When boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes, add a couple cut up parsnips and mash them right in with the butter and sour cream. Very good!

My Mom's oyster dressing, eggplant casserole, lots of turkey gravy, cauliflower & cheese. All my favs. But not going to Mom's this year, going to in-laws. A little different, but great food. My father-in-law's oyster dressing is the best in the world.

It wouldn’t be fall without cranberries. At only 46 calories a cup, fresh berries add guilt-free sweetness to mains, sides, desserts and more. Plus, they’re an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber.

There's a new food trend simmering, but if you want to give it a try, you'll have to revise your grocery list. Meat, poultry and fish? Out. Milk, cheese, eggs and dairy of any kind? Gone. Oh yes, and that bear-shaped container of honey in your cabinet? History.
