Changing the Thanksgiving Menu

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I believe it is for many others too, because of the food. Thanksgiving dinner can get monotonous with the same dishes year after year. Here are five recipes to change up the menu in an easy and creative way.

Bacon-wrapped stuffing bites

Want to change up the Thanksgiving staple of stuffing? Try these bacon-wrapped stuffing bites. These are a great appetizer at the dinner table or can be made post-Thanksgiving with the leftovers. They are also super quick to make with only a 10 minutes prep time, so any novice chef can make these delicious bites.

Butternut squash hummus

A fall twist on a staple dip, butternut squash hummus is another great appetizer for Thanksgiving. This is also an easy recipe that only requires a food processor to make the hummus. This dip is great paired with vegetable chips, making it also very healthy and fresh.

Cranberry cornmeal biscuits


Cranberry cornmeal biscuits are a slightly longer recipe but also a great addition to the Thanksgiving table instead or boring dinner rolls. These biscuits bring in the classic cranberries that many enjoy on this holiday, but in a new and creative way that many will enjoy.

Turkey, cranberry, brie crescent braid


It is often difficult to figure out what to do with all your Thanksgiving leftovers, but this recipe incorporates the turkey and cranberries, with the addition of brie cheese all in a crescent roll crust. This can make a delicious dinner while being very easy to make.


Mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows


A vegetarian dish is usually needed at the dinner table, and mashed sweet potatoes are delicious and easy to make. With this recipe all you need is a slow cooker with sweet potatoes. Once the potatoes are done you can add marshmallows to make them a sweet treat.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
