∇ Roasted turkey using this method
∇ The best make-ahead creamy mashed potatoes (I once made gallons of this for a wedding rehearsal dinner and they were a hit!)
∇ Roasted butternut squash, pureed with a little maple syrup, a dash of salt, and some butter (I used cultured vegan butter to make it dairy-free)
∇ No-knead dinner rolls (dough can be made ahead!)
∇ Broccoli salad (so many delicious versions of this)
∇ Corn Pie (an old family favorite, see recipe below)

Green Green Salad
recipe from Crystal Paine at Money Saving Mom
originally credited to Judy Smothermon
Ingredients:
1 10 ounce pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, cooked & drained
1 green pepper, chopped
1 cucumber, seeded & chopped
1 can green beans, drained & chopped
1 can artichokes, drained on paper towel & chopped
1 can asparagus, drained, squeezed out & chopped
1 small jar pimentos (optional)*
Dressing:
1/2 cup half and half
1 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
2 Tablespoons garlic salt (don’t skimp)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Stir dressing ingredients together and mix well into vegetables. Refrigerate overnight. Note: this will not taste good when you first mix it. It must sit at least overnight.
This is very good just by itself, but it also very good spooned over a lettuce salad with tomatoes and croutons. *The original recipe also included 1 medium onion, chopped, but we did not include this in our recipe served at the Tea Room.
