TOP IDEAS FOR SIDE DISHES
Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
4 medium-size sweet potatoes
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or herbs, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes two or three times with a fork. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the flesh is tender. Slit the skin to let the steam escape.
Heat the milk, butter, and maple syrup in a large skillet or sauté pan; do not boil. Scoop the sweet potato flesh into the same pan, then mash mixture together with a potato masher. Mash in the lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste; the texture should be slightly lumpy but still mashed. Serve right from the pan or transfer to a serving dish. Dust the top with cinnamon or nutmeg, and serve at once.
Fall Harvest Squash Rolls
Ingredients
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm (105° to 115°F) water

1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup cooked and mashed winter squash
1 cup warm milk
8 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside until foamy.
In a bowl, cream shortening with sugar. Beat in eggs. Add squash and mix until blended. Add warm milk and yeast mixture. Slowly add flour and salt. Continue to mix until dough pulls away from side of bowl. Add flour as needed to make a soft dough, being careful not to add too much. Let dough rise, covered, until doubled in size.

Schedule of Events:

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a traditional Mexican holiday that pays tribute to the lives of loved ones who have passed on. The Día de los Muertos celebration traces its roots to the time of the Aztec people in Central America but was later influenced by cultural and religious practices brought by the Spanish. It is widely celebrated today in Mexico and the American Southwest, though celebrations can now be found throughout the United States due to its universal theme of remembrance, honor, and love. Special exhibits, called altars, are set up as memorials to departed loved ones, and often contain items that were special to them. This may include a photo of the person, samples of their favorite foods, symbols of activities they loved, and bright yellow flowers. Pan de muerto (a typical day of the dead bread) is abundantly displayed during the festival. Sugar skulls (calavera) are decorated, and fancy paper cut-outs (papel picado) add color to homes, tables, and altars.
