Question to the neighbors to the north. What traditional foods do you all eat when celebrating your thanksgiving? Just curious.

Hey everyone! Lifesaver, my mom is from Louisiana (Ruston) so we have a southern dinner w/ the northern influence. We have the turkey (yummmy!) but she doesn't deep fry it. We have the honey baked ham (yummier...I LOVE ham!), collard greens, macaroni and cheese (from scratch...sooooo good!), green beans w/ onions and a lil bacon mixed in, candied yams (my FAV!), and dressing (or stuffing for those that say "stuffing"). Sometimes, she'll fry some okra, but it's not a regular item. Then we'll have potato salad or some kind of salad...it changes year to year. Then my mom will usually buy a cheesecake and MAKE a sweet potato pie!!!! Mmm-mmm good! If you've never had sweet potato pie...ya don't know what you're missing!!! My mom is also a caterer, so you all KNOW that dinner at my house is the GREATEST!!! I can't wait! Wow, now that I'm talking about all this food, I just might have to leave school a little earlier
