Simmons Homes

As we plan for this Thanksgiving Holiday, we would like to take this opportunity to express our sincerest gratitude to all of you who have put your trust in us to help you create your dream home.  Our business relies on the recommendations and support of those in our communities, and we want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who continue to support our mission at Simmons Homes.

Thanksgiving at the Simmons’ home is one of our favorite times of the year.  It gives us the opportunity to be surrounded by family and friends, and appreciate the numerous things we are blessed with.  We plan on staying true to our traditions, eating too much turkey, taking an extra scoop of sweet potato casserole, sneaking another piece of pie, and of course laughing until our bellies ache.

Praline Sweet Potato Casserole is a special Simmons Family Recipe we would like to pass along to your family.

(One more tip for you holiday cooks out there: When making stuffing, We make additional croutons by drying out bread and cutting into small cubes and cooking them in butter and then we add to the store bought croutons and seasoning crumbs.  It really adds more flavor!)
