Traditional Stuffing
“Stuffing (or dressing) is a classic side dish, especially for holiday dinners like Thanksgiving and Christmas! Traditionally the stuffing would actually be stuffed inside the turkey and cooked there but there never seems to be enough so I like to make more!” - Kevin
Granny's Creamy Mash Potatoes
“My Mash Potatoes for Thanksgiving was a smash according to my two grandsons. My youngest grandson said ‘Grandma these are the best mash potatoes ever!’ and my oldest said yes Grandma I agree, and my youngest grandson said, ‘you must give me this recipe Grandma, I am serious.’ I just look at them with such a smile on my face. It brought such warmth to my heart, to see how they enjoyed Granny's Creamy Mash Potatoes! WOW, that's wonderful compliments coming from a six and a seven year old.” - Aprie
Turkey Gravy

2-Hour Turkey, Really
“I tried this recipe about 8 years ago when my daughter was giving birth on Thanksgiving Day and ended up having to do all the cooking for 2 families. So I gave it a chance and it went perfectly and saved me sooo much time. This recipe was literally a lifesaver. This year my sister and I will be using this recipe and I'm excited to use it again. To anyone out there who is a skeptic, just give it a try, it really is a wonderful recipe and it works.” - Barbara
Southern Cornbread Casserole
“This classic southern cornbread dressing is deliciously moist, has the perfect balance of flavor, and packed with fresh veggies. It is a staple during the holidays and Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without it. This recipe is exactly the way my Mother taught me to make it, so it is a family recipe for sure. In my opinion heirloom recipes are the best, pure comfort food. Plus they are tried and true.” - Debbie

“Made this yesterday for today's Thanksgiving dinner, wow, I'm impressed how good it turned out. Thanks!” - Dave
Amish "Fancy" Butter And Egg Dinner Rolls

Christy's Infamous Green Bean Casserole
“It is very important to use the name brand ingredients. This is NOT your ordinary green bean casserole. Once you have made this, no one will request the ‘other’ one again.” - Christy
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
“Turn your mashed potatoes game up a notch up with these mashed sweet potatoes. This recipe is definitely on the sweeter side so if you’re like me and prefer something a little more savory, simply leave out the maple syrup out and add more salt!” - Shikha
