    It's odd that people would comment on you only posting the yummy stuff. Most UA-cam cooks who use the long format, only share the best stuff. I appreciate your hard work.

    I ended up writing all of these recipes. I thought I would just glance and see if there was anything I needed to add to my Thanksgiving table but oh my gosh I want to add all of these! Thank you so much! I have company also this week before Thanksgiving and I'll do some of them then. You are pretty darn good!

    I’m really loving the idea of that couscous with the sweet potatoes and red onions. Because I am trying to be so low carb I am thinking about doing it with cauliflower rice instead of couscous and purple sweet potatoes because they are wonderful cancer fighters. I will let you know how it turns out.

      @ yes they were. It was interesting to use a whole cup of the half-and-half, when it seemed like just half a cup was enough. I kept thinking it was going to make the mashed potatoes runny by adding the whole cup. But then I just proceeded. It did make them creamier which everybody loved.
