Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and it’s not just about the food—though, let’s be honest, the food is a big part of it. It’s the one day of the year when everyone comes together around a table brimming with love, laughter, and favorite Thanksgiving recipes. No gift exchanges, no glittering chaos—just heartfelt thanks and plates piled high with tradition.
At the heart of the feast is the turkey, and mastering this centerpiece is a must. Lots of folks get stressed out about making a turkey but it’s really just a big chicken. I’m sharing my favorite turkey tips that’ll take your bird to legendary status. And the sides? Oh, the sides. Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without vegetable dishes that bring flavor and balance—think smoky carrots, healthy crockpot Brussels sprouts, and a creamy corn casserole.
