But... wow. Southern Living really has a vast array of recipes to offer this month! Some of them, like the pie pictured to the left are simply mouth watering. (That's a Salted Caramel Chocolate Pecan Pie if you were wondering!)
While our family has always embraced the traditions of our holidays - complete with traditional dishes we all love - I always add one or two new 'somethings' each year to our Christmas and Thanksgiving menu. Sometimes we end up keeping it as an additional 'must have' for future years and other times we've enjoyed it but it hasn't made the 'must make every year' cut.
How about you? Do you have any "must make" dishes or are you one who likes to mix it up each year and always make something new?
