This dressing recipe is hearty enough to serve as a main dish.
Many, many years ago, we got to my grandmother's house early enough one Thanksgiving for me to see her make the dressing for our Thanksgiving dinner. I watched and learned. As far as I know, she never wrote it down anywhere and I never had either, until I got ready to write this article. You see, there are quite a few things I make by eyeballing ingredients. Some things I add until the recipe looks right, some things until it tastes right and some things until it smells right. In the case of this dressing recipe, it takes a little of all three. -- Got a favorite Thanksgiving recipe you want to share? Post it in the comments below. -- Don’t miss any Suwanee news.

A minute or two of the snooze button means that we will have to rush to get ready for the day. A little bit of rain almost guarantees the commute will be longer. It is easy to become frustrated and to forget what we have to be thankful for. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many children are working on projects where they have to think about what their blessings are in life. Not one of my children have hesitated when asked to list what they want to give thanks about. Without any doubt, the list for each of the kids includes family, friends, food, and God.
