Thanksgiving at our house wouldn't be the same if I didn't make my mom's stuffing, but I like to try new recipes, too, for side dishes and desserts.

Does your family have a favorite recipe that's a must? Or a cherished recipe to which you've added a fresh twist? If you're willing to share a really special one, please send it and the story to me. Food & Flavor will share the very best with our readers who might like to try them on their holiday tables this year.

Send them to Arlene Burnett via aburnett@post-gazette.com or to her attention, c/o the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 34 Blvd. of the Allies, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15222. Please include a daytime phone number.
