Thanksgiving MVPs 🏆

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

It is one week from Thanksgiving! Time to make sure your Thanksgiving menu is planned OR you find a dish that will make you the most appreciated guest at the table.

So I have gathered the recipes you (and I) turn to year after year to make your Thanksgiving a HUGE success.

My Favorite Way to Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Mashed potatoes the EASY way. And this recipe keeps them warm right up until the Turkey is carved.
#1 Thanksgiving Recipe on My Site: Every November, I hold my breath that this recipe does not crash my site! It is just so popular and GUARANTEES your turkey turns out perfectly juicy and flavorful.
My Papa's Thanksgiving Dinner Contribution: An old fashioned Thanksgiving side dish that is so simple, yet a holiday must-make!
#1 Thanksgiving Appetizer: And adorable to boot!
The BEST Corn Casserole: No box needed, yet just as easy!
My Son & Dad's Surprising Favorite Thanksgiving Side Dish: Tart, sweet, and about as easy as it gets!
My Mom's Favorite: She NEVER thought her sweet potato casserole would be replaced. But mine trumped hers and I can safely say that because those words came straight from her!
My Daughter's Favorite Side: (she loves this more than mac and cheese!)
The Salad I Make EVERY Year (and LOVE it SO MUCH!)
A Fan-Favorite: I have had SO many emails and DMs throughout the years stating how much people LOVE this classic made without canned soup.
What I Make for Dessert Every Year: Easier than pie and better tasting in my opinion. I actually have 2 in my freezer right now.
The MOST Popular Thanksgiving Leftover Recipe: And it tastes NOTHING like Thanksgiving.
