I’m so excited for the holidays to be here, a time where we all gather together and give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season planned, too!
I’ve compiled a list of recipe ideas to help you plan your Thanksgiving meal below. Of course we don’t have all of this in one sitting but I wanted to give you plenty to choose from! Click on each recipe to view the complete tutorial of how to make it. Recipes which are in the Southern Plate Classic Comfort Food That Makes Everyone Feel Like Family cookbook are noted in the side along with page number.

Wow, did you just make this so easy for all of us today….with just this one post?!? Thanks for ALL the time you take to gather, organize and post all these recipes to make our lives simpler. Hope this Thanksgiving is your best ever. Blessings to you and yours….Terri
Hey Christy wonderful video makes me wish I could be there. I kinda envy you as my parents passed away years ago and your video made me sad for a moment as I missed all those wonderful traditional Rockwell gatherings where generations of families gathers if not for just a half a day to share wonderful memories together. You have such a blessed life as you cherish every second of your hectic day it’s amazing. One of the things you do that I wished I had done awhile back was document everything as those memories are very important. Always keep that camera rolling as you are all together you’ll never regret it. Wishing you and your family the best Thanksgiving ever and thanks for sharing those wonderful recipes, videos and memories with us.
It makes me wish I had more people to cook for. Good Job on the Video!
I have been going thru cookbooks, looking at websites for my Thanksgiving recipes. Now you come up with todays post. Thank you so much. All I have to do is go to my one stop place and find the best home cooked recipes-and I have no worries that they will be a hit. Thank you so much for all you do. I enjoy so much your new book and it is definetly going to be passed out for Christmas presents. You are truly a southern girl thru and thru. Love ya.
Love you Donna, Happy Thanksgiving!

Christy my sweet mother-in-law that has passed used to say boy howdy. You are the only person other than her that says it. I was missing her today and when I read your comment it made my heart joyous. Thank you!
I am so glad I found you before the Holidays! I am excited and looking forward to trying several of your recipes. I have already tried some of them and they have all been great! Thanks for all your work.
I really enjoy your down to earth personality and the recipes I have copied from the e-mails. We don’t have a large book store in our area, but went to Virginia yesterday to Barnes and Noble and purchased your cook-book. I was going to put it on my Amazon wish list, but couldn’t wait that long. Wishing you and your family a joyous Thanksgiving!
Hey Sally! Thank YOU so very much! You just made my day and I sure am glad you found me, too! I think I’m the lucky one in the deal here!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Gratefully,
Christy
