Five Favorite Thanksgiving Foods

I can't believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away! I have been getting excited for a break from school and about eating some of my favorite foods. Here are my top five favorite Thanksgiving foods in order of importance.
1. Mashed Potatoes. I love, love, love mashed potatoes! They are definitely one of my favorite foods. Alissa and I make really good ones with cream cheese and half and half. They have to be horrible for you, but they taste amazing. I'm going to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving this year, so I might volunteer to make the mashed potatoes.

2. Corn Souffle. This is so easy to make...just mix together creamed corn, canned corn, jiffy cornbread mix, and a few other simple ingredients and pop it in the oven. I definitely go back for thirds of this one.

3. Pumpkin Roll. I don't really care about pumpkin pie, so my dessert of choice is pumpkin roll. So good! Alissa has a funny story about making one for her first Thanksgiving with Joe's family. She forgot to add sugar! It is tricky to make and roll up without cracking the bread, but I really don't care about how it looks as long as it tastes good.

4. Cranberry Nut Bread. This is probably Alissa's number one favorite Thanksgiving food. She is obsessed with it. My grandparents owned a bakery in Pittsburgh and the Cranberry Nut Bread from there is really good. I get to have Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh this year at my aunt's house, so I'll get some fresh bread. Alissa will be beyond jealous. If she's lucky, I may mail her some.

5. Lemon Pepper Green Beans with Almonds. Last, but not least, my list rounds out with a vegetable. If you didn't notice, all the others were carbs and starches, so I got to at least try to eat something green. These green beans are really good and my family makes them on a regular basis, but they are definitely a Thanksgiving staple.
