Do you know what the most popular Thanksgiving side dish is in Arkansas? 

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a little over a week away? This is one of my favorite holidays. It is a chance for the family to get together and enjoy a great meal and some football of course.

Our Thanksgiving meals like most folks are always a great mix of traditional food and sides. My father-in-law is in charge of the meats and the turkey and ham are always delicious, and my mother has everyone in the family asking her for a non-traditional food, eggrolls.

From my uncle's hot water cornbread to my aunt's corn casserole, even the traditional mac and cheese, the rolls, and my granny Sue's cornbread dressing, it is all so good.

But what is the most popular Thanksgiving side dish in Arkansas? Will it be the traditional cornbread dressing? Maybe it will be something way out of left field and surprise us all. Zippia did a little research using Google trends and found out what is the most popular Thanksgiving sides in the United States. They say according to their research Thanksgiving may need to be called mashed potatoes or bread day.

Don't get mad, but gravy is the most popular Thanksgiving side dish in Arkansas. Is it really a side dish? I do use it on a lot of my Thanksgiving meal so I guess it could be considered a side dish.

What Makes This House in Texas Unique? It's Totally Underground!

This is one of the craziest houses ever because it's totally underground.
The house is located in Buffalo, Texas. The house is $3,000 Square feet and sits on or should we say under almost 40 acres. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and no windows! But the owners got creative bringing the outdoors inside. Check out the murals in the house. Painted trees, blue skies plus a room that has a beach scene mural. Why would you need windows?
