Thanksgiving is a holiday full of family and good food. Unfortunately, most people usually have the same foods at every annual Thanksgiving spread.

Thankfully, I have come up with foods that will be the ultimate crowd-pleasers at this year's dinner and people will be in awe at how clever you were for serving them!

They might even start asking you to make these foods all year long! To top it off, even the pickiest of eaters will not be able to resist these delicious dishes.

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.

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.
