We’ve just recently sat down for our Thanksgiving meals with family, friends, and loved ones. There are so many good food options to choose from, and this holiday is known for the great home-cooked options, and the sheer amount of food we put on our plates throughout the day. I’m a big fan of lists, Thanksgiving, and food, so here’s a list of my top 5 Thanksgiving foods.
- Pumpkin Pie
The top choice for Thanksgiving, and something that many wait all day for, thinking about having a nice slice of Pumpkin Pie. Delicious! My favorite season is fall, so I live for pumpkin picking, and going to the market to get a nice freshly baked pie, especially pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie is the number one thing I look forward to on Thanksgiving Day, and the best part is you can enjoy the leftovers the next day as well!
- Stuffing
For a lot of people, stuffing can be hit or miss. But I think stuffing is the greatest part of the entire dinner spread. I look forward to filling up my plate with it each year, the taste is amazing, and it’s a classic Thanksgiving food. I’m excited about it every year.
- Cranberry Sauce
Some would say it shouldn’t be on the list, but when it comes to Thanksgiving, cranberry sauce goes with everything, so it comes in at #3. I’m a big fan of cranberry sauce and I use it frequently with my Thanksgiving spread.
- Corn Bread
While it’s not the most traditional at every Thanksgiving meal, cornbread is a must for me. A delicious side to the stuffing, the sweetness of the corn is just the right amount to get you prepared for all the sweetness when Dessert is being served.
- Ham
I’m sure at this point of the list you’re wondering why Turkey, the standard Thanksgiving day food has yet to be mentioned. While I am a fan of Turkey, just not in the top 5. Ham is in the top 5 and rounds out the list. A nice piece of ham from the smoker, or even from the oven is just the perfect meat to have on your plate to compliment all the rest of the amazing flavors, and even better when you have some leftovers to make a ham sandwich. Perfection!
