I don’t know about you, but Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. As someone who loves to cook and to entertain, this is the Super Bowl of holidays. More than the food, family and football, though, Thanksgiving is a holiday that allows us to take time to truly reflect on the many blessings all of us have.
Back to the food part, though, here is a menu (with links to the recipes) to help make your Thanksgiving dinner as special as the memories you are sure to create spending time with your family.
Cranberry Sauce
Parker House Dinner Rolls
Pumpkin Pie
Pecan Pie
We’d love to hear some of your family’s favorite recipes, too! Email them to editor@thecypresstimes.com and we will share with our readers.
Also, some interesting things about traditional Southern Thanksgiving food and customs:
We call it “dressing,” not “stuffing.” It is not stuffed in the bird, it is a side dish.
It is made with cornbread, not white bread.
We call them “sweet potatoes,” not “yams,” and despite all of the sugar and marshmallows, they are still considered a vegetable, not a dessert.
We actually do make a thing called giblet gravy, and if it’s authentic, it will have hard boiled eggs in it.
Many Thanksgivings in the South are spent in shorts and flip flops with the air conditioning on!
