Over time my son was conscious of what he ate, forgoing beef burgers for turkey and limiting sugar. I made several turkey burger recipes, some with chutney, roasted pears, or other elaborate ingredients but my kids request the original simple recipe from Everyday Food magazine, “Our Favorite Turkey Burger.” Everyday Food, 2003.

This is my son's favorite birthday cake. It became a birthday tradition. Accompany this rich cake with a big glass of milk. The banana cake is light; paring with peanut butter in the frosting makes it a decadent cake.

When I think of the Super Bowl, I recall visions of chicken wings and young adults. This recipe brings back memories of young adults laughing late into the night.

Scallop Corn

My mom would make scalloped corn every Thanksgiving. This dish brings all of the memories of my Grandma, and a small Midwest farming town to my mouth. It is warm, creamy, sugary and full of freshness. This recipe comes from my Aunt LaDonna My mom would make scalloped corn everything Thanksgiving. After her death, my sisters and I carried on the tradition. On one occasion, my husband and I, and our two small children at the time visited my Aunt LaDonna in the small Nebraska town my mother was born and raised. Her farmhouse is full of antiques and decorated for the season. It was the day after Thanksgiving, and she served us leftovers which included scalloped corn. The dish brings all the memories of my grandma and her house, in one mouthful. It is warm, creamy, sugary and full of freshness. I adapted the recipe from my mom’s, which was missing the fine details, such as measurements of the ingredients. I make it with sweet corn from the farmers market, which my husband grills them in their husks, and then cut off the kernels from the stocks and freeze, just for this dish. I quadruple the dish and make half with oysters. This way everyone gets left-overs. Last Thanksgiving, I made sure my son got a large container of left-overs. He loves this dish with the oysters. Instructions Preheat oven to 325° Combine all the ingredients and place into a well-greased casserole container. Cook until a knife inserted in the middle comes out without smearing of liquidly ingredients adhered to it and heated throughout approximately 60 minutes. Ingredients 2 cups whole kernel fresh or frozen corn 2 cups cream style corn (see note) 2 cups fine soda cracker crumbs 1/2 cup finely chopped celery 1/4 cup finely chopped onions 2 eggs beaten 2/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 cup of milk 1 cup of oysters, drained and chopped (optional) 1 teaspoon salt Ground pepper to taste

Cream Style Corn

In place of canned cream corn, I make my own. I adapted this recipe from The Gourmet Cookbook. Instructions With the ear of corn on a cutting board, hold each cob upright in a bowl and cut off the kernels. Then scrape the cob with the knife to extract the “milk solids.” Transfer the kernels and milk to a food processor and puree for 2 minutes, scoping down the sides. Transfer the kernels and milk solids to a saucepan, add the salt, cornstarch, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer and stir until it is crisp-tender, four to five minutes. Ingredients 4 ears of corn 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon cornstarch Pinch of sugar (optional) 1/3 cup water All In the Family My Loss Survivor Journey All In the Family Turkey Burgers Recipes Turkey Burgers Comedians Can Make a Difference My Loss Survivor Journey Comedians Can Make a Difference Ripple Effect of Suicide Advocacy Ripple Effect of Suicide Chicken Wings and Football Knowing My Son Chicken Wings and Football The Unexpected Medical Bill My Loss Survivor Journey The Unexpected Medical Bill
