We are almost to everyone's favorite holiday, Thanksgiving! While we all like giving thanks and hanging out with family, we all know what we are really looking forward to.

The food of course! Share with us what your favorite Thanksgiving food is, what you usually like to cook, and what you absolutely hate!

Personally, I cannot stand cranberry anything. But you better believe I go all out on the turkey!

Let us know!

    I would enthusiastically eat everything in that photo! However, that pecan pie is speaking to me at the moment.

    not a huge turkey fan unless it’s covered in gravy.. but my favorite part of the meal is the stuffing (I think some folks call it dressing or something like that),

    Well now this is a tough one. It's not so much one particular dish as much as the combination of all the dishes and the blending of all the different tastes and flavors!

    I love pumpkin pie and cornbread dressing with lots of onion and pepper and celery. I don't mind turkey or ham. I even like the green bean casserole although I make mine with pork rind crumbs instead of onion rings.

    I can't believe Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away! I'll be cooking this year, and it will be my first time making a turkey. I'm super nervous and I hope it turns out okay! I got a turkey brine kit, so that should guarantee my success. 🤞🤞

    As for favorites, I love it all! I think my absolute favorite is mashed potatoes and gravy, though. You can't get any more "comfort food" than mashed taters and gravy! I'd have to say the only thing I really dislike, and only mildly, is pumpkin pie.

    I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving and eats to their heart's content! 🦃 🍽️

    Just found out we got invited somewhere for Thanksgiving - though we had prepared just in case by buying an Oven-Ready-Roaster (Chicken), Stuffing Mix, Stuff for Sweet Potato Pie (i.e. marshmallows and sweet potatoes), and Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce —- Sounds like we may be having more than one big meal for the holiday season, though, now that we already have all this.

    The last two years I have bought frozen prepared cornbread stuffing and the brand I bought is amazing. You just slide it into the oven an hour or so before serving. I sometimes make the pumpkin pie, sometimes buy one. Depends. I don't get to eat either. Keto.

    I also bought a ham this year instead of turkey. The rest will be roasted whole sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, maybe some squash. I might get a pecan pie if guests are coming so they have a choice.
