Here are some of our $10-and-under favorites with their Thanksgiving dish match-ups.

What Can I Get You Folks? - Eating Out for Thanksgiving

Still, depending on whose statistics you trust, there are at least 10 million Americans making reservations for their Thanksgiving dinners this year, which means at least that many food and beverage workers will be spending their holidays away from home too.
I generally don't mind working on holidays: The festive hubbub of a room filled with revelers is often preferable to spending the evening with squabbling relatives. And the staff camaraderie that makes the indignities of restaurant work bearable is never quite so pronounced as on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

Mashed Potatoes, Blue Cheese and Chocolate - The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review in 60 Seconds

- Got milk? To make traditional mashed potatoes decadent enough for the holiday spread means one thing: heavy cream, and lots of it.
- Chocolate isn't just for dessert. Take it from the Italians and try adding the "food of the gods" to savory pastas, soups, risottos and crostini.
- Experts say the pumpkin shortage Libby's announced last week won't affect your pie this year, but next year may be a different story.
- Pungent, bold-flavored blue cheese "can help satisfy your cravings for rich, creamy foods without the guilt."
- Get out those planners -- Thanksgiving dinner is all a matter of good scheduling.

Pumpkin Pie - Feast Your Eyes

This one, from Flickr user maggiejane, is a little bit store bought, a little bit from a can and a little bit homemade. On her blog, Pithy and Cleaver, she writes that while she uses a premade frozen pie crust, the filling is canned pumpkin mixed with eggs, sugar, molasses and spices like cinnamon, ginger and clove.
Sounds to us like a little bit of work for a whole lot of Thanksgiving flavor.

Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, N.Y., started an online petition, asking the president to let the national turkeys find homes in their turkey shelter instead of in the Magic Kingdom, Mother Nature Network reports.
"Historically these turkeys have been actually sent to farms where they're supposed to live out their lives, but they don't live very long lives," Farm Sanctuary president and co-founder Gene Baur told Slashfood.
"At Disneyland they don't' know how to properly care for them, and they feed them in such a way that they become overweight, which is what typically happens to these birds," he said. "We're hoping the president will send them to Farm Sanctuary where they will get the best care possible."

Pumpkin Tamales for Thanksgiving

Tamales have been a festive food ever since the Aztecs and other early Meso-Americans served them in conjunction with their religious rituals, says Claudia Alarcon, an Austin-based writer who's kicking off the University of Texas' Foodways of Mexico speaker series this week with a talk on tamale history. While tamales aren't associated with winter holidays south of the border, Alarcon says "I'm pretty sure in every U.S. state where Mexican-Americans live, they have tamales for the holidays."
