We all have a favorite food we like to eat, especially at Thanksgiving and around the holidays. We all also have a different idea of Thanksgiving foods due to our families or our cultures. What one person might eat on Thanksgiving and has a favorite food for that holiday might be different than what their friend eats. Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving foods my family makes around the holidays and that I like to eat not just for Thanksgiving but for Christmas too.
Pumpkin Pie
Okay, I know it's technically a dessert BUT c'mon? Pumpkin pie is great guys. I can eat a whole pie by myself. Homemade ones are even better.
Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are the bomb. Making the insides from scratch and filling them and getting to eat them. So good.
Green Bean Casserole
My momma makes this every year for both holidays and let me tell you, if I had the stomach for it or was allowed to, I could eat the whole pan by myself in one sitting. I don't know man, there is just something about it.
Turkey
Personally, I don't like turkey so I only eat the tiniest amount on Thanksgiving. But others think it's one of the best parts of the holiday meal. It could be better to me but it's okay. A little bland and dry.
Ham
If your family doesn't make turkey then they probably make ham instead. Which again, personally, I don't really care for so I eat the smallest amount I can.
Mashed Potatoes
Not sure who all makes these at this time but mashed potatoes, especially handmade ones, are the best thing. Potatoes, in general, are great and amazing but hand mashed potatoes are even better.
So what are some of you guys' favorite Thanksgiving foods or even holiday foods? I know they vary based on your culture as well. I went to my ex-roommate's house for Thanksgiving last year and I think the only “traditional" food they had was turkey. So no matter what you eat, have a great Thanksgiving.
