Every year I spend at least 360 days preparing for Thanksgiving. The other days I am recovering. In honor of Thanksgiving coming up, here are the quintessential food for every Thanksgiving dinner.
1. Turkey
2. Pumpkin Pie
3. Pecan Pie
4. Green Bean Casserole
5. Potato al Graten
6. Homemade Bread
7. Spinach Dip
These dishes are what I look forward to from the beginning of December. With family all around you and the memories that are being made, the food is one of the smallest parts, but to me it is one of the key enhancers. Our generation is starting to get to the age where we can cook and bring things to family or friend’s Thanksgivings. Now is the time to find the food or foods that really make the holiday for you. One of the best feelings is having your signature holiday dish. Looking forward to making it and sharing it every year becomes more than a tradition — it becomes your holiday lifestyle.
