I am starting a household notebook of sorts and want to keep track of the different menus I use, so I can find those once-a-year recipes that were big hits!

Roast Turkey – Gourmet magazine, November 2003

Mashed potatoes – pretty traditional

gravy – my mom’s best, with giblet broth, no recipe

Sweet potato casserole – Cooking Light, November 2003

green bean casserole – my sister’s best, with crushed Cheese-Its on the top!

Roast root vegetables - How to Cook Everything

Cranberry Port Sauce – Sunset reader favorites, November 2004

Regular cranberry sauce – off the side of the bag of fresh cranberries

Dressing – Betty Crocker’s old standby with sauteed celery

Spinach Salad with Pears – Cooking Light magazine, can’t remember which

Creamed onions – Family favorite with no recipe, cheese sauce and boiling onions
