From Least To Feast, 7 Thanksgiving Dishes That You Should Be Thankful For

Thanksgiving is coming up and we can all pretend that the holiday is about being thankful and whatnot, but let's be real for a moment, it's all about the food.

I mean, as far as holidays go, there is no other holiday that focuses more on the aspect of food than the way Thanksgiving does, however, there are some Thanksgiving staples that are just inherently better than others.

OK, I love condiments probably more than the next person. No joke, I hoard Chick-fil-A sauce.

But for some reason, gravy and I do not mix.

I know people love to drench their turkey and mashed potatoes under a thick layer of gravy, but I am not this person. I don't know what it is exactly about gravy that rubs me the wrong way, but it just doesn't taste good to me.

6. Turkey

Although the turkey may be the face of Thanksgiving, I must say, it is not the best dish of the holiday.

For some reason, turkey is always dry.

This is not an insult to my mom's cooking skills because the rest of my family loves her turkey, but, for some reason, it always tastes dry to me.

Granted, I eat turkey without gravy since I'm not a big fan of gravy, as stated above, but turkey should not have to rely on gravy to make it good.

It should be able to hold its own by itself.

5. Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce from a can is the only acceptable form of cranberry sauce. End of story.

4. Stuffing

All forms of bread are amazing and that definitely includes stuffing.

Whether you make it from scratch or using the pre-made, Stove Top box, it is all good.

3. Green Bean Casserole

Don't knock it until you try it.

2. Pumpkin Pie

I'm not even that big of a pie person, but I think pumpkin pie is absolutely amazing.

Unlike most pies, which only taste great when they're warmed, pumpkin pie can be eaten at any temperature, making it that much more superior to other pies.

1. Mashed Potatoes

Last but certainly not least, the best Thanksgiving dish of all, mashed potatoes.

A Thanksgiving meal without mashed potatoes would be the saddest meal ever. You need to have mashed potatoes on your plate.

It is the best dish and in my opinion, easily the star of the Thanksgiving meal.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
