The clock is counting down! There are 4 days to go. I’m freaking out excited about hosting Thanksgiving for the first time!
The menu is set. It’s going to be a full blown feast.
To feel more at ease about all of this, I am doing my food shopping tonight. I picked up a few things last week. Including a couple of boxed cornbread mixes. Is it lame if I make cornbread from a box for a holiday?
I’m no Sandra Lee (cocktail time anyone?), but is it okay to have some things semi-home made? What do you think?

Weeelllllllll. I am a soul food diva so on special occasions I like to do homemade. HOWEVER, spicing up box muixes ork if you know how to do it. Add fresh hers o even veggies to kick it up a notch. Good luck and don’t forget to make a signature drink.
Mintini’s or Mindy’s Rum Punchers! You know!!!!!!
MINTINIS?!?!?! OMG! I love you for this!!! I’m thinking vanilla vodka, cranberry juice, & club soda! Meeeow! Thanks for the idea!

Heck yeah. Semi-homemade is the way to go 😉
YES! Use the box! Even more important than everything being homemade for T-giving, is a hostess who is calm and having fun! No one will know the difference anyway. Boxed cornbread is delish!
Thanks Jamie! I’m going to add chopped jalepenos to one batch and some craisins to the other, so I’ll add a little personality to it. What have I become?! HAHAHAH! I’m wiggin out about cornbread?! HAHAH!
