Happy Thanksgiving!
It's that time of year again. That time when we stuff ourselves silly with turkey and lots of other things that we only eat at Thanksgiving and maybe Christmas. I've always found it funny that certain foods symbolize the day to people and it just doesn't feel right if that food isn't there. I also love the fact that every family seems to have their own unique stuffing recipe.
In our family the stuffing involves chicken livers and sausage. Yeah, I pick the chicken livers out. However, there is an internal struggle between the faction that is happy when the stuffing turns out dry and the faction that loves it moist.
But in our family the one dish that means HOLIDAY in great big neon Las Vegas lights. Sweet Potato Souffle. http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/holidays/sweet-potato-souffle/
If this is not made, or does not turn out right, there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth.
My sister-in-law ususally makes a pineapple upside down cake, too. This is also ubiquitous. Other things may change but if these three elements are there, Thanksgiving is Go.
So Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on my friend list. I hope you are full and happy and blessed. :)
