10 Foods You Can’t Leave Out Of Thanksgiving
Country Living

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, celebrate, and EAT. This is a list of foods I can’t live without during Thanksgiving.


1. Pumpkin Pie

Every thanksgiving I make what seems to be like 4 or 5 of these things. I usually use the canned version which I think is delicious.


2. Cornbread Dressing

I absolutely love this! My grandmother used to make it every Thanksgiving, but now my mom cooks it.


3. Turkey

Whether fried or baked, a turkey is something that can never be missing.


4. Ham

Now I know you’re probably thinking; why would you have a ham at Thanksgiving? Because it is simply delicious!


5. Squash Casserole

My mom makes this every year and sometimes for no reason, but it still can’t be missing at the feast.


6.Green Bean Casserole

Green beans and the onion chips are amazing and I can’t wait to have these again this year.


7. Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Now I know you are probably thing; can’t you have those whenever you want? Yes, you can but I like to have some for Thanksgiving.


8. Pecan Pie

I love making this for Thanksgiving and it usually is all gone by the time everybody leaves. I typically use a family recipe and some pecans that my dad gets from his work for the holidays.


9. Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potatoes with marshmallows, pecans, and brown sugar on top are amazing!


10. Cranberry Sauce

Some people aren't big fans of cranberry sauce but I enjoy having some during the holidays.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
