Family Holiday Recipes
We’ve entered the holiday season and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Maybe you’re headed to celebrate with family or friends. What dish do you like to contribute? If you order your meal or enjoy your Thanksgiving meal at a restaurant, what are your favorites? Last year we stayed home because of the pandemic. Though we missed our family, we had a lovely time just the four of us. Wherever we are, we make what we think of as our traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Chad and I make our Brussels sprouts, and I make mashed potatoes and Thanksgiving dessert: Pumpkin Steamed Pudding topped with plenty of lightly sweetened whipped cream. And last year I made these delicious Buttermilk Rolls that were so good we voted them onto our family Thanksgiving menu permanently.
Anna always makes her family holiday recipes for Corn Pudding and Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie. I also now also make Anna’s corn pudding for holiday gatherings! It’s so simple and delicious! I love her pumpkin pie too!
