It’s no secret that good home cookin’ has a big place in southern culture, especially in the annals of southern roots music — just ask anybody who has had “Cornbread and Butterbeans” by the Carolina Chocolate Drops stuck in their head for weeks at a time (you’re welcome.) With Thanksgiving on the horizon, we asked Pat “Mother Blues” Cohen to share with us a few recipes she likes to return to for the holiday.

We even made them into these handy 3×5 recipe cards! If you happen to try any of these dishes, be sure to take a picture and share it with us — there could be a special treat in it for you!
