So, how did this annual feast come to be? Well, it all started with a friendly get-together between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans back in 1621. They shared a meal, exchanged gifts, and basically just had a blast together. And, just like that, a tradition was born.
Fast forward to today, and the traditional Thanksgiving meal is still all about family, friends, and food (not necessarily in that order, though). You've got your turkey, your mashed potatoes, your stuffing (or dressing, depending on where you're from), and of course, your pumpkin pie. It's a feast fit for a king (or a very hungry football player).
But, let's not forget about the sides - green beans, cranberry sauce, and gravy are all essentials at any self-respecting Thanksgiving table. And, if you're feeling fancy, you might even whip up some homemade rolls or biscuits to round out the meal. After all, as the saying goes, "you can't have too much of a good thing" (especially when it comes to carbs).
