These rolls are one of our family tradition recipes that we have had at Christmas dinner.

Giblet Gravy
This is the gravy that we have been serving at Thanksgiving for all of my life.
Hawaiian Style Pumpkin Crunch
This recipe was collected from the Holo Holo Charter Blog. One note, however, is that my attempt at this recipe ended up very mushy and not really set. Not sure if I did something wrong or not.
Macaroni & Cheese
This recipe for macaroni and cheese was introduced to our Thanksgiving menu via Samantha.
Candied Sweet Potatoes
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.
Dressing
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.
Dylan’s InstaPot Mashed Potatoes
We were looking for a quick way to make mashed potatoes, especially for when we make shepherd’s pie. Dylan found this recipe but added his own spin with the sautéed onions and garlic.
Noodles
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.
Green Beans with Ham
I have never called these “southern” green beans, but apparently that is where the recipe came from. Also part of our traditional Thanksgiving meal. Our family does NOT make the green bean casserole with soup. Bleh!
Shepherd’s Pie
This is not a family traditional recipe, but it IS one of my personal favorites. We use Dylan’s mashed potatoes for the topping, but do add the parmesan cheese for that.
