Thanksgiving is coming up fast and to prepare, we will share a couple of
America’s favorite dishes for the occasion. Number 1 is of course roast turkey, many
families of course have different methods and recipes when it comes to turkey but even
a basic recipe can go a long way. But the key ingredient to a happy Thanksgiving is a
good stuffing, put simply, stuffing is seasoned bread cubes mixed with onions and herbs
which can be baked inside the turkey or on the side as a dish. There is no doubt that
stuffing is a very popular, even required, part of Thanksgiving. Speaking of necessity,
Mashed potatoes are incredibly important to a Thanksgiving feast, a simple yet
satisfying dish that is second only to its counterpart, mashed sweet potato. Many prefer
sweet potatoes over regular mashed potatoes, where they add marshmallows on top of
the sweet potato to crisp.
However, if you want something more traditional you can never go wrong with a
proper casserole whether green bean or corn, a casserole can be a good side and even
a main course for vegetarians. Of course, no feast is complete without cranberry sauce,
the combination of sweet and tart is perfect with Thanksgiving turkey. The flavors just
seem to be made for each other. You can also use the sauce to spread over turkey in
your leftover turkey sandwiches. Every Thanksgiving needs a good final dish and what
better way to end it than with pumpkin pie, but why limit yourself to pie? Thanksgiving is
synonymous with pumpkin pie, so pumpkin pie spice is everywhere this time of year.
Doughnuts, pancakes, and waffles, you name it, there’s always a sprinkle of pumpkin pie
spice in there. But no matter what you have for Thanksgiving, it’s important to remember
that family is what makes the holiday.
