10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Mississippi Gulf Coast
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Gulf Coast, a hidden gem praised by Forbes, boasts 62 miles of coastline, including 26 miles of beaches, making it a gorgeous vacation spot. It’s a haven for dolphin spotting with the Mississippi Sound hosting a significant bottlenose dolphin population. The region is not only home to Mississippi’s first craft brewery, Lazy Magnolia, but also harbors a lost city, the Isle of Caprice, and the ancient Friendship Oak at the University of Southern Mississippi’s Long Beach campus. The Gulf Coast is crucial for the U.S. oyster and shrimp industry and offers 210 sunny days annually for outdoor activities. It’s a prime location for bird watching and has intriguing lore, including the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula. Additionally, the Biloxi Lighthouse stands as a historical beacon, almost two centuries old with a tradition of female light-keepers.

Comfort Food for the Thanksgiving Meal Doesn’t Have to be Stuffy
SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings. Additionally, a slow-cooker macaroni and cheese recipe, which can also be prepared in advance, has become a crowd favorite. Both dishes save time and provide delicious comfort for holiday meals. May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
