Thanksgiving is a holiday full of family and good food. Unfortunately, most people usually have the same foods at every annual Thanksgiving spread.

Thankfully, I have come up with foods that will be the ultimate crowd-pleasers at this year's dinner and people will be in awe at how clever you were for serving them!

They might even start asking you to make these foods all year long! To top it off, even the pickiest of eaters will not be able to resist these delicious dishes.
