I used this frosting for the first time in 2024. Previously I mostly winged frosting, and this really wasn’t much different than what I usually did. One difference was the almond extract – which I liked, but certain family members complained about.

We really liked this version of chili. Unfortunately I have several children who only want our “family favorite” chili with spaghetti in it.
These rolls are one of our family tradition recipes that we have had at Christmas dinner.
This is the gravy that we have been serving at Thanksgiving for all of my life.
This recipe for macaroni and cheese was introduced to our Thanksgiving menu via Samantha.
A simple recipe for candied yams or sweet potatoes that has been part of our Thanksgiving dinner since before I was born. There is no real measurements.
This dressing (or sometimes I call stuffing, but we have never actually stuffed a turkey with it!) gets a nice crisp top and sides which is my favorite part. Also a recipe that does not truly have measurements and is done by taste.

This recipe came from my grandmother, Thelma Beatty. It has been a part of our Thanksgiving meal from before I was born. Many of my family members see it as a staple and really like them.
