First time cooking a Thanksgiving side? This dish is easy to prepare and delicious! Roasted butternut squash tossed with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, honey, parsley and cumin would be a tasty accompaniment to any meal.
8. Honey BBQ Turkey
The main event—Turkey! If you’re looking for a new spin on a Thanksgiving classic, try our grilled turkey breast topped with barbecue seasoning and brushed with honey. Don’t worry—no campus turkeys were harmed in the making of this article!
9. Pumpkin Danish
You didn’t think we would leave out a classic pumpkin flavor did you? This sweet treat will satisfy all your pumpkin cravings this Holiday season.
10. Freshly Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies
