Cooking Tips and Recipes

Surprise your family this year with an over-the-top decadent Southern Thanksgiving dinner with a deep-fried turkey, Southern-style dressing, and sweet potato casserole. A deep-fried turkey is a Southern tradition in many states. Make your cornbread for the dressing in a cast-iron skillet to give it that authentic Southern taste. Brown sugar and pecans contrast deliciously with the sweet potatoes. Revise the recipe to fit your household size, and you'll be good to go. Just remember to make enough for leftovers so you can be feasting and celebrating at home over the long holiday weekend. To purchase the groceries for this meal, check out PCC Community Markets.

Safety In the Kitchen

It's always important to play it safe in the kitchen, but especially now when we all need to avoid hospitals. One of the first safety measures in deep frying a turkey is to move it all outside of the kitchen. Be sure to keep the fryer away from any wooden structure, especially decks and trees. If you are incorporating little ones into the cooking, be sure to educate them on the proper way to carry a knife and to stay away from the hot surfaces.
