In retirement we have deleted a lot of things off the list and gone with our favorite things. Turkey, dressing and gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, five cup salad, and pumpkin pie. I use Libby's pumpkin only and follow their recipe on the can, except I use more cinnamon (it lowers my husband's A-1 C, he is diabetic 2) and nutmeg, cloves and ginger and brown sugar to give it a darker color. If the main dish is ham, I add a sweet potato recipe of sweet potatoes (ours is homegrown) canned apples, (canned pint with no sugar added) brown sugar and marshmallows. And a peach crisp for dessert. An 8 x 8 pan topping is 1 stick of butter, 1 c of brown sugar, 1 c rolled oats. Melt the butter first, then add the brown sugar and let it boil and combine with the butter before adding the rolled oats to the mixture. I turn my electric burner off as I add the oats, once folded in, I spread it across the peach filling and bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Fruit filling usually has sugar and corn starch combined with the fruit. And I do broil it a bit after it cooks for an hour to get a browner crisp on top.
