Unusual Thanksgiving Dishes You Must Try This Holiday

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and it's time to come up with a menu. But what if you want to change things up? Here are four unusual thanksgiving dishes that will make you your dinner unforgettable.

1. Ham and Banana Casserole

2. Turkey Dinner Layer Cake

It sounds like one of those horrible recipes from the 50s, but Foodie and Chow.com contributor Amy Wisniewski assures readers this is the ultimate Thanksgiving meal. It looks like a cake but it has layers of stuffing and ground turkey mixed with instant oatmeal, “frosted” with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and topped with lightly browned mini marshmallows. I’m not sure about the marshmallows, but it doesn’t sound too bad.

3. Scalloped Oysters

Seafood is not the first food you think of when describing Thanksgiving, but if you want to get really fancy this year, why not try making Martha Stewart's Scalloped Oysters recipe. Looks pretty simple, but make sure your guests aren't allergic.

4. Thanksgiving Pizza


Pizza is basically America's staple food so why not include it in this holiday. Sue and Chel from We-are-not-Martha.com made an incredible pizza topped with thanksgiving favorites -- cranberry chutney, turkey, and gorgonzola cheese -- but also gave it a twist. At the center of it all, is an apple pie. Bless these two girls.


Have fun and enjoy Thanksgiving with your loved ones and remember to check with your guests for allergies before attempting any of these.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
