Hi Nancy – Pumpkin dump cake sounds good. I have never heard of it. I agree with you that when using a loved one who is no longer living recipes, it does make you feel like a part of them. It makes me smile too when I take out a recipe card that was my mom’s and see her handwriting. :-)

And those bacon skewers look scrumptious. Honestly, autumn/Thanksgiving is the only time I ever eat turkey. This year I made pumpkin dump cake for 3 different autumn dinner parties, so by the time big day rolled around I couldn’t even look at pumpkin. I made my mom’s apple pie instead. My sweet mom always made apple, pumpkin, and blueberry pie for Thanksgiving, but apple was her specialty. Making her apple pie recipe for holiday gatherings makes me feel like a part of her is still with us. I bet your dumplings were just as delicious!

Years ago, my family had what I laughingly call an ‘intervention’. It went something like ‘Your turkey is great, but what we’d really love is your fried pecan chicken!’ So fried pecan crusted chicken strips it has been going on almost 20 years now.

However, other than the potatoes, I’m not sure these would fit into my current lifestyle. A friend of mine (guess who) turned me on to the vegan food and I am really hooked. I owe my friend a debt of gratitude (thank you, Diane) as I feel better everyday so I’m committed. I really don’t miss sweets at all.

Thanks for sharing some of your recipes, I am definitely going to try the canned potatoes- I just happen to have the Everglades Spice.

Thank you for the recipes 💗

Never would have bought canned potatoes, but boy, are those good! I’ve made them ever since you first posted the recipe.

Hi Pat – I will take Brussel sprouts over green beans any day. :-) As for the canned potatoes, I used to think like you about them, until my mother-in-law who worked for a high end caterer made the recipe for us and we couldn’t believe they were from a can. It sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving- I will be celebrating at my younger daughter’s new home. I am looking forward to it and hope there is still some colors left in the leaves as she has a beautiful mountain view from her home.

I dont like bought pumpkin pie though. Your recipes look good except the potatoes–I would never buy canned potatoes.! But everything else looks yummy!! Traditional thanksgiving in Canada has brussel sprouts but no green beans, no cornbread either. To me the best part of thanksgiving in the US is the next day sales. We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at my daughter and husbands cottage on the Lake surrounded by beautiful maple in all their colourful glory! It really felt like Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving Diane and family.
