Since I've been home, I've been back to my habit of watching the Food Network on a daily basis. I find this to be the most pleasant source of entertainment, but am rarely moved enough to actually make anything. Yet as the Thanksgiving specials have been pouring in, there have been various dishes that have caught my eye. Many seem so easy but also new, original and fun! So if you are someone who is motivated to get off the couch and start cooking or if you are someone who enjoys the view of delicious Thanksgiving dishes from afar, I think you will enjoy the following list of the most scrumptious recipes to hit the table:

Baked Mashed Potatoes with Parmesan Cheese and Bread Crumbs

A new, yummy twist on an already creamy, delicious dish! Giada De Laurentiis tends to whip up family favorites.

Soul Sweet 'Taters

Sweet potatoes are absolutely one of my favorites in the fall and obviously on Thanksgiving. While watching Pioneer Woman, my attention was caught by this southern sweet potato dish that looked just delicious. No better combination that brown sugar and sweet potatoes!

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Cake

Again, a new twist on the traditional pumpkin pie. Yet this is no bake! Super easy to make either the day of or the night before to just stick in the freezer. (Literally so easy that my mom actually trusts me with this one.) Refreshing and fun to try!

Skillet Apple Crisp

Anything apple certainly belongs on the Thanksgiving table. An apple crisp is slightly different than the traditional apple pie but will be just as sure to please everyone. Best combination of brown sugar, cinnamon and apples!
