First of all, many apologies to my blogging community for my nearly week-long absence. It was a crazy week at school and I lost my blog time. But I am BACK.
Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday because it’s the one day I feel totally confident about my cooking. I love making a mountain of food and eating leftovers for the whole next week. I love getting up early and starting the turkey. I love peeling potatoes and watching cheesy Christmas movies and drinking cheap wine and dancing around in my apron and pajamas. It’s pretty much my favorite day of the year.

For whatever reason, homemade dressing is the thing that always intimidates me and I always end up with a box of Stove Top and a whole lotta shame. But not this year. THIS year, I am going to conquer Thanksgiving dressing. I’m torn, though. I have two recipes I'm thinking of trying. So I need your thoughts…
Should I make Carmelized Onion and Herb Stuffing courtesy of Real Simple Magazine OR Cornbread Dressing handed down from my grandmother?
Decisions, decisions.
Oh, yeah, and I’m pleased to announce the winner of the vintage handkerchief giveaway!
And entry #4 is…
Congratulations, Kate! Send me an email with your address and I will get your gift in the mail right away…
love, elizabeth
You go girl! Wow, I can't even imagine cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner all by myself. Hope your homemade dressing turns out awesome this year!
ReplyDeletedef. the recipe handed down from your grandmother! :)
ReplyDeletei am so excited for Thanksgiving too. the day after Thanksgiving, I can't wait for it to be Thanksgiving again, haha.

ReplyDeleteYou cannot go wrong with following your grandma's recipe. Glad to see you back! I figured you were in the grad school black hole...I spend a lot of time there myself. ;)
ReplyDeletei vote for Grandma's. I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is my favorite too. I think I might even prefer the day itself to Christmas day - it's so slow and beautiful and the food is so thought out and well prepared. And I can't vote because I don't like any kind of dressing/stuffing. *Gasp* (o;
