I have to have broccoli casserole on my Thanksgiving table. I also like to stuff my turkey with a part of the stuffing that I'm preparing. I just don't add as much liquid to the part I'm using for the turkey because the turkey juices will moisten it just fine. I don't like gummy dressing! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I fear folks just don't appreciate it much anymore since Christmas takes over almost same time as Halloween. I remember when one didn't see any Christmas trees (or Santa) until Thanksgiving night. In my neighborhood, that was the event of the day. Gather 'round the school yard and see the big tree lights come on. Hope y'all at Paula Deen.com have a great Thanksgiving! God Bless.

I love reading about your family and seeing your pictures. I respect the fact that you are teaching your son's family values because so much of that seems to be going by the wayside anymore..maybe someday we will meet and by that time your son's may even have their own cooking show.lol..wishing you lots and lots of love from this country girl's kitchen to Brooke Deen's kitchen of love.
