WEEK #46 NOVEMBER 10th – 16th, 2025

Dear Customers,

If your family is anything like my family, when the holidays roll around, we gravitate towards making the exact same things for holiday dinner that we do every year.  I guess you could call it “following tradition” but using the example of Thanksgiving we start with the turkey – the bigger, the better.  Add to that, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pecan bake, homemade sausage stuffing, freshly baked bread (compliments of Nana), cranberry-orange relish, cranberry sauce (canned preferably), and green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup.  Of course, there are many & assorted varieties of pies as well, also compliments of my mother-in-law!  Sometimes we may open a can of whole kernel corn and dump it into a dish, just because my daughter demands it and for a splash of color!

            A few years ago, I used a recipe for Thanksgiving dinner that I had found on the internet, and it was a huge hit among the family members.  Completely unlike me, I didn’t save it and have been looking for it ever since.  As Thanksgiving nears, I have been searching for it again and I’m hoping this just might be it.  I’m going to make it just in case.  If it isn’t a hit, we’ll be enjoying the leftovers for quite some time!
