Fight me, green bean casserole!

The Definitive Ranking of Thanksgiving Dishes
Proteek's Blog

When it comes to Thanksgiving, everyone has their favorite dish. But, if we're being honest some are definitely better than others. As the clear expert on Thanksgiving cuisine, here's the definitive ranking of all Thanksgiving foods, by me. I'm sure you'll all agree.

8. Green Bean Casserole

Sorry, green bean casserole, but no. I have never in my life heard someone say that green bean casserole is their favorite dish and that's because it's nasty. Don't get me wrong, I love green beans and those little crispy onion things as much as the next person. But somehow green bean casserole managed to be the worst thing ever despite having so much going for it, which is why it's bottom on the list. Sucks to suck.

7. Turkey

Turkey might be the star of Thanksgiving, but it's just...fine...I guess? I mean I have no beef with turkey (no pun intended) but it's nothing special, especially compared to some of the other dishes. Like green bean casserole, I've never heard anyone say turkey was their favorite dish at Thanksgiving. It basically tastes like chicken, just a little different. I already eat chicken like every Monday. It's boring. Next.

6. Rolls

I love rolls, but I can eat them whenever. I can get them Easter, Christmas, Tuesday. The fact that they're not an exclusive Thanksgiving food makes them rank lower on my list.

5. Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are creamy, yummy, and most importantly: potatoes. Who doesn't love potatoes?? Add some gravy and boom you're in Heaven, congrats.

4. Stuffing

STUFFING IS A STAR. You can do so much with stuffing. You want is spicy? You got it! Want it with sausage? No problem. What about even oysters? Apparently. You do you. Stuffing doesn't judge.

3. Cranberry Sauce

Lemme tell you about my friend, cranberry sauce. Cranberry sauce is good on its own, or mixed with your turkey, your stuffing, literally anything else on your plate. You could just cover your whole plate in this yummy, tart goodness and it'd be fine. Cranberry sauce could probably make even green bean casserole taste palatable.

2. Sweet Potato Casserole

THIS is how you do a casserole, alright? Sweet potato casserole is a gift from God himself. It's like a dessert for dinner. THERE ARE MARSHMALLOWS ON IT. If you don't like this delicacy, you can fight me.

1. Pie


Pie is the true, official MVP of Thanksgiving. You've got Apple, Pumpkin, AND Pecan (and that is my ranking of the three). Let's be honest, all Thanksgiving dinner you're just counting down the minutes till you can get in on some of that sweet pie action.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
