What am I missing?

Thanksgiving thread. share recipes, then bitch and argue about them here.

I usually frequent /o/ (which should be obvious by my trip) but stop by here from time to time.

Anyways. My father and I were talking about Thanksgiving dinner and what we're doing, and obviously got on the topic of previous Thanksgivings. Growing up, we used to always go to my Aunt's (my mother's younger sister) place for Thanksgiving. Neither her, nor my uncle could ever cook properly so the Turkey was always dry, but everything else was at least decent.
Around age 18, we started going to my other aunt's (my dad's younger sister) for Thanksgiving, before irreconcilable personality difference caused us to vow to never speak again. Anyways, SHE could cook, and to this day is one of the best cooks I've ever known (aside from myself and my father). But one year in particular, she did a homemade stuffing mix for Thanksgiving. I love stuffing but this, supposed 'family recipe', turned out as light green mush that tasted just nasty. I could normally overlook that but everything else she made was amazing. She claimed it was my grandmother's recipe, and my dad argued it wasn't since Grandma's never turned out green.

Short of food coloring, how the hell does this shit happen? I know the original recipe called for parsley, but not enough to turn the entire thing green. It's still a mystery how she managed that.
