Traditional Southern Thanksgiving

I usually serve a traditional southern dinner similar to my mom's. Roast turkey and gravy, stuffing made from breadcrumbs, mashed potatoes, green beans or green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, buttered sweet corn, cranberry sauce, yeast rolls and iced tea. For dessert, always pumpkin and pecan pie, sometimes apple too, and whipped cream served with piping hot coffee. Mom also usually did a baked ham also and sometimes I'll get a small one. It's a lot of work but so good!
