The Ultimate Ranking Of THE BEST Thanksgiving Dishes Of All Time

In This Article:

While the origins of Thanksgiving are controversial, it's now viewed more as a holiday that gives you an excuse to eat as much food as you can, take a nap, and then watch a Christmas movie (or five).

Here are the top 10 dishes to stuff your gullet with this Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

1. Turkey/Ham

A cult classic. You can never go wrong with either of these, or both if you're feeling snazzy!

2. Any Kind Of Casserole

My personal fave is corn casserole, however green bean casserole is another Thanksgiving favorite.

3. Crescent Rolls/Hawaiian Rolls

While these may not technically be a dish, they are a quintessential part of the Thanksgiving food eating experience.

4. Pumpkin Pie

Now you can mix this up with other types of pie, but nothing feels more like Thanksgiving than a slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top! Pecan pie is another Thanksgiving-themed pie, if that's more your jam.

5. Literally Anything With "Potato" In The Name

This also includes mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, but cheesy potatoes are something my family makes every year and, let me tell you, they are DELICIOUS.

6. Candied Yams

Put some marshmallows on top, and you don't even realize you're eating yams.

7. Stuffing

You don't really know what's in it, but someone always brings it.

8. Cranberry Sauce

The universal condiment during Thanksgiving.

9. Cornbread

Not linked with crescent or Hawaiian rolls because cornbread is an entire experience all on its own.

10. Green Beans

They're good for you and you'll need to eat at least one healthy thing to make yourself feel better!

Eat to your heart and stomach's content, this holiday is about actually being able to enjoy gluttony!

Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

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.

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.
