Each member of my family has his/her own favorites, and they expect me to cook each and every one of them. Of course, we have turkey, and these days we fry it. I have to have cornbread dressing and giblet gravy. MMMM!! My husband orders candied sweet potatoes, my oldest daughter cheesy broccoli rice casserole, and the younger daughter must have mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. My son-in-law of two years hasn't worked up the nerve to ask for anything special yet, and he pretty much eats whatever I fix. Sometimes I also add fruit salad to the meal. Then of course there are all those pies, cakes, and other sweets. My mouth is watering now!

recipe is from
http://www.latartinegourmande.com/20...quash-crumble/
and it appeals to everyone, but is refreshing and not sickly sweet or too heavy with cheese and cream and I can make it gluten free without anyone suspecting the flour is not wheat...
yum yum I wish I were cooking - my hairdresser today told me about a recipe her family loves which is a gratin o white and sweet potatoes. She slices them super thin on mandoline, layers them in stripes, then dumps in a mix of heavy cream and gruyere cheese (so French!) and bakes til bubbly and done.

We also have to have Red Velvet cake. My husband was born on Thanksgiving Day, so she got no dinner that year. We always celebrate on Thanksgiving even if it doesn't fall on that day. She always makes him a Red Velvet cake for his birthday. Required!
