Thanksgiving Turkey? Pshhhh – EVERYONE knows that Thanksgiving is really all about those sides. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, brussel sprouts, green bean casserole – can you say yum? I am usually all about trying to get fresh greens and veggies into my diet, but Thanksgiving is surely the one day of the year that I let that go. Your Thanksgiving plate just might be the most PRIME real estate that you have ever had your hands on. Choosing the correct foods to fill it – woof, big decisions! (Kidding, but also not kidding…)

Stuffing

MY FAVORITE PART OF THANKSGIVING! And in my opinion, the BEST Thanksgiving side dish of them all. When else do you get to have stuffing all year? Like, never! I am embarrassed to admit that I only JUST learned some people refer to stuffing as “dressing.” Whaaaa? I guess it makes sense? But it will still always be stuffing to me!
