The other day our clan had a discussion about who is bringing what for Thanksgiving dinner. I asked if folks wanted me to bring candied sweet potatoes or green bean casserole as a side dish. I was surprised to hear green beans from the lot of them, as I had expected the other.

For many people, there are one or two must-have foods for it to be a proper Thanksgiving meal. Ask your husband what that would be for him and do all you can to make it happen.

True story: The year my mom died we spent Christmas with her brother and his family. At breakfast on Christmas eve, my Uncle was reminiscing about the cranberry sauce my Grandmother used to make. I asked a few questions, got on Google and found a recipe, hit a store, and surprised my Uncle with the relish on Christmas. I know he felt loved and he enjoyed it a great deal. That same relish has become a feature at our home ever since.
