Thanksgiving Day: The Holiday Dish I Lost In The Divorce

The holidays are a time to take stock of what we're most grateful for in life. For divorcees, that may include no longer having to share a turkey dinner with your ex, your former in-laws and their weird, weird side dishes.

With that that joyous thought in mind, we asked our readers on Facebook and Twitter to share the the holiday dishes they lost in the divorce -- for better or worse. (You probably don't miss your ex mother-in-law's infamous Jell-O mold, but your ex's apple and sage stuffing? That stuff was pretty amazing.)
