My step-mom is American and American Thanksgiving in her house in a BIG deal! They have a "Turkey Bowl" every year, a big football game - one for the adults and one for the kids during the Thanksigivng weekend festivities.
When I was making Canadian Thanksigiving dinner this year I asked my three younger siblings (who are also half American) what is something they loved eating at American Thanksgiving in Chicago?
The answer: cornbread.
What could be a better thanksgiving sidedish than warm cornbread. I made this dish for my thanksgiving this year, but I will share the recipe with you for American Thanksgiving as it is a classic American sidedish - one that the Food Network Stars just can't get enough of this holiday! Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa) and Paula Deen are the two Food Network gals who I think can cook this side dish the best! Paula is from the South, so cornbread is what she does best!
