A: Hands down favorite is a sweet potato dish that my SIL makes with pecans and brown sugar....I also like Dressing a lot,,we put chicken meat in our dressing....so it is really a seperate dish.....we have mashed potatoes and green beans,,,real green beans,,not the canned kind...His Mom, before she died a few ago,,,would fill the table with country side dishes,,like field peas, turnip greens, fried okra... Almost everyone has a version of this cake,,it is one of favorites at Christmas,,, 7-UP Cake 1 box yellow cake mix 4 eggs 1 sm.box pineapple or vanilla pudding 3/4 cup oil 1 10 ounce 7 Up or any lemon-lime drink Icing 2 eggs beaten 1 1/2 cup sugar 1 T heaping flour 1 stick margarine melted 1 small can crushed pineapple 1 1/2 cup coconut For cake: Mix 1st four ingredients. Beat until light and fluffy. Add 7 Up slowly and mix well. Bake at 325 for 40 to 45 minutes. Spread with icing while hot. For icing: Blend eggs, sugar, flour, margarine and pineapple. Cook until thick. Add coconut and pour over hot cake. ( I use my microwave to make the icing. I cook for 3 minutes, stir, then at for 2 minutes intervals and stir each time until reaching the thickness I need. How many times depends on the temperature of the ingredients when you begin.)
