Howdy y`all! It's officially the holiday season in the southern United States! Disney World is putting up their Christmas lights, Graceland and the Tennessee Mountains are putting up their decorations as well, and The Biltmore House in North Carolina is also decorated for Christmas.
But, before all the Christmas trees, Santa Clauses, presents, parades, cookies, and carols, we have to celebrate the harvest first with Thanksgiving! Too often this holiday is overshadowed by the holiday season even though Thanksgiving is considered part of it. Just like Christmas, this holiday is celebrated with a huge feast. And just like Christmas, The South knows how to do it! Here are some Southern inspired Thanksgiving Dishes to enjoy!
