One of my favorite things to make is cornbread dressing. I love Thanksgiving because I get to make this and then enjoy a plate of dressing and gravy and cranberry sauce...I can really do without the turkey.
Making the dressing is a family tradition...well, maybe not...but it is MY tradition. I always beg Joy and David to help me make it so they will know how when they finally leave home (whenever that may be!), but they aren't interested. Joy usually stands in the kitchen, watches and hands me items as I ask for them. She could probably make it if she had to. I asked David to help me so he could tell his future wife (ha!) how to make it. All he said was, "I'll send her to you and you can teach her."
Anyway, I just finished putting the butter slices on top of the two pans of dressing. Yes, I made two pans. One to take to the family gathering and one for home. We eat lots of dressing! But, we only eat my dressing. Exactly the reason I always volunteer to make it! I will roast a turkey breast on Friday and we will have left overs all weekend long. Cold turkey and dressing sandwiches are the best!
Today I am thankful for being able to create something that we all enjoy and makes my family smile!
Enjoy your own cooking and gathering for tomorrow. I believe that we all have so much to be thankful for that tomorrow should be a day of blessing for everyone. Enjoy your family, relax and take a deep breath...for Christmas is around the corner!
