10 Food Items Every Family Needs On Their Table This Thanksgiving

In This Article:

Oh my gosh you all, it is almost that day where we come together to eat, say thanks and give glory to God for another day. Yes, that's right, Thanksgiving is literally around the corner. I hope you have your list together, but if you do not, here is what I would make my family buy and cook. I would help, but I am a tired college student, who would not mind making all the delicious food disappear. Take into consideration all these amazing food items down below.. (You won't regret it but your stomach might in 3 hours)

1. Juicy turkey 

Alison Marras

When you cook your turkey make sure you have juice. Don't be out here eating dry behind turkey... no ma'am

2. Sweet potato souffle

This meal right here, a special person has to make this. It has to be just right, not too many nuts or marshmallows though.

3. Cheesy mac n' cheese

Cate O' Malley

Some of yall like that dry mac and cheese, but for me, it has to be cheesy. If you have not had cheesy, cheesy mac and cheese than this is the year for you to grub on it.

4. Corn casserole

Most people eat green bean casserole but I am not fond it that much, but this right here is banginggggg!! Have someone you know who can throw down in the kitchen to make this.

5. Fresh dinner rolls 

Buck

Nothing to this, but make sure they are not hard. Please, they HAVE to be soft so that butter can spread easily.

6. Honey bake ham

Coke and brown sugar will make such a beautiful glaze for this ham.

7. Hot water cakes 

Grav Weldon

If you don't know now ya know..know. This is the best and only way to eat cornbread. Use a measuring cup when doing this so you can have even amount.

8. Dressing/stuffing

This is my absolute favorite thing to make with my mommy. All the ingredients that go into this meal are just mind-blowing and amazing. You have to help your parents make this just one time and I promise you will always want to make it.

9. Mash potatoes

This needs no introduction, but if it ain't garlic and creamy then there is no other way honey.

10. Finger looking desserts 

Selena N.B.H

This is all up to you. My personal pie I eat is sweet potato pie with ice cream. The pie has to be warm and the ice cream has to be hella cold. Best combination you would ever taste in your life.

I know yall. I am sincerely sorry for making you drool and having your mind stuck on Thanksgiving and all that food. Thanksgiving is not about the meal, but it is an excellent time to reflect back on life and get to know your family and friends again. However, when that food comes out that is when all talking dies down...for now. Which one are you going to try this Thanksgiving? Or if you always have these at yours, which one is your absolute favorite?

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?
