Earlier this year, I became an American Friend for HIAS and was matched with a refugee family from Myanmar. Working with them and the other refugees remind me of our blessings in living in a free and democratic country, whose people are secure from persecution, whether religious, political or ethnic in nature. I made eight new dishes this Thanksgiving. I've been enamored by Ree Drummond's new cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks (whose recipes have been tested by cowboys and picky eaters!; her rich mashed potato recipe was our hands-down favorite new dish) and Levana Kirschenbaum's Levana Cooks Dairy-Free: Natural and Delicious Recipes for Your Favorite Forbidden Foods, which I like because she's successfully found pareve substitutes for butter and milk that are healthy and tasty (no non-dairy creamer or partially-hydrogenated margarine for her!).
