Backyard Birds – Northern Cardinal
SUMMARY: The Northern Cardinal is a well-recognized backyard bird, often seen as the first bird children learn about. Males are strikingly bright red, while females have muted shades, both featuring crests and black masks. Although shy, they thrive in urban and agricultural areas. Cardinals do not migrate, making them a year-round presence, and they are frequently attracted to bird feeders, favoring sunflower seeds. Their melodious songs, often consisting of “cheer, cheer,” add to the morning chorus. Nesting typically happens in dense underbrush, with females handling most duties. Cardinals hold symbolic meanings in various cultures, often associated with deceased loved ones.

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.
