Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!
This list of menu items is by no means conclusive - it is just a list of the dishes that I have personally prepared and posted since starting my blog. Some are southern regional - meaning you likely won't be finding jambalaya or seafood gumbo in many places of the south for Thanksgiving unless you live where we do, along or near the coast. I hope you find some ideas and inspiration here to host your own southern Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
