We usually have two thanksgivings a large everyone in the family one and usually a smaller immediate family one on the weekend. Nothing crazy. But my dad makes the turkey with little sweet peppers in and around it. It gives it such a unique flavor. Paired with a bit of sweet potato it doesnt even need gravy.

I wasnt really able to eat thanksgiving day (was sick). But sometime in the next week we will have the smaller gathering.

If we’re talking desserts i love crustless pumpkin pie. Never really cared much for the crust. The filling is the star of the show anyhow 😂

I just learned how to make homemade whipped cream this year. So im excited to make that again to go with a pie next week. I highly recommend anyone make it themselves. All you need is a mixer, heavy cream, and a smidge of powdered sugar or some other sweetener that can help stabilize. It only takes a few minutes and stores for days, and is cheaper than store bought spray cans!

I love making homemade whipped cream! Try adding a few drops (literally only like 3-5 drops) of vanilla extract, it gives it a really good flavor! And if you get serious about it, getting a whipped cream can with an attachment for loading N2O cartridges is worth it.

Mashed potatoes. I could eat them all day!

I need to try the vanilla. I may need to invest in that for the holidays next year m!

Baked mac n cheese has my entire heart 😍 this year my brother's mom made some scalloped potatoes and oh my GOD they were soooo fucking good I fr cannot stop thinking abt them
