    Thanksgiving, 2022

    Jumping in on the question about mac and cheese at Thanksgiving! My mother always made Thanksgiving dinner. My mom is an okay cook except her idea of vegetables is canned peas or corn. But then my parents moved to Florida and my sister or I started hosting. We changed it up! One year, my niece (who was in college at the time) wanted to make mac and cheese. It was a huge hit and it just stayed on the menu. Why? Because we all like it! Another thing that made an appearance about 7 or 8 years ago...honey baked ham! My BIL's father hated turkey. As a kid, my BIL's parents would only go to someone's house for Thanksgiving if they had a honey baked ham. So one year, my sister ordered the ham. It was the runaway hit of the day and it has also stayed on the menu. So the traditions in our family since we became the adults in charge: Turkey Ham Cranberry sauce Stuffing (usually with sausage) Corn Pudding Mac and Cheese Potatoes - varies year to year Brussels Sprouts or perhaps a nice green salad with cranberries Desserts - at the very least, always something with chocolate and something with apple. Nobody in our group likes pumpkin pie!

    I love this Barefoot Contessa Orzo with Roasted Vegetables. Always a hit.
