Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the pinnacle of a Southern host’s cooking life. It’s the opportunity to put out a spread filled with everyone’s favorite foods, like Roasted Turkey of course, Southern Cornbread Dressing, Giblet Gravy, and Sweet Potato Casserole.

Our family also demands this Cheesy Macaroni and Cheese, and then there’s dessert: Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Sweet Potato Pie…the list goes on.
