Thanksgiving is centered around giving thanks for our closest friends and family. This holiday represents the first feast the English Colonists and Native Americans shared in America. Today, we celebrate by eating native foods like turkey, potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Here are the top five thanksgiving dishes. 

Cheesy potatoes

Cheesy potatoes are a fun and shareable snack for the whole family. Cheesy potatoes are cut up potatoes baked in cheddar cheese. On Thanksgiving, some bake this delicious treat for the whole family. Cheesy potatoes are always a celebration favorite. 

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is a tasty treat for if you leave room after Thanksgiving dinner. Pumpkin pie is one of the best known desserts on this holiday. It can be enjoyed with whipped cream and is usually the first dessert gone. Nothing soothes your stomach better than a sweet slice of pumpkin pie. 

Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a dish made by mashing steamed potatoes. They are served as a side dish to meat. Mashed potatoes are an easy and inexpensive dish to serve for a single or a large group serving. You can always count on mashed potatoes to be a crowd favorite. 

Bread rolls

Bread rolls are small loaves of bread served as a side dish or appetizer. These can be eaten whole by garnishing them with butter, or can be used to make mini sandwiches. This savory side is enjoyed throughout the night. Bread is definitely a party favorite and a great way to start off the meal. 

Turkey

Turkey is the main course on thanksgiving. Turkey meat can be white or dark and is served with a variety of side dishes. Thanksgiving turkey is meant to be shared with every member of the family. There are many ways to cook a turkey to make sure it isn’t too wet or dry. 

Thanksgiving is a holiday to enjoy eating with family and friends. We give thanks for the food and for the people around us and share a delicious meal.
