    I make my SC southern cornbread with 5 ingredients: biscuits, cornbread, onions, sage and turkey Broth . My meal includes: Turkey, ham, jezebel sauce for the ham, cranberry sauce for Turkey, dressing, broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole, cranberry gelatin , Mac and cheese, potato salad, deviled eggs, green beans, pecan pie bark, Chocolate pie and banana pudding. I have been making this complete meal by myself for 30 years and now have to make it gluten free. I love cooking, feeding people and sending people with leftovers and taking plates to the homeless.
