My Granny's Sweet Potato Casserole, which is pretty much a dessert. The sweet potatoes are full of brown sugar and butter, and the topping is basically crumbled short-bread dough and chopped pecans. ;) brown sugar, flour, butter, and nuts sprinkled all over before it cooks.

The second is Granny's green beans (southern green beans - normal cut, slow cooked in onions and bacon). 

But since we eat the green beans multiple times a year, I'm also going to say Granny's Pecan Pie (yes, all of my favorite recipes were invented or perfected by my mother's mother), in which you cram as many pecans as you can into the pie, and simply hold them together with the goopy sugar stuff, instead of having mostly a layer of goopy sugar with some nuts on top. Nuts, nuts 'everywhere'....cram a pecan everywhere you can, pecan pies! Like, almost a pound of pecans per pie. 

 

We don't often eat the traditional Thanksgiving dinner at my house. We usually just have a family meal of whatever we all agree on. It's unusual enough for me to cook a meal for the family.

vinegared cucumbers and sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes and, not so traditional, Turkey goetta on biscuits ( has become something of a tradition for my son and I, though).

A boozy Whiskey Pecan Pie... and popovers (or yorkshire pudding for those that don't know...)

 

Actually, home cooking of any kind. I don't get enough of it and i love it.

Green beans wrapped in bacon. 

 

Chocolate chip pecan pie.
