Deciding what I want to strive for and then setting goals to get there... "But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people because they think their dreams into reality with eyes wide open."

She cooked for some people at church that would be alone this year, so I made them for the first time. Sweet potatoe casserole is something I love too. My mom makes her sweet potatoes sauteed in butter and brown sugar in a frying pan until carmelized and deep brown. I love sausage stuffing too and my mom usually is the only one that makes that too and I made it:0) Not from scratch like hers, but it fit the bill. Mmm. and my mom's homemade rolls. I haven't attempted them though! And Joy makes a cheesy potato casserole that is also a favorite. I love Thanksgiving around here! I have to have my mom’s candied sweet potatoes.

Anything else made me a little homesick. Then one year I discovered the reason why -- my mom's sausage stuffing. I learned how to make it, so now when my parents do something crazy like go to Mexico for Thanksgiving (like this year) I can have the holiday I need without them. My boyfriend's family loves that stuffing, too, and last night his brother even called to make sure I planned to bring it! It seems a little crazy to have one food I associate with Thanksgiving, but that's what it is. My family isn't very close, so I like that there is one thing I have acquired from my mother that counts as a tradition. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

We're trying to cut down on the cream. We’re baking squash this year instead of mashed potatoes. We’re trying to cut down on the cream.
