Every year my family hosts Thanksgiving Day at our house, which consists of getting up at the crack of dawn to start the insane food preparation.

After about an hour or two in, I find myself barking for the food to be ready, so I can only imagine what it's like for dogs. And if your dog is anything like mine, then I'm sure they won't stop shouting until they get their own fixing of turkey and stuffings. Here are 15 Thanksgiving Day must-tries that you're not going to want to miss out on this year:

15. Two Potato Gratin

Because you can't beat the classics.

14. Orange Bourbon Cranberry Sauce

Yes, you can have your bourbon and eat it too.

13. Dark Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

No matter how cute your dog is, they simply can't have a slice of this chocolately goodness. But hey, more for you.

12. Green Bean Casserole With Fried Shallots

You and your pooch will thank me later for this one.

11. Pumpkin Pie With Maple Whipped Cream & Pumpkin Seed Brittle

Can you say maple-kissed?

10. Skillet Cornbread

Looking for a twist? Add full pieces of corn into the mix before cooking!


9. Honey Maple Roasted Carrots

An instant crowd-pleaser.

8. Baked Rosemary Mushroom Polenta

Def a must try!

7. Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Squash With Dried Cranberries & Dijon Vinaigrette

And people think brussels sprouts are boring - psh!

6. Mashed Potatoes With Fried Onions & Bacon Bits


Everyone's favorite classic with a twist.

5. Butternut Squash & Andouille Stuffing


Who says you can't have more than one batch of stuffing on your Thanksgiving Day menu?

4. Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes With Bacon, Brown Sugar & Marshmallows


Whoever said sweets before dinner ruins your appetite was sadly mistaken. Sweets with your meal is the way to live.

3. Wild Mushroom Gravy


Get your veggie on.

2. Maple Glazed Turkey

Every taste of fall all in one entrée.

1. Caramelized Onion Stuffing With Apples & Sage

Add a whole new depth of flavor to your Thanksgiving Day table with this one.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
