Last-Minute Thanksgiving Recipe Ideas – 2017

Our favorite last-minute recipe ideas to help you survive Thanksgiving dinner without being boring, tasteless, or over-the-top traditional.

GobbleGobbleGobble Day is almost here y’all, and if you’re anything like me, perhaps you’re thrilled to not be stuck with cooking a crazy over-the-top super elaborate meal for your friends and family. Nope, no sir, no how, no way. Thankfully, I’m simply in charge of showing up with deviled eggs, gravy, and perhaps a little something sweet to finish things off. Not too bad. I think I can manage that. Although I have to say, if it was up to me, I might just consider ditching the turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie altogether and trying something new and untraditional this year. I could easily be satisfied with a big ol’ bowl of turkey chili, a straight from the oven warm buttery biscuit, and a sweet chocolate-studded pumpkin cookie. What about you? Could you give up the turkey? Could you survive without the after feast food coma?
