About Our Brands Sustainability Careers The Best Traditional Dishes for Thanksgiving I know that it’s been a wild year, but many of us are still trying to hold on to as much of normal as possible, that’s why I am here planning my Thanksgiving dinner just like any other year. I have hosted many, many Thanksgiving dinners, but I still feel like a beginner sometimes. This year I feel like that is especially true considering that it’s been a long time since I have prepared a small Thanksgiving meal. So, while I am trying to make a fuss about the holiday in order to make wonderful memories for the family, I am also trying to bring that traditional Thanksgiving feeling into my home. I’ve decided that I will be trying to make only the best traditional dishes for Thanksgiving.
