Y'all prolly know it. I make it now for peeps up here and they love it.

Sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar (maple syrup), pecans and marshmallows.

It rocks!!!

Candied yams. I make it every year.

my grandmothers stuffing, and her gravy, and her desserts. mmmmm.... She's 92 and had 17 kids, she really learned to cook somewhere along the way.

CBRchick... when I lived in Texas I celebrated both, I would cook a turkey on Canadian Thanksgiving, which always coincided with a holiday ( columbus day?) and invite friends over. If I had a day off here I would cook a turkey for American turkey day.. any excuse for turkey sandwiches!

This/that/plusone/I agree

Stuffing that is cooked in a pan, in the oven, and NOT in the turkey = awesomeness.

Homemade pecan and pumpkin pie come in a close second.

Agreed on all accounts except the pecan pie.. I don't think I like that.

Stuffing that's crunchy on top from being thrown in the oven for a bit is damn good.

My mother in law made ground cherry pie. The ground cherries were picked right at the farm and the crust was homemade

That was really good

Warm that pie, add in some homemade ice cream and we have a winner!

I like it all. Sweet potato casserole - my sister-in-law made a great one this Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law makes great homemade stuffing. Father-in-law makes a mean turkey on the grill. I make some kick-ass mashed potatoes and homemade gravy.
