This was the first year I discovered a TRUE Southern Thanksgiving. Last year was pretty close, but this year was ALL OUT Southern!!! Keep in mind, that like most of you, I am used to a traditional turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie type meal.
Behold, a southern Thanksgiving feast: ( I better put labels on some of these things)
Of course, there was a turkey.
& Collard Greens
& Sweet Potato Casserole
& Black Eyed Peas
& Cornbread Stuffing
& Macaroni and Cheese
& Green Beans, southern style (add grease)
& Pecan PieAbsent: Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Pumpkin Pie, Green Bean Casserole, Jello Salads
It wasn't what I'm used to, but it really was a great experience that I'm thankful I had!!!
Have any of you experienced a Thanksgiving like this?

Oh man, I think I was meant to live in the south. My mouth is watering! We got your adorable CHristmas card! THANK YOU! It made my day. Little Noah is so darling!
Now THAT'S a Thanksgiving! Booneville's in my home stake--are his family members..cuz we probably know them!
Sad! I don't know them! I'm not from Booneville...I'm from Starkville, but I miss the South so much! I hope you're enjoying it!
no green jello with cheese on top??? geez, you're definitely not in Utah anymore!
PS 37 days until I see you and my mister!

I love that you put a picture of all the food! Sounds like a fun Thanksgiving experience. I've always wondered what collard greens are!
