“Cooking is a family affair at the
holidays. Grandma makes the most
delicious turkey, I make homemade
cranberry sauce, my youngest daughter
makes fresh
homemade
green bean
casserole and my
eldest daughter
makes pumpkin
cheesecake
from scratch.
Everything is so delicious and takes
time to make, but we treasure that
time together to laugh and enjoy each
other’s company.”
“As a child, I always looked forward
to my mother’s mac and cheese,
stuffing and turkey with gravy. A lot
has changed since my younger days.
I don’t eat meat
or many carbs
now and I am
more interested in
celebrating Native
American Heritage
Month alongside
my family’s
traditions. However, when invited to
family members’ Thanksgiving feast,
I never miss an opportunity to have
stuffing and gravy. The taste brings
back great memories.”

“Having come to the U.S. as a
young child, I was introduced to
Thanksgiving in a roundabout way.
Since then, I
realized my
love for sweet
potatoes. My
favorite foods that
I only eat during
the holidays are
sweet potato pie
and sweet potato casserole, the kind
covered with marshmallows.”
