I love cornbread, with chili, in stuffing, or as part of a breakfast with lots of butter. It’s been on my family’s Thanksgiving table for years. But, making a moist cornbread is tricky (let me know if you have a favorite recipe). This year, Thanksgiving was a group effort. Since it was our first time doing Thanksgiving with my dad’s side of the family, everyone had nonnegotiable traditions to share. Leah’s girlfriend, Erika, who is from Alabama, brought her family’s corn casserole recipe, which came from a member of a women’s crafting retreat she and her mom used to go on (how cute is that?). It’s super moist and you can add another can of corn if you want. Everyone was raving about this and it couldn’t be easier. You get sweetness and texture from the corn and creaminess from the sour cream and creamed corn—it’s the best of both worlds. You don’t need any extra spreads for it, though butter is never a bad idea. I’m so glad Erika shared this dish with us and I can’t wait to eat it soon.
