FRIENDSGIVING MAIN COURSE IDEAS:

1. Old-Fashioned Bread Stuffing

Recreate this dish:

One thing you should most definitely mark off of the friendsgiving checklist is the stuffing; it's a classic dish that everyone loves (and for good reason, it's delicious)!

Many recipes call for fresh sage and thyme but if you are in a rush feel free to just use the dried versions you probably have in your spice drawer.

2. Bob Evans' Mashed Potatoes

The best mashed potatoes are a By Sophia Lee secret recipe (that's really not so secret); I usually do not make my own mashed potatoes! 

Believe it or not, the hands-down best mashed potatoes I have ever had are the original Bob Evans. I try to stock up on them before the Thanksgiving hype because they always go out of stock. 

Here's my trick: I heat up the mashed potatoes in the microwave and then transfer them into one of my pretty bowls ? and I cannot tell you how many compliments I have gotten on them.

3. Turkey Gravy

Recreate this dish:

Gravy makes everything better, and this easy recipe will make you love gravy even more!

4. Herb Butter Roast Turkey

The beast of the Friendsgiving meals is the turkey and roasting it can seem like a daunting task.

Thankfully, we now have Youtube and Google. There are so many helpful videos and recipe guides out there will the best-of-the-best tips and tricks so that there's no possible way you can fail!

5. Roasted Root Vegetables

Who knows if there will even be enough room left on your plate for vegetables, but if there is, you cannot go wrong with these roasted root veggies.

6. Easy Green Bean Casserole

Green bean casserole is by far my favorite dish to make (and eat); this casserole is truly a staple, and it's not Thanksgiving unless we have it (same goes for Friendsgiving)!

7. Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole... is it a main dish or a dessert? One of the most controversial questions to date. ?

Either way, this dish is delicious and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth!

8. Corn Casserole

Corn casseroles are delicious and the perfect dish for a friend to bring.

The casserole is super easy to make and smells delicious!

FRIENDSGIVING SIDE DISHES:

9. Baked Mac & Cheese

Mac and cheese was never served at my Thanksgiving dinners growing up. I had no idea what I was missing out on!

Baked mac and cheese will be seen as a delicacy at your party and everyone will want some.

10. Fluffy Biscuits

Give me a biscuit, and I will be a happy girl for the rest of the night.

If you are running out of time, you can also just buy a few Pillsbury Dough Rolls from the grocery store to bake!

11. Bacon Jam Brussels Sprouts

If you've never tried brussel sprouts before you, don't know what you're missing. They are delicious and taste like a dessert when you mix them in with a sweet jam.

12. Cranberry Sauce

Canned cranberry sauce does not even compare to the homemade version.

Taking the few extra minutes to make your own will pay off in the end!

HEALTHY FRIENDSGIVING RECIPES:

13. Apple, Bacon, Pecan Salad

Recreate this dish:

With all the (delicious) unhealthy eating going on during the holiday season, adding in a salad or two (here and there) can be good for the soul and your body!?

Sticking with the festive theme: a cranberry, pecan salad is perfect for Friendsgiving.

14. Cauliflower Stuffing

Recreate this dish:

I can't lie and say cauliflower stuffing tastes the same as regular stuffing, but it is still delicious!

15. Brussel Sprout, Kale and Apple Salad

Recreate this dish:

Shaved brussels sprouts are out-of-this-world delicious. You will be going back for seconds, guaranteed!

16. Healthy Green Bean Casserole

Honestly, healthy green bean casserole looks a lot prettier than regular green bean casserole!

As I said before, green bean casserole is one of my favorites, and you truly cannot go wrong with this dish!

17. Vegan Gravy

Recreate this dish:

Vegans need gravy too! No one wants to miss out on the deliciousness that is gravy at a Friendsgiving party.

FRIENDSGIVING DESSERT IDEAS:

18. No Bake Pumpkin Pie

Recreate this dish:

You can't go wrong with pumpkin pie, and this recipe looks stunning.

I love taking a classic dish and making it your own!

19. Pecan Pie Brownies

Recreate this dish:

My mouth is watering simply looking at this photo. Caramelized pecans and brownies might be one of the best combinations out there.

20. Dutch Apple Pie

A lot of apple pies have the woven crust top, which can be very time consuming and difficult to create if you've never done one before. I find making a crumbled top the better option (until I have time to master the woven pie dough crust)! ? 

21. Easy Coffee Cake

Coffee cake, the underdog of the Thanksgiving desserts; the cake will be a hit at your Friendsgiving party (especially for the few people who don't like pie).

I always make sure to have vanilla bean ice cream on hand to go with the dessert!

22. Sweet Potato Pie

Recreate this dish:

Sweet potato pie is always welcomed at any Friendsgiving I host! It's an easy dessert to make and a crowd pleaser!
