Happy Thanksgiving Reader!

I wanted to send a quick note to help with your Thanksgiving planning, just in case you waited til the last minute to gather up some recipes.

Here are my favorites:

• ​Southern sweet tea - This is the very best old fashioned recipe!
• ​Candied sweet potatoes - The syrup on these potatoes includes orange juice which sends it out of this world!
• ​Crockpot sweet potato casserole - This is a healthier sweet potato side dish that cooks all day in the slow cooker.
• ​Praline pumpkin pie - My Granny's easy pumpkin pie has a crunchy pecan brown sugar topping. It's the only pumpkin pie I'll eat.
• ​Pumpkin dump cake - This could not be easier. Mix pumpkin with evaporated milk and spices right in a 9x13 pan, then sprinkle with a cake mix and pecans. DONE. We're having this instead of pumpkin pie this year.
• ​The easiest cherry pie ever made - You will die when you see how stupid easy this pie is. It's hardly even a recipe, but every year, so many people email me and thank me for posting it. 🤷‍♀️
• ​Old fashioned chestnut stuffing - This was my father-in-law's recipe that uses bread, saltines, and real chestnuts to make a stuffing that will delight every single person at the table.
• ​Crockpot mashed potatoes - These are the best mashed potatoes ever made because they have sour cream and cream cheese mixed in. Heaven.
