Forget Your Turkey, Feed Me Crescent Rolls And Nothing Else On Thanksgiving

I can't imagine what Thanksgiving would be like without crescent rolls.

Forget Your Turkey, Feed Me Crescent Rolls And Nothing Else On Thanksgiving

You can always tell when it's time for Thanksgiving dinner. Assorted plates line the table, topped with a classic mix of sweet and savory food: cranberries and turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and maple bacon bits mixed in green beans. Each food is amazing in its own way; however, the warm basket of crescent rolls is the only thing I really care about when filling my plate.

Sure, I try a little bit of everything on the counter, but if the meal consisted solely of crescent rolls, I would not complain.

I remember when my grandmother would make the crescent rolls, and my cousins and I would go crazy over them. Our mothers would joke that there was nothing special about our grandmother's rolls because she bought them from the freezer section at the grocery store like everyone else. But at the time, I couldn't tell the difference between store-bought and made-from-scratch.

Despite being able to taste the difference, I would still prefer frozen crescent rolls heated up in the oven when compared with certain classics like stuffing and cranberry sauce. Those are not my vibe.

Crescent rolls are my vibe. Light, flakey, buttery goodness all wrapped in the shape of a moon. Aesthetically pleasing and tasty, am I right? I could honestly eat six and be unashamed.

I eat turkey, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts year-round, but I only get to enjoy crescent rolls twice a year: Thanksgiving and Christmas. This means that I only have a select window in which I can savor their goodness. Now is the time, people. Who's with me?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
