    Mine isn't complete without a childhood favorite called "Spoonbread" (essentially corn casserole).

    What are your must have Thanksgiving Dinner dishes?

    Mix 7-8 parts Riesling (or your favorite dry white wine) with 1 part Creme de Cassis (sweet cordial made from black currants).

    I mix up batches of it. It's a very subtle-tasting but surprisingly potent drink, and has become my go-to thanksgiving drink.

    Cornbread DRESSING - if it's made with cornbread, it is dressing -- not stuffing!

    Southern style cornbread dressing! That's a staple in my family. Also a broccoli rice casserole that's a good alternative to mac n cheese. Although, mac n cheese is completely acceptable too. ;)

    I thought the difference between dressing and stuffing was whether it was cooked in a separate baking dish vs "stuffed" inside the turkey?

    Me too. I've "stuffed" many a batch of cornbread stuffing, and baked it separately too.

    Well apparently this is why...
    Generally southern states in America call a mixture "dressing" while northern states usually call it "stuffing." The theory is that southern states find the word "stuffing" not genteel enough for their liking.

    LOL we always called it dressing but we also cook it in a baking dish, not inside the bird.

    separate dish

    dressing is what it says on the box but you ignore. it's also what goes on a salad.

    ^^Sounds wonderful! I will give this a whirl. Riesling is my favorite wine and one we have every Thanksgiving. Thanks for the tip!
