Well? How did you do? Every time we do something new in the kitchen, we learn how to become better cooks. Being a better cook, makes trying new things more fun.. Enjoying the kitchen, has life long advantages for everyone we love, and thats how warm family memories happen.. trust me.. :)

Thanks Carlo for your encouraging reply. I was all set to give up on Thanksgiving cooking!!

Hams do awful in the crockpot. Never "wing it" for squash casserole, and never have squash casserole when you are having chicken and dressing, it's just too much bread.

The good news is that I almost replicated my late grandmother's chicken and dressing. It tasted great, but it wasn't quite fluffy enough.

Any suggestions?

I used one pan of cornbread, 2 pieces of white bread, a few crackers, 1 egg, celery, onions and chicken broth. I seasned it with sage and other assorted spices.

It was nice and moist
