Skip The Turkey And Load Up On This Side Dish
Bella Breakdown I’m just gonna say it… Thanksgiving turkey isn’t that good. In fact, it’s kinda bad. There’s no way to get it moist, it lacks flavor and makes you completely exhausted before dessert makes it to the table. If you’re like me and loathe that white slab of meat on your Thanksgiving plate, opt for this delicious side instead.

Thanksgiving Dinner In A Handful Of Chips?
Bella Breakdown Ah, Thanksgiving. The one day a year where even health bloggers and dieticians turn a blind eye at processed fats and gorge on buttery mashed potatoes, sugar-loaded pies, and salt bathed turkeys.

While the meal usually centers around the food, the hallmark of any Thanksgiving table, the drinks can be equally as important and festive. Holiday cocktails, champagne, and sparkling cider are all fun and celebratory accompaniments to a full table of food.

All Of The Ways To Cook Your Turkey
Bella Breakdown I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the pinnacle of any Thanksgiving meal is the turkey. Sure you might be privy to the mashed potatoes, or the stuffing, but we all know the center piece, the crescendo if you will, is that hulking, crispy, cooked bird you’ve been waiting the whole year for. I’m sure you have heard a lot of people bragging that they make the best Thanksgiving turkey. To be totally honest with you, I have a lot of fear for anyone who gets stuck with the responsibility of having to cook their turkey....
