FAQ
What is the most common Thanksgiving dessert?
Pumpkin Pie is the most popular Thanksgiving dessert. Sweet Potato Pie and Pecan Pie are also served frequently on Thanksgiving.
What should I bring to Thanksgiving dinner as a guest?
Check with the host to see what is already being made or brought. Pumpkin cookies are always a good bet if pie is already on the menu. If nothing is needed, bring flowers or a bottle of wine.
Though the food is certainly important, remember to make great memories. Take lots of photos and talk to each other. Tell stories. Hug each other.
It’s often after you’ve lost some of the people that make up your family gatherings that you realize how much you’ll miss them being there. Happy Thanksgiving.
