Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. It is not just a holiday to be thankful (which I very much am), but a holiday to eat some of my favorite foods. Since this is a food blog, I’ll talk about the food, not the thankful part!
I try not to eat Thanksgiving-like foods to preserve the sanctity of how much this holiday means to me. It means a lot to have traditional foods on Thanksgiving.
We begin to cook early and there’s a selection dishes that I deem necessary to having a successful Thanksgiving:
- Turkey
- Green Bean Casserole
- Mashed Potatoes
- Candied Yams
- Stuffing
- Gravy
- Cranberry Sauce
Now, if these requirements are satisfied, I personally don’t even require anything else. Not even dessert. I know, surprising for someone who has a sweet tooth. Although, if I were to pick my dessert of choice it’d definitely be pumpkin pie.
This year’s Thanksgiving is going to be a little different. On the actual holiday, I’m not cooking (very disappointing), BUT, I will be helping a friend make a meal on Saturday (hooray!). So when it all boils down, I will get my Thanksgiving after all. Even if it is Turkeyless. Now it’s time to hunt down some recipes and collect myself before the big day!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
