When November rolls around and we think of things we are thankful for, I always think of how thankful I am for America's very special holiday: Thanksgiving. It's such a heartwarming feeling to see how so many families come together to enjoy this day. Over the hills and through the woods to grandmother's house we go. The airports are crowded with travelers trying to get home sweet home. It's a holiday without "presents" but rather the gift of togetherness. When I sit down to dinner with my family, I smile thinking of all the families sharing pretty much the same meal: turkey, stuffing, yams, cranberries. maybe that green bean casserole, pumpkin pie and all those traditional dishes that we often only have once a year.
Here's one of my favorite photos of a turkey I cooked a couple of years ago.
Pretty proud of how it looks- almost magazine worthy!
This is my "Special Yam Casserole" I make for Thanksgiving.
Recipe follows along with another family favorite,
