last-minute recipe ideas

Where's the question of the week? Look for it on Friday. We're mixing things up so we can bring you more Thanksgiving tips.

As everyone who's served kitchen time on Thanksgiving knows, it's easy to get stumped on certain dishes.

The questions I'm asked most often are: What can I make for a veggie entree that isn't bland or boring? And, what kind of stuffing should I make?

Thanks to our own top chef Grace, we have some great answers, just in time for you to add them to your own Thanksgiving spread.

• Dazzle the vegetarians at your table with this spicy, hearty polenta and black bean dish (delicious serving above).
• Celebrate the variety of fresh mushrooms available this time of year with a rich, peppery mushroom casserole.
• Stove Top stuffing + bacon = Thanksgiving showstopper. And the best part? It comes together in about 15 minutes.

This recipe is definitely a showstopper and easy to make: http://tinyurl.com/6oz7aq

It is for Butternut Squash Lasagna and if you buy the pre-cut squash from the store, it comes together in a cinch. It is a vegetarian dish that meat-eaters will also love.

Enjoy!
