Gobble, Gobble, Gobble this food up!

Thanksgiving day is a day for the entire family to come together and enjoy one another’s company. Once this jovial day is coming to a close, families will traditionally sit down, eat a feast, and toast to the good things in their lives.

These classic Thanksgiving Day meals will impress your entire family, even that pesky aunt who only shows up once in a blue moon.

1. Honey Smoked Ham:

Ham, when prepared correctly, is moist, favorable, and easy to make. It can be prepared in several different ways, such as Honey-smoked, Pecan Baked, and even Pineapple Ginger Glazed; you have a mountain of choices. Nothing beats a savory slice of ham when shared with the ones you love.

2. Pumpkin pie:

Pumpkin pie is a classic that everyone enjoys during the holiday season and has inspired many other seasonal foods/drinks. Pumpkin pie is another Thanksgiving Day food that is remarkably easy to make on your own and even easier to buy. It is a flavorful dessert that the entire family will love.

3. Turkey:

Turkey is a delectable main course for your Thanksgiving Day feast. It offers a more pronounced poultry flavor, while being tougher than chicken. Although Turkey is harder to make than ham, because it has a tendency to dry out if overcooked, it is both a delicious alternative and a classic.

4. Sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows:

Sweet potatoes are not only delicious but are extremely healthy for you; they contain Vitamin A, B6, and fiber. Although covering them in marshmallows is not exactly healthy, it is a fine way to trick young kids into eating something healthy. Sweet potatoes are delicious on their own, but the creamy deliciousness adds to the irresistible holiday vibe.

5. Mashed potatoes:

Another, one that is far less healthy as it is high in starch, is a delicious meal that has to make the table on this special day. Mashed potatoes are much like ham, they are easy to prepare and can be made in many different ways. Several popular forms are Bacon-cheddar, Smokey, and the Classic. Mashed potatoes are a great side dish for the ham or turkey you have prepared.

6. Cranberry sauce:

Cranberry sauce is a tangy side dish that is sure to please any berry lovers in your family. It is a fun and easy-to-make dish but can also be bought in almost every grocery store. This crimson condiment is a beautiful and delectable compliment to any Thanksgiving meal.

7. Green Bean Casserole:

Green bean casserole is a healthy way to entice your little ones to eat their greens. With creamy veggies and crunchy French fried onions on top, this side dish delivers the best of both worlds all in one dish. Green bean casserole is an easy-to-make holiday meal that will leave everyone wanting more.

Thanksgiving day is a time to celebrate what you have with the ones you love. It is a day of relaxing by the fire while you watch the football game or play cards. It is a day to reflect on how lucky you are to be in the company of the people around you. Thanksgiving is also a day that allows you to give back to your community, whether it’s by donating a turkey or helping out down at the food settler.
