At Red Land Cotton, we are honored to share a piece of our family and our farm with you through our bedding and bath towels! We also like to share little traditions, stories, and recipes because that's just what Southerns like to do and it brings us closer to our goal of showing hospitality to all of you! With that said, we would like to share a little recipe from our grandmother Aldridge's kitchen at Thanksgiving!
PS: you know it's a good one when it calls for a castiron skillet! ;)
