Special Feature
Looking for that special dish or main dish for your next holiday gathering? Our Birmingham Christian Family (BCF) recipe contributors have you covered from side dish to main dish to dessert!
SIDES
You can’t go wrong with Brenda Gannt’s Squash Alabama paired with her Lacy Cornbread. You can watch the BCF team Squash Alabama in this video. Speaking of squash, you don’t want to miss Ashley Mac’s Squash Casserole.
And what would the table be without sweet potatoes? Dress yours up this year with Kathleen Phillips of Grits and Gouda’s recipe for Roasted Candied Sweet Potatoes.
Miss Annie’s Famous Pumpkin Bread is also perfect to serve at the table and/or to send home as a party favor to your guests.
Need a hearty salad side dish, you can’t go wrong with Ashley Mac’s owner Ashley McMakin’s Chicken Orzo Salad.
MAIN DISH
Author of Happiness is Homemade Ya’ll, Danna Standridge, has you covered when it comes to choosing and preparing your main dish. Here’s her recipe for the “best roasted turkey.” And with turkey, we know we need dressing- we have two delicious options for you- Danna’s grandmother’s chicken and dressing as well as another take on chicken and dressing from Katrina Adams from In the Kitchen with K Marie.
DESSERT
When it comes to dessert, a fan favorite for any family gathering is the tried and true banana pudding recipe from Adelaide Cason, the mother of Bud’s Best Cookies founder, Bud Cason. A key ingredient of course is Bud’s Best Vanilla wafers.
Another great one? Brenda Gantt’s Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. †
