The holidays are a time of year that welcome you like your favorite cozy blanket. It's all about family, celebrating with friends, and, of course, food. The scents and flavors of traditional dishes are what take me back to childhood gatherings filled with big turkeys, sweet pies, and side tables stuffed with casseroles. Sure, it's delicious to give the classics a spin, but these traditional recipes are what you're really craving.
