A Southern Thanksgiving
A SOUTHERN THANKSGIVING is special and I like to plan my menu with flair and innovation. Every year I’m inspired to take traditional tastes and flavors and spin them on their head with an unexpected twist emphasizing seasonal ingredients. Over the years I’ve tried lots of recipes and I thought I’d share some of the big hits with you since I know you will be prepping for your Thanksgiving dinner this weekend. Fair warning: Desserts are always decadent. Click the links for recipes. Bon Appétit!
