Week 12 - A Different Approach

This week I was hoping to change up the format a little bit and get some more input from you! With the time change this weekend reminding us all that the holidays are approaching quickly, I was thinking about Thanksgiving dinner. Each family has unique traditions and special dishes that they make during this celebration together. Most families have turkey and dressing, assorted casseroles, fruit trays and various desserts, but what makes your family's meal different and special? What would you not want to do without? 
If you have a favorite that your family makes the best or different from the norm or would like to share a tradition with us please post it here! Who knows maybe your family's tradition is just what we have been missing at our own Thanksgiving feast :)
* Just a reminder: Before making all those tasty dishes check the date on your spices and baking supplies! Those tasty gingerbread cookies and delicious pumpkin pies might not taste as wonderful as they should with that nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice that expired in 2008 ;)

    The Holidays are always wonderful when you are able to spend time with the Best Family in the World!! A few things that make it the best:
    - Home cooking. Thanksgiving would not be the same without Mom's dressing.
    - Black Olives. They must be placed on all of your finger tips then eaten off.
    - Pink Stuff. Who could not love a dish with that much sugar?!
    - Relish trays. You must have something to snack on while you wait on the meal.
    - Family. As long as we are together, any meal is great and special.

    Can't wait to spend the Holidays together. Love you!

    Every one loves the "pink stuff".
    One can eagle brand milk
    One large tub of cool whip
    One can of cherry pie filling
    One can of crushed pineapple drained
    One cup of chopped pecans (more if you like- and I do)
    Mix and refrigerate.
