*Not only is this cornbread recipe perfect for Thanksgiving but it makes a great side for chili!
This year, my sister-in-law is bringing the corn bread. Luckily, we have so many family members who are willing to bring a side dish or two. When you are cooking for a huge crowd, help is always appreciated. Each year, we host Thanksgiving at our house and I love doing it. From the cooking to the decorating, I enjoy every part of the day. Of course, having the whole family gathered in one place is the best part!
This cornbread was just one of the many family recipes that my sister-in-law was sweet enough to copy down for me. For my first Christmas with the family, she included it in this recipe book.
Over the years, I have referred to this book countless times. After all, you really don’t want to mess with family traditions! Believe me, my family knows exactly how these recipes are supposed to taste so I have to follow them exactly!
Well, I better get back to work… Right now I am in the midst of Thanksgiving-preparation-craziness around here and I haven’t even committed to a table setting yet!
So far, I finished polishing the silver using this method- this silver method. and I am starting the cranberry sauce in a few minutes.

That recipe sounds delicious! Family recipes are the best. But what is even better is having a sister in law who would write them all down for you. That is awesome. We usually stick to the same menu every holiday in our family.
Gotta try this, maybe next time though since I'm up to my neck on the other stuff for tomorrow! have a happy thanksgiving Shelley!
