I have to have home made mayo-dressed cole slaw. I just can't eat
turkey without it.

Broccoli is another, though I can manage with brussels sprouts. I don't
much care for the green beans with canned soup stuff. Gotta have a
green veggie. My guests always prefer the mashed potatoes, but I'm
partial to plain roasted sweet potato, so I pop a couple of yams into
the oven while the turkey is roasting.

I used to bake 3 pies every year: pecan, pumpkin and apple, but with low
carbing, I am making a pumpkin cheese cake that is generally appreciated.

A friend is making the dressing this year. Saves me time as I bake the
bread or corn bread myself for the dressing. I hate the crap in the
cello bags.

Little home made rolls are also important. I like to make tiny challahs
for dinner rolls.
