casserole some time ago. Unfortunately, you weren’t able to try it because you can’t get cream corn in Sweden. Unfortunately, I’m not able to enable you due to a low fixed income so I sent instructions for making it from whole corn. I understand that this didn’t work for you so I’m thrilled that someone was able to send you all the ingredients. I never tried putting cheese on top, but it sounds delicious so the next time I make the casserole, I’ll add that step! I’m looking forward to seeing what you and Recky think of the finished product.

[@truebluepatriot2739]

💙🇺🇲 Agree with what your saying....the people need to relax and understand that you have a unique type of show ("Not a Cooking Show") and half the fun of watching is watching you two working through everything that comes your way and doing so at your own pace. You both have a great sense of humor and patience when it comes to your juggling between It's Not a Cooking Show and the package(s) reveal with Moa. And, as you always do you guys have never been too shy to ask for your fan base to help out with explanations and or guidance when needed.😊 which everyone loves to give😅. So it's all good.

Do you know “Succotash” ? The English word comes from a Native American language (Narragansett, Rhode Island area). It is a cooked dish of kernels of corn mixed with shell beans, especially lima beans, and, often, with green and sweet red peppers. I knew it (Midwest) as Kernel Corn with Lima Beans, BUT Southern USA makes it with: Fresh corn, tomatoes, lima beans, and okra (summer vegetables).

This year we had the basics: turkey, gravy, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, rolls, green bean casserole, pecan pie, 7 Up cake, and chocolate peanut butter pie. It was delicious, and we were so lucky to spend Thanksgiving with family. I do remember as a child my grandmother would cook for a huge number of family and friends. In addition to everything we had, she would also cook a ham, potato salad, pinto beans, corn, green beans, deviled eggs, cranberry, mixed salad, jello salad, and chocolate pie. Family would drive from all over to spend Thanksgiving together. Once in my 20’s, I cooked a complete diner as my grandmother did, and it was exhausting. It seems as our elder generation passes away, our group gets smaller.

Hi Ricky and Carol, We have turkey, gravy, cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, candied yams, cranberry sauce, & dinner rolls. It's traditional to have pumpkin pie but we don't care for it so our pies are apple and cherry. Not a Cooking Channel is one of my favorite cooking channels. I don't know that I would do as good as you if I tried cooking some traditional Swedish dishes.

[@dillodefense]

Thanksgiving takes a lot of time to plan. We often pre-bake everything we can ahead of time. That way, we only need to reheat on Thanksgiving Day. So... Thanksgiving can take up to a week to prepare. This year, we went small. Sweet potatoes with chipotle in adobo sauce, potatoe casserole, cornbread stuffing/dressing, turkey breast, and a salad. Oh, and my son's favorite, chocolate pie. We are still eating the leftovers . And probably will for a couple more days. 😅

[@tawnyforest7932]

North America is the continent of corn! Both the US and Canada's largest crop. I make creamed corn all the time. I use canned or frozen corn but fresh is best. Just cook the corn in plenty of butter, add salt and pepper to taste, a small amount of sugar, and 237 ml milk (or cream) to make a thick soup. Make a cornstarch slurry and thicken. We do love our corn.

[@truebluepatriot2739]

Ahhhh, your first Swedish/American Thanksgiving meal was beautiful, and i was so happy to see that everything you made was enjoyed by you both. May be you saved a bit of the corn casserole for your folks to experience. It would be great to hear of their reaction to it if you did. 😊 Again, beautiful meal but i was surprised to not see the lingonberry out in a bowel to add to the ham and potatoes, maybe?? 🤔😊😊😊 Stay well our friends and stay safe too. Happy Holidays and a ho, ho, ho! 🎅

[@randykillman6475]

Grateful for my family and the joy they bring to my life

[@cmitchell7347]

Amazing job on your version of a Thanksgiving meal. While there are some foods or dishes which might be considered 'staples,' it's really about making whatever appeals to you. When you look like you want to do a face plant onto your plate, it's clear everything was a success. Hopefully one of your enablers (for a long time I thought you were saying 'neighbors') can send plenty of cans of creamed corn along with boxes of Jiffy mix so you can whip up that dish whenever you're in the mood. For Carol, sounds like that might be quite often. Looks like you made enough for a couple more meals. Enjoy! 😊 CaRe Crew

[@tinarivera5806]

Heck yeah carol and Recky I'm still here

[@ironear7748]

Something I'm grateful for is watching Recky throw Carol into the BEST fit of laughter ever! What a great way to start a Thanksgiving video, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!! Man, what a good looking plate! My mouth is still watering. You had meat & 3 sides, so why are you apologizing for a small meal? Carol, TBH, I don't imagine anyone was thinking that when we caught a glimpse of those delectable plates! And I think you really caught the spirit of the holiday. Sharing an adventurous holiday drink was romantic. Thanksgiving is all about counting your blessings & giving thanks to God for those blessings. Like you said, it should be a worldwide thing. It really can be beautiful when you take stock, reflecting on the miracles both grand & mundane that comprise America's story & your life story too.

When people give you a hard time remember, don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff!😁

For next level Brussel sprouts: Add a shot of bourbon and two tablespoons of honey OR two tablespoons of real maple syrup to your bacon grease. Mix well and coat your brussel sprouts. Put brussel sprouts on a cooking sheet and sprinkle your bacon over top. Roast in oven for 25-30min on 375•. So yummy and takes those brussel sprouts up a notch!!

I think the way y'all cook is perfect. It's the way we all cook.

Whatever with that everything's always better homemade, it makes no difference to a lot of us. That looks so good! 😋

I do my brussel sprouts the same way. Sometimes I add halved cherry tomatoes.

We had turkey, ham, mashed taters, corn, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, honey glazed carrots, 5 cheese mac n cheese, both meat gravys, crescent rolls and yeast rolls. For dessert ice cream vannilla, butter pecan along with pumpkin, apple and mud pies. Only thing i didn't make from scratch(fresh ingredients) was the pumpkin pie and ice creams. Was busy for a couple of days 😂

The Brussels are good with just bacon but try tossing some dried cranberries and toasted walnuts or pecans in. So good
