Whether you dream of baking dazzling desserts, cooking the perfect bird or you just need to figure out what to bring to all those Friendsgiving feasts, with these foolproof essentials and handy grocery lists, you'll be able to pull it all together without pulling out your hair—promise!

    Pick a Side to Bring

    Turkey gets a lot of love, but it takes teamwork to make the dream work. And it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving dinner without sweet potatoes, stuffing and the rest of the crew.

    My new favorite side to bring to Friendsgiving dinners is brie mashed potatoes. They're like regular potatoes, but 1000% better because there’s surprise pockets of creamy cheese in each bite.

    Thanksgiving Dessert (Not Just Pie!)

    This is what they really came for, so give the people what they want! From the classics you know and love to delicious newcomers, you can’t go wrong with these desserts.

    Rather than bring plain ol’ pumpkin pie to my mom’s house on Thanksgiving, I like to bring a cream cheese-based pumpkin pie dip instead. It’s much faster to make and everyone says it tastes way better, too.
