Here Are the Thanksgiving Dining Options in Shreveport-Bossier

We are just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving and I’m already thinking about that table full of some of my favorite dishes. As one of 6 children, I can still see my Mom working all morning getting this big spread ready for the feast.

Of course we had a turkey, but we would also have a pork roast as a main dish option. We would have so many side dishes. The oyster dressing is probably my favorite. I don’t know why we had this only for holiday dinners. It was so good.

But Mom also prepared string bean casseroles, mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce and so much more. We also had a good choice of desserts. Pecan pie was the favorite in my family.
