Thanksgiving. Traditions. Turkeys. by Hope Reagan

When the kids were at home, we would often take a family vacation during the week of Thanksgiving traveling to a different state or town. Most of the time we took the grandparents with us so they could spend time with their grandkids and also enjoy the location whether it was the snow in Colorado or the Great Smoky Mountains.

As we began this new traveling tradition with my family, some old traditions never changed. My mom has to make the dressing, which is a recipe handed down from her mother. I have to bring the turkey cookies. Yes, turkey cookies. And no, it's not a recipe handed down from my mother nor does the recipe call for turkey.

Since I was about ten years old, every year at Thanksgiving, I would make turkey cookies. Which are actually sugar cookies cut out in the shape of turkeys and decorated with icing. To this day, the family always asks if I'm bringing the turkey cookies to Thanksgiving.

From Jan’s Kitchen to Yours by Jan Newsome

I’m not someone who usually follows recipes. I prefer to cook intuitively, adding spices without measuring and adjusting as I go. That being said, I’ve written up a recipe for my go-to Zucchini-Potato Casserole and Corn Soufflé, which I make often. I’ve also included a recipe for blueberry muffins that I love. For the muffins, I combined elements from three different recipes, adding a few personal touches to suit my taste. I hope you enjoy these and tailor them to make them your very own!
