My Favorite Thanksgiving Foods, And No, Turkey Isn't At The Top Of My List

We all have a favorite food we like to eat, especially at Thanksgiving and around the holidays. We all also have a different idea of Thanksgiving foods due to our families or our cultures. What one person might eat on Thanksgiving and has a favorite food for that holiday might be different than what their friend eats. Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving foods my family makes around the holidays and that I like to eat not just for Thanksgiving but for Christmas too.

Pumpkin Pie

Okay, I know it's technically a dessert BUT c'mon? Pumpkin pie is great guys. I can eat a whole pie by myself. Homemade ones are even better.

Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are the bomb. Making the insides from scratch and filling them and getting to eat them. So good.

Green Bean Casserole

My momma makes this every year for both holidays and let me tell you, if I had the stomach for it or was allowed to, I could eat the whole pan by myself in one sitting. I don't know man, there is just something about it.

Turkey

Personally, I don't like turkey so I only eat the tiniest amount on Thanksgiving. But others think it's one of the best parts of the holiday meal. It could be better to me but it's okay. A little bland and dry.

Ham

If your family doesn't make turkey then they probably make ham instead. Which again, personally, I don't really care for so I eat the smallest amount I can.

Mashed Potatoes

Not sure who all makes these at this time but mashed potatoes, especially handmade ones, are the best thing. Potatoes, in general, are great and amazing but hand mashed potatoes are even better.

So what are some of you guys' favorite Thanksgiving foods or even holiday foods? I know they vary based on your culture as well. I went to my ex-roommate's house for Thanksgiving last year and I think the only “traditional" food they had was turkey. So no matter what you eat, have a great Thanksgiving.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
