"traditional" Thanksgiving dinner

Susan Laity Price · 2011-11-22T03:04:55+00:00

Several years ago we were hosts to a visiting Chinese student duringThanksgiving. She was familiar with the first Thanksgiving in thecolonies. As we were passing food around the Thanksgiving table Iexplained the symbolism of each dish until I got to the Green BeanCasserole. How does one explain how that dish is one of the "musthaves" on most family menus? Since she was a business major sheunderstood that the dish was promoted by companies that make themushroom soup and onion rings. My sons, who would never touch thecasserole, assured her that it was an essential to every holiday meal.Susan

They mention low in cholesterol but don't mention fat or calories. If those are like the ones here they are probably really good. I made the mistake at looking at the nutritional label once and never have eaten another. I miss them though. Rats to those darned labels. Kind of like all the Costco goodies. Not everything from their bakery has a nutrition label. I checked online about something one day and that was the last of that. : ( Taria

Howdy! A hand-sized fruit pie, lightly dipped into the fryer so the crust gets kind of crispy, sealing in the goodness. MindyLu's don't have a thick layer of sugar coating as some do. They're good.

Read labels--hafta take the specs off to do so--but if it has SOY in it all all--it stays there.

Butterfly (Thankful that now some of the labels do list it in darker lettering at the end of the list. Whomsoever started doing it should be hugged)

I've had one; they're good. Gave away the rest.

Today, the wrapper remains. The house is clean, the food is cooked, I quilt. That's it: quilt!

We never had GBC for Thanksgiving dinners when I was growing up. My mom did cook other things with cream of mushroom soup though. You will never see me cook a recipe that calls for any cream of " " soup. I've eaten enough. Thank you very much! I fully support Campbells when I have a cold and need some chicken noodle soup.

Problem is I could probably eat a box of them! I don't do many regular pies anymore because good pastry is just not good for you but when I splurge I really enjoy. (I would eat those since they have

3 g's of protein ; ) Taria
