COME TOGETHER

Party Starters • We had a potluck at work, so I started cooking these meatballs in the morning. By lunchtime they were ready. And they were a big hit!

Let’s Talk Turkey • Add wonderful flavor to your turkey dinner through the use of delicious herbs. Make sure you use the drippings to make gravy! —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Other Entrees • This casserole pairs mashed potatoes with savory meat filling and tangy barbecue sauce.

Roll with It! • My mom made these rolls almost every Saturday so they'd be ready to bake on Sunday for company. They take a little time to prepare, but the homemade flavor is well worth the effort! —Jean Fox, Welch, MN

THE SIDE GUIDE

Pie, Oh, Pie! • One of my favorite make-and-take desserts, this deep-dish pie is based on a beloved Hungarian recipe popular in this part of Ohio. The easy cookie crust is the best part.

More Sweet Treats • Elegant and freezer-friendly, these individual cheesecakes are perfect for unexpected guests. They're so good, they even won a blue ribbon at our local county fair!

Bring on Breakfast • The brightly colored fruits in this salad will perk up your morning. This is such an easy dish to make for get-togethers.
