It's the most wonderful time of year once again: Thanksgiving. It's the day in which we're almost 110% bound to come to face to face with family members we're giddy to see and those of us we're absolutely dreading to see. Ill-fated family members aside, my favorite part of this gleeful holiday is the enormous amounts of food I'll be consuming, with or without my family to be honest. Below is a definitive list of what, hopefully, my family is planning to present me with after a long and strenuous few months of school I've had so far... clearly.

1. Turkey (or chicken).

Honestly whatever floats my dad's boat once the day comes because he's the king of the main course, with good reason.

2. The mashed potatoes.

Quite honestly, this is by far my favorite part of this glorious holiday. I don't know what it is exactly but I want to take a guess and say it's my ability to eat pounds of mashed potatoes and not feel a thing.

3. Green bean casserole.

Although this is a new incoming favorite of mine, it's pretty high up there on my list of 'Things I Can Eat Pounds and Pounds of On The Daily'.

4. Brussel Sprouts.

Yet another green I can easily eat on the daily and not feel a thing.

5. Mac n Cheeeeeeeeeese.

Based on the amount of emphasis I placed on 'cheese' above, it's clear this is my all time favorite part of the course during this holiday. Recently, I made a gigantic pan of mac n cheese using Almond milk - just some food for thought for you all.

6. Corn.

I'm not entirely too sure whether or not this is a normalcy for other households on Thanksgiving but if it's not, it should start becoming a thing tbh. Grilled Mexican street corn, or Elote, is my sister's handiwork and it's safe to say that I've never been more excited to see her than when she has.

7. Cornbread.

Not really one of my favorites but it seems to do rather well in my family so I know not to question it.

8. Stuffing.

One of the many things I've slowly but surely learned to love and there's no going back after it.

9. Anything cranberry related.

Not a fan in the slightest and if this is one of the things my family decides to present to me after months of crying over my classes, love is dead.

10. Wine.

Jk, my family is all American-Muslim so there will be no wine being served in the Rahman-Ahmed household.
