We had many cooking food traditions when Our Family was full and all living in the same town. I tried to carry on the traditions after most of large Family went to Heaven (I hope)
Because of MS crapola, I couldn't do the grand cooking anymore.

DD and DCousin tried to take over but it just didn't catch on. Most of the Family is scattered all over the globe now, anyhoo.
We all had our specialties that evryone expected us to bring to the big gatherings. Mine, for TG was Rum Chiffon Pumpkin Pie...and for Christmas, my own recipe for Buckeyes ( think crispy peanut butter cups)...Candies in the shape a Buckeyes (from the Ohio Tree)
I've told my family about you, Joyce and we're all coming to your home. When are you serving?
