The one dish I could not do without for Thanksgiving is my Grandmother's cornbread dressing. When I've had guest over for holidays, I try to ask what dish represents that holiday meal for them, and provide the dish. I know how I'd feel going without dressing for Thanksgiving. I know there are a million ways to make dressing, but this is it for me. What I love about traditional holiday meals is that I know this is exactly what my family ate before I was a part of the family, and it just makes me feel a little closer to those I miss on holidays, and every day in between.
