Thanksgiving is my most traditional holiday. We HAVE to have certain foods. It is the only holiday that I feel that way about. Strange, huh? Christmas and Easter meals can be more flexible but not Thanksgiving!
Mashed Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole (Our Traditional Family Recipe from the back of the french fried onions can.)
Stuffing/Dressing (Grandma Blossom's Recipe)
Gravy (Yes, keep it simple.)
Sweet Potato Casserole
Cranberry Salad (Grandma Blossom's Recipe)
Cranberry Jell (Jay wants it from a can. I like to make it from scratch with fresh cranberries.)
Rolls (I usually make Grandma Irvine's Buns Recipe.)
Butter
Jams (A variety from the summer's canning.)
Pumpkin Pie (From the Betty Crocker Cookbook) (Jay makes the pie crusts. I make the fillings.)
Whipped Cream (Jay likes Cool Whip. I like fresh whipping cream with sugar.)
Mincemeat Pie (The box recipe with extra apples added.)
Pecan Pie (From the Betty Crocker Cookbook)
Blueberry Pie (From the Betty Crocker Cookbook)
