Not Your Mama’s Green Bean Casserole
For many families, Thanksgiving dinners have become a kind of “controlled pot luck”. The hostess cooks the turkey, and guests bring a dish to contribute. Over time certain dishes become family traditions. Just for kicks, I went online in search of recipes that offer you a way to tweak your traditions this year. Let’s start with a side dish- instead of the old green beans, soup and french-fried onions, how about one of these recipes from the Food Network’s hosts (click on the titles to link to the recipes at foodnetwork.com):
