Thanksgiving week always begs the question: Turkey or Sides? I am a sides man. You can get about a million casserole variations at this time of the year: green bean, broccoli, squash, sweet potato, etc., etc., but a few weeks ago Katy made a Hominy Casserole that, I guarantee, will be the most popular side [...]
