The days are getting shorter, and colder, but our stomachs are getting hungrier.
With Thanksgiving only a few days away, the last of your worries should be that you don't have enough cranberries for the party, or you forgot to make a pecan pie. Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving, or maybe celebrating Friends-giving. Here are # delicious Thanksgiving foods (with links to recipes) to make you shine at the Thanksgiving table of your unbelievable overnight (or couple of days) Thanksgiving Dinner.
Main Course:
1. Turkey
Some cook it in the oven, but there's others who deep fry their turkey. If you have turkey left over the next day you can make a salad with it.
2. Turkey Stuffing
I'm not a fan of stuffing, but then again the only stuffing I ever tried had pecans in it.
2a. Turkey Mushroom Gravy Sauce
3. Ham
The best part of Thanksgiving Dinner, in my opinion, is the warm hickory ham.
Sides:
4. Cranberries (sauce)
Warm Sweet and Bitter Cranberries Jellied or whole berries.
5. Sweet Potatoes Fries
Sweet Potato Casserole, Sweet Potato Slices, but my favorite is Sweet Potato Fries.
6. Mashed Potatoes
