Since the 1980s my go-to Thanksgiving side dish was broccoli casserole. Although I shared that recipe, it was always requested for our Thanksgiving gatherings. But as the years pass, our family gatherings – which used to be quite large! – have dwindled down to barely a few. Parents and some siblings have passed, some have moved thousands of miles away, ….. the only constant in life is change. We are older now, and are now invited to local friends and neighbors places for Thanksgiving. They tell me, “Please, just bring yourselves!”.  I think they don’t want me to ‘go through any trouble’ and just enjoy the day. So instead of cooking something to share, we’ll just take a bottle of good wine. And I’ll make that broccoli casserole for hubby and me, to go with the leftovers that are almost always sent home with us. Wishing you all a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.
