Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love celebrating with tons of food and tons of people!

Here are some of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes:

• The perfect Roast Turkey I have found is by Alton Brown. Trust me, don't cook it all day like Grandma used to.

• Go beyond green beans with Smitten Kitchen's Dijon Braised Brussels Sprouts. This is one of my favorite sides.

• This Potato Mushroom Gratin is amazingly decadent and simple to make ahead. I add some Gruyère cheese to the layers because, why not?

• I also love all the classics and have to have a can of jellied cranberry sauce for nostalgia, but my favorite is always the desserts.

• I'm not a huge pie fan, but two of my holiday favorites I've written about here and here.

I hope you enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the big and small things to be thankful for in your life.
