Kandi Burruss Went All Out on Her Family’s Thanksgiving Dinner (PICS)
Is there anything Kandi Burruss can’t do?
Although she’s best known as a successful businesswoman and entertainment powerhouse, The Real Housewives of Atlanta mom has gained a reputation as a serious foodie. In addition to owning a couple of ATL eateries — Old Lady Gang and Blaze Steak & Seafood — Kandi has also proven to be quite the talented cook, as she's whipped up some delicious-looking meals for various get-togethers.
Fans got another glimpse at Kandi’s culinary skills this week when she took to social media on Thanksgiving Eve. The Grammy winner posted an Instagram Story of three desserts she was preparing for her family’s holiday meal and provided a quick breakdown of the other menu items.
What was on Kandi Burruss' 2023 Thanksgiving menu?
“OK, so I’m gonna be up all night, but at least I got my three pound cakes done,” she said in a November 22 video. “When I tell you that thang gonna be so moist… and then mine have a little crunch at the bottom. That thang gonna be good, OK? I’m just letting you know it’s about to be an all-nighter. I still gotta make my dressing and my greens. Cornbread is in the oven, smoked turkey meat is boiling right now.”
