Nothing says Christmas to my taste buds more than my grandfather's famous Chocolate Gravy. Yes, chocolate gravy! He learned how to make it as a cook in World War II and my huge, Southern family eats it every year on Christmas morning as a special treat!
When I think of Southern holidays, I think of crawfish pie. I plan on serving that up for Christmas Eve dinner. Yum!
Being from Texas, my family makes a BBQ brisket for Christmas instead of a ham or a turkey. It puts a little southern twist on the holiday meal!!
Gotsta have my homemade baked mac n cheese!
My grandmother's recipe for fried green tomatoes! And maybe if I'm doin' it up, making cupcakes w/her famous coca-cola cake recipe!
You made some excellent choices. I LOVE bread pudding, but turducken is one of my all time favorite holiday dishes.
Love & Soul Always, Kay
