Shake Up Your Holiday Offerings!

Throughout the holiday season, it seems like we tend to serve the same foods year after year; turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pie, rinse and repeat. If you, as a host, are getting a little burned out on the Thanksgiving offerings, we invite you to mix it up! Use different ingredients to substitute, use a different recipe than your great-something grandmother’s cranberry sauce that no one eats, try playing with scale and making the dish bite sized or mega sized! If you’re crafty enough to invent a new recipe, do it!  If you like to err on the side of caution, we encourage you to check out our favorite non-traditional Thanksgiving foods:
