Two Delicious Thanksgiving Side Dishes

My husband, two kids and I go to my parents' house every Thanksgiving
for a wonderful home cooked dinner by my mom. One of my favorite
dishes my mom used to make is Sweet Potato Casserole. The reason I
say `used to' is because each year I ask my mom what dish I can bring
and she now has me bring this and another dish, a salad.
My mom is a teacher's assistant at an elementary school and the Sweet
Potato Casserole was one of the dishes brought to a potluck by
another staff member. My mom loved it so much she got the recipe and
we've been having it every Thanksgiving since. It's more like a
dessert than a side dish.
The Cranberry Fruit salad recipe I'm including was also found at a
staff potluck at the school where my mom works. It's sweet-tart,
delicious and very easy which is a big plus at Thanksgiving time! I
hope you'll try them on your tables this year.
