My sister and I will always miss our mom at holiday meals, as we do our Granny. But we’ve also got some of their recipes and cherish them.

Wow. What a great post, combining your memory of your grandmother and her favorite recipes, just in time for the holidays. My mother also makes her traditional broccoli-cheese casserole and my aunt makes the sweet potato souffle. My sister makes an amazing stuffing and my other sister makes the best key lime pie. I’m looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with my family in Miami this year. We will miss my brother, Paul, who passed away earlier this year, especially because Thanksgiving was his favorite holiday. So it will be bittersweet, but being with family is the most important thing.
