My Favorite Thanksgiving Foods, And No, Turkey Isn't At The Top Of My List

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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
