Sausage, apple, and leek stuffing is a perfect complement to the Thanksgiving turkey.

Almost everyone has a favorite holiday recipe or two that has been passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes it's a recipe learned and shared from the heart. Other times it might be a stained index card covered with faded handwritten notes, or a bookmarked page in a cookbook.

Do you have a favorite way to roast a turkey? Does your family prefer cranberry sauce or cranberry relish? What about marshmallows atop sweet potato casserole – yes or no? Has your family adapted American holiday cuisine by adding spices and flavors from other cultural traditions? We want to hear about it. 

If you'd like to share your family's favorite holiday recipe – and it can be anything from appetizers, sides, desserts, to the main dish – please email it with a horizontal photo to food@csps.com. We will share a selection of your best recipes right here on our recipe blog, Stir It Up!

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
