I Hope It Doesn't Taste Like Feet

Today I am thankful for this box of recipes

that belonged to my mother-in-law, Luz.

By following her directions I turned

this . . .

into this Sweet Potato Casserole . . .

and this Pineapple Casserole (one of Joel's favorites).

        

It wouldn't be a Vallejo Turkey Day without these two dishes. 

There will also be turkey and dressing and mashed potatoes and green beans

 and rolls and pie and cheesecake and Ocean Spray Cranberry Jelly.

I made some fancy shmancy orange cranberry sauce a few years ago

but it turns out Joel is a traditionalist and likes his cranberry jelly

straight from the can.  He says the rings around the outside help you cut 

the cranberry slices evenly.  It's hard to argue with that kind of Thanksgiving logic.

Cranberry Sauce!
