Thanks! I just decided today to go ahead and make a Thanksgiving style dinner even though it will just be the two of us. I bought a turkey breast and was wondering about how to cook it in the crock pot. I'll be giving this a shot.

Well, I managed to find a yummy-sounding "tofu loaf" recipe in my "La Dolce Vegan!" cookbook, so I'll be trying that for Thanksgiving this year!
DH STILL insisted on buying a turkey breast... he'll just have to cook it himself though! I passed along the crock pot recipe to him.

I am not from the US and don't really know what you guys traditionally eat for Thanksgiving... The friends we are going to spend it with asked us to bring a green side dish... any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

The most common traditional green side dish would be green bean casserole. However, it is most definitely NOT safe for IBS. My family usually has green beans and new potatoes (cooked together with seasonings and can be made safely) or maybe asparagus or broccoli casserole (I have a recipe for that, too, but it's not safe for IBS). The best thing I can suggest that you would also be able to eat would be the green beans & potatoes. You can scan down the recipe index, but I didn't see anything that looked especially fabulous. Sorry I can't be more help!

Thanks  I will probably make something that the rest of us will eat, and I won't touch...

If you're going to be able to cook what you bring once you're there, then I'd say green beans - that always seems very Thanksgiving-y to me. You can throw some slivered almonds into them to make them festive. (Consider bringing your own pot - those sometimes run short on Thanksgiving.)
Stove and microwave space is usually at a premium, though, so if you can't cook once you're there, consider asparagus. It is apparently quite correct to eat this hot, cold, or room temperature and I love it with just lemon juice squeezed over it. There are some asparagus recipes in the Recipe Index - perhaps one of them will look good.
However, if there is a great green side dish from your homeland, consider bringing that. I think most people would be charmed to try something a little different.
I have to agree with Julie E though - at least where I'm from (the South), that green bean casserole is the standard side dish. It's basically IF wrapped in fat, dairy, fat, MSG, and fat, but man is it good!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Asparagus, that's a great idea. Thanks a lot.
I can't think of a good green side dish otherwise, back where I come from, we don't eat asparagus or brocoli... just green beans, but I am not a fan of the taste.
Thanks, Sand, for the ideas and advice!
