If you’re still deciding on the perfect side dishes for Thanksgiving dinner (or pre-election anxiety cooking project), Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is here to help. In years past, the Veep has shared one of her family’s “favorite Thanksgiving recipes,” her cornbread dressing, on Instagram and Twitter. “During difficult times I have always turned to cooking . . . I hope whenever you’re able to make it in life, it brings you as much warmth as it has brought me – even when separated from those I love,” she wrote alongside the simple five-step recipe.
Kamala’s recipes have been popular online ever since her popular turkey tips video went up on social media, inspiring people on TikTok to cook their Thanksgiving birds like a vice president. But if you’re like me, you know the sides are the real stars of Thanksgiving dinner, so consider making her signature cornbread stuffing to complement your main entrée. Check out Kamala’s post for a step-by-step tutorial (complete with photos) and follow along with the recipe below.
