Cornbread dressing. I love that stuff.
Yes, please! No boxed mixes for the holidays! Real food is best.

Yes! I have had this every Thanksgiving since I was a little girl. It is simple and delicious. It is best if made a day in advance.
Same here, though we tweak the recipe slightly to add one granny smith apple in addition to the orange and only a half cup of sugar. This plus the cooked cranberry sauce I make (with red wine, mulling spices, and crystalized ginger) are my favorite sides. Though I do love the stuffing too. And the mashed potatoes and gravy. All of it really.

Usually carrot but it can be pumpkin or squash. It can be spicy or mild. It can be vegan or made with pork fat.
I service it after cocktails but before seated appetizers. It became a sort of tradition after I realized that the pot was emptied every time I made it (the crock pot; I made in advance).
What's a seated appetizer? Just curious as I think of appetizers as something that would go with cocktails, not be served at the table. What do you serve for seated appetizers?
Soup, salad?
She's serving the soup before appetizers. And salad is a salad course, not an appetizer. Really just curious because I always want to do a multi course meal but then people get full before the main course so the idea of a seated appetizer is intriguing because I assume it's something quite small. Maybe it's an amuse bouche type of thing?
People shouldn't get full because 1) the courses themselves are small and 2) the meal itself also should then be a reasonable portion

CORN PUDDING
2 15 3/4oz cans cream style corn, NOT drained
1 box Jiffy Cornbread mix
2 eggs (you could use egg beaters)
2/3 C milk (use skim/no fat)
1/2 C cooking oil
1 dash garlic salt (optional)
Mix together and pour in to a greased 9X12 baking pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes (my note: it can take an hour).
My kids love it and it takes all of 3 minutes to throw together.
I use a similar recipe but given how much liquid is in yours I think yours truly may be more "pudding"y and mine is a bit more spongy/solid:
1 can drained corn
1 can creamed corn
1 box Jiffy mix
8 oz sour cream
1 stick melted butter
Mix and bake.
