One thing your mom could make is pie. A mean dessert pie. You all have an appreciation for a good baked delicacy because of all the home made stuff we used to eat a lot of. So make sure you have pie crust made before making these holiday favorites. If your crust is done, then these take only a few minutes to make and put together.
