THE STORY of COLLARD VALLEY COOKS:
In the early 1900s, Albert and Lucile Benefield moved to Collard Valley. They had a simple and happy life together and raised their family there.
Granny and Albert had five children. They taught them the value of hard work, love for God, and the joy of food.  Granny served steaming bowls of collard greens and cornbread; they all shared stories and laughter.
As Tammy, one of their grandchildren, helped her Granny in the kitchen, she learned the art of cooking. Tammy's Mama was also a fantastic cook and baker. Her mother taught her even more about cooking than her Granny did. As Tammy grew up and started her own family, she wanted to carry on those traditions.
Tammy began her own cooking show, Collard Valley Cooks. She wanted to teach others how to make homemade meals with fresh ingredients, just like Her Grandmother had taught her.
Through Collard Valley Cooks, Tammy kept her family traditions alive. She used to love and care for every dish, just like Granny would have wanted.

My mother was always adamant that nobody could have any pie until Thanksgiving day. I changed that in my house. I always make pies on Wednesday and if you want a piece of pie on Wednesday, go for it. There’s so much food on Thanksgiving day that we’ve never ever run out of pie. happy Thanksgiving.

My Mamaw made this day old cornbread chicken and dressing almost exactly like yours. Sometimes (depending on who was coming or not) she would add sautéed mushrooms. My absolute favorite part of holiday meals. She has been gone for 2 years now and this year I will attempt to make this in her memory. Thank you! 🙏

Add a tsp of baking soda to the water and use an ice pick to make a tiny hole in the end of the egg. The peel will fall off.

I've always made cornbread dressing, what my mom did, but never added soup or chicken. Momma from the South, poor folks can't image spending the extra money for soup. It was always delicious.

This recipe looks so good, just perfect! I never would of thought of cream of chicken but it probably was just the thing needed for extra moistness and flavor.

I make a sausage stuffing with white bread broken into pieces, chopped celery, chopped onions, butter and spices. I also use turkey or chicken broth.

[rynebozzell]

I love y’all. Thank you for sharing all this. Happy Thanksgiving and happy holidays.

[mariandenk]

My mom always added a good handful of celery leaves for more flavor.

[csnanny]

I love a little apple and pork sausage in my stuffing, or dressing which ever you call yours. I am 87, have made my cornbread dressing for many years.

[OzarkAlchemy]

I always use sharp cheddar instead of mild. I think it makes a huge difference!

[sherrywilliams]

Hey Michelle here for your 24HR watch party💙

[leyley]

her is an egg hack.. I take the egg, on the rounded side, I take a back of a coffee spoon and tap the bottom you will here a lil crack sound but it won't be broken.. Then I boil the water for 10 minutes with the egg in there shut off the eye, cover and let it sit in the hot water for a good 10 min.. cracking the bottom makes it easier to peel and cook with out burning..

You can lay a wooden spoon across your pot of potatoes while they boil. You can even boil on high, and the wooden spoon will stop them from boiling over

Moma put chicken cornbread n chicken dressing… sage, celery…etc

[ksmill]

Sometimes when I’m out of sour cream I’ll use a little bit of buttermilk. Delicious.I love creamy potatoes.

Hi Tammy. Hope u & family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Good idea putting extra foil around ur turkey. And turn breast down plus apple juice down under. Going to my daughters & family early Xmas Nov. 23 to 26th cause the roads can be dicey with snow & ice. It puts me in the holiday feeling. Thx for being u. ❤️🙏🏻
