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.

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.

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.

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.
