In the United States, Thanksgiving is a holiday when we celebrate the bounty of the harvest season with family and friends. Fall foods such as squash, pumpkin, greens, sweet potatoes, corn, cranberries, and apples are featured in many Thanksgiving meals, along with the traditional turkey and stuffing.
A
favorite part of Thanksgiving for children and adults is enjoying a traditional
recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation. In fact, some
of these recipes are considered “holiday foods” that only make their appearance
at special family occasions. This Thanksgiving, celebrate your heritage with
your family by preparing your favorite recipe and sharing it with your loved
ones.
Although
many serve turkey and stuffing as part of their traditional Thanksgiving meal,
many others celebrate by featuring seafood like shrimp, crab, and lobster, or
other proteins like deer and beef. No matter what protein you decide to
include, make generous use of locally grown veggies in your side dishes with easy
to prepare recipes like Roasted
Vegetables and Greens
and Beans.
Thanksgiving
is a time to celebrate family traditions and create new ones. Invite your
friends and family to share their favorite holiday recipes, and include
children—have them share their favorites too! There is no better way to
celebrate our heritage and traditions than with delicious fresh food.
Happy
Thanksgiving!
