Thanksgiving/10 recipes

A treasured memory of Christmas at Great-Aunt Elizabeth's house was a cookie that I never learned to eat in moderation. Although my mother warned me not to say anything, one of the first things I would say upon arrival was, "I'm hungry" hoping that these cookies would appear. Much to my delight they usually did, and in fact, began also to appear at Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and any other time we got together to celebrate.

This showy make-ahead buttercup squash recipe is impressively divine. Maple-infused cranberries top maple butter-flavored squash baked-on apple slices.

A comforting dessert that fits perfectly alongside pumpkin pie. Homemade dumplings perched in rich and thick maple syrup.

This is a quick and easy version of a French classic. It has been altered to use no flour and no sugar.

Decadent casserole layered with three types of onions & three cheeses. It is once a year treat. We all deserve it.

Tasted awesome and the house smelled so good while it was baking. I also added a ton of garlic and sliced onion to my brine. I just used all water and threw in several chicken bullion cubes to make up the broth part of the recipe. Soooo good and moist!

This is the second recipe I'll post tonight--promised it to AH earlier tonight. My mother found this recipe 35 or so years ago in a magazine and it has become a family favorite. For years she only made it at Thanksgiving until I took over the baking reigns in the family; now she makes it more often especially when my brother, Lewis, is going to be in.

I have made a Thanksgiving goose every year for at least 15 years. I have steadily gained on making the perfect bird but I finally found the greatest recipe ever.
