Real Talk: I freaking LOVE Thanksgiving. Food, family, football…and more food. What more could you ask for?? These are all recipes I’ve personally made for my family’s Thanksgiving in the past few years and absolutely LOVED – and I know you will too. Some of these, my family REFUSES to let me change from year to year because they’ve become irreplaceable staples. For the win!
