I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year and I couldn’t be happier. My menu is set, recipes gathered, and my grocery list is complete.
Hosting Thanksgiving can be both exciting and stressful. I can clearly remember burning the turkey the first year I hosted Thanksgiving. There was no saving it. I broke into tears my perfect day was ruined.
My mami and sisters joined me in the kitchen to ensure me Thanksgiving was not ruined. I cried, they made me laugh and all was well. We proceeded to feast on sides and sandwiches. It was a great day.
After that day I decide not to put added pressure on myself – it takes all the fun out of the day. I set my menu, create a solid grocery list and am always open to new tasty ways to relieve the stress.

And what’s Thanksgiving without dressing? Today I want to share with you a simple Thanksgiving dressing studded with poblanos that is the tastiest side dish. Studded with plenty of poblanos my dressing can be made with homemade cornbread or store-bought.
Poblanos, onion, and celery are sautéed until soft, seasoned with fresh thyme, salt and pepper before mixing with cornbread. Baked until toasted my poblano dressing is the ultimate side dish for your Thanksgiving.
