Well the time has arrived, it is Thanksgiving week. Everyone has been waiting for this special week to arrive. While some people are preparing to travel, some people have already purchased their Thanksgiving Dinner items, but there are some men and women who are still undecided on what they should eat for Thanksgiving dinner. So I decided to create a two part series featuring Thanksgiving Day Meal Ideas. I have spoken to men and women from around the United States about what they are having for dinner. The purpose of this series is to help make Thanksgiving Dinner a little more interesting this year.
Kathy Kingsley, a cookbook author, food writer, and recipe developer based in CT, and former Editorial Director of Fine Cooking magazine, and a producer for PBS TV, including Moveable Feast offered Thanksgiving Dinner.
Step aside dinner rolls—flaky, tender, fat homemade biscuits are my answer to Thanksgiving sides. Quicker and easier to make than rolls, and infinitely more versatile. How about flavored with sweet potato, bacon and chives, or pimento cheese? And I’m talking about elevating your leftover turkey sandwiches, too!

I'm originally from Maryland, but I've been living in the UK for 15 years. I've introduced my British husband and inlaws to American Thanksgiving and cook every year. Most years, I make the meal just for myself and my husband, but that's no reason to skimp on turkey day! This year, I'll be making my standard roast turkey dinner, which is mainly based on my Italian-American family's recipes. so lots of sage, onions and garlic. I'll be making inside and outside stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas, cauliflower cheese (a British staple that has made its way into our day), turkey gravy, sweet potatoes and also a couple of pies. I also serve canned cranberry sauce because that's what I grew up with and I'll always love it.

As a clinical nutritionist and registered dietitian, I try to keep my holiday menu simple, and nutritionally well balanced yet appetizing. This year I will arrange a charcuterie board with cheese and fruits and serve bite size quiche to avoid overeating before the main meal. Grilled turkey, cauliflower stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy and holiday roasted vegetables will adorn my dinner table. I have requested my guests to bring their favorite board game or karaoke machine instead of more food to have fun and celebrate not just bounties of nature but also be grateful for
having family and friends.
Brian Donovan
I'm Brian and I live in Texas. I always cook Thanksgiving dinner. We have
a more traditional meal with turkey, stuffing, mac and cheese, because you
can't live in the south and not have mac and cheese. It's always a great time to connect with friends and family. The best part about the day is everyone being in and around the
kitchen cooking and socializing.
