A Twist on Thanksgiving Norms
When most people think of Thanksgiving, there's plenty of traditional food that comes to mind, such as turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, etc. Maybe you want to switch things up this year, so instead of the usual dishes, here are some unconventional Thanksgiving recipes!

Grapes definitely aren't the first thing that I think of when it comes to pie. Keep in mind that this recipe take a lot of time.

I make this all of the time! Not to mention you can never go wrong with bacon.

Everyone thought it was the weirdest thing. I LOVED it personally and my Thanksgiving attendees thought it was interesting to say the least, they loved the food but found it too unconventional.. oh well!
Oh I love breaking the social norm.
I love trying and cooking new foods, but there are so many occasions throughout the year to do that, that I don't really mess around with the holiday traditions. It's fun to have some things we can count on to look forward to.
