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.

When picking up Crescents™ for the dinner table, make sure you grab an extra can or two, because we have lots of ideas for how that dough can do more than roll.

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.
