Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!
This is part 3 of our Pink Ladies series. Mary Louvestre was an African-American Union spy in Norfolk, Virginia, during the United States Civil War. She delivered details of plans for the conversion of the wrecked USS Merrimack to an ironclad that would be named the CSS Virginia and which represented a great advance in Confederate naval capabilities. While she was not an official Pinkerton Lady, I feel she did the work of a Pink Lady and deserves to be highlighted in this series.

Instead of our “Say What?!” segment I thought I would share a recipe I found interesting and a good side dish for any Thanksgiving table;
