The vegetarians in my family usually get macaroni and cheese for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm trying to come up with a more vegetable heavy dish and also want a festive, special occasion dish like a turkey but without the meat. I came across a dish in "A Year of Pies" by Ashley English that started with a quiche like custard and collard greens topped with a cornbread top crust. I added roasted sweet potatoes and butternut squash, goat cheese and Parmesan for a more elaborate dish with traditional ingredients. The cornbread is from Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything", my most consulted cookbook.
