Sunday

Things that are difficult to mess up, like the turkey, mashed potatoes, Salad, bread rolls, pies, etc.
Then I doctor the things I order to make them taste better. I make the most important things like my dressing, green beans, sweet potato casserole, and my “must have” scalloped potatoes from Frank Stit’s Southern cookbook. My kids always make homemade blueberry crumble. I hate cooking for Thanksgiving. But I sure do love to eat it!
