The 10 Best and Worst Dishes at Thanksgiving
Youtube

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, my friends. Get out your stretchy pants and leave your belt at home because you know it'll only feel too tight after eating way too much food (but you won't be having any regrets at all and for sure will do it again next year). Paired with the turkey are some of the best dishes that your family members know how to make, and God bless them for it. But of course, not all side dishes were created equally. Some of them reign supreme among the other side dishes, while others sit and stay cold at the table cause THEY'RE DISGUSTING. (In the words of Beyoncé: I ain't sorry). So, which dish is ranked where on the Thanksgiving Food Chain? Well, here is the rank of the best 5 and worst 5 side dishes at the Thanksgiving table.

Worst Dish #5: Beets

Honestly, I can't even stand the smell of beets; keep them away from the Thanksgiving table, they don't belong here.


Best Dish #5: Corn Pudding

Corn pudding seriously makes me feel #blessed. It can be sweet, it can be more salty, it can be AMAZING. Bless you, corn pudding.


Worst Dish #4: Baked Carrots

Carrots should not be soft and mushy. I'm going to repeat that for the people in the back, CARROTS. SHOULD. NOT. BE. SOFT. AND. MUSHY.


Best Dish #4: Macaroni and Cheese

Delicious, cheesy goodness, YES LORD I AM THANKFUL FOR MACARONI AND CHEESE.


Worst Dish #3: Peas

I know maybe like 5 people total who actually enjoy eating peas - so why do they keep showing up at Thanksgiving? Go away, peas, no one even invited you here.


Best Dish #3: Apple Pie

All while I'm sitting there eating my turkey, I'm dreaming about dessert. More specifically, I'm dreaming about some apple pie in my belly.


Worst Dish #2: Pureed Squash

Get out of here with this stuff showing up looking like a pudding imposter - or more like looking up something the dog threw up. Boy BYE.


Best Dish #2: Rolls

Homemade, store bought, french, sourdough, white, wheat, with sesame seeds, without sesame seeds, croissants, baguettes - I don't care what kind of bread it is, I just want it and I want it now.


Worst Dish #1: Brussel Sprouts

These little things don't even look good, literally why do people consume there? And why do they think they should be present on the table at Thanksgiving?


Best Dish #1: Stuffing (The artist formerly known as Dressing)

It smells delicious, it looks delicious, it IS delicious. Stuffing is seriously a blessing to every Thanksgiving table it is on.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope even if you don't enjoy all the dishes on the table, you enjoy the company sitting around it!

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.
