Are you cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year but aren't sure what to make? Here is my exact menu Thanksgiving this year along with each recipe.
We never have a huge crowd at our house for Thanksgiving. A large turkey would be way too much for our family to eat, so I make a turkey breast instead. It's smaller, and I can cook it in a slow cooker instead of in the oven.
This slow cooker turkey breast recipe by Plain Chicken is super simple and delicious!
Can you tell I like "set it and forget it" recipes? If I can use a slow cooker, I usually choose that route. It makes everything so simple. I'm a big fan of ham at Thanksgiving and Christmas, even more so than traditional turkey!
This sweet brown sugar and pineapple slow cooker ham recipe by My Organized Chaos makes prepping and baking a ham easy!
Baked mac and cheese is my favorite Thanksgiving side, hands down. I make this delicious dish year-round because I love it so much!
This extra cheesy macaroni and cheese recipe by Mom on Time Out is great. The recipe is truly a made-from-scratch recipe and it shows in the taste. Yum!
I made sweet potato casserole for the first time last Thanksgiving side. When I was mixing the ingredients and following the ingredients, I saw the recipe called for vanilla extract. I grabbed lemon extract by accident and didn't notice until I added it in. Well, we kept going and it turned out great!
I love this sweet potato casserole recipe by Bubba Pie because she set it up to use canned sweet potatoes. Not having to peel the potatoes, cook them, and mash them saves so much time!

This creamed corn recipe by Semi Sweet Sisters is so easy. It's the perfect easty addition to your Thanksgiving menu! You just dump all of the ingredients in the slower cooker and stir every few hours.
You can't go wrong with a chocolate dessert. Oreo balls are an easy recipe and are a total crowd-pleaser.
When I moved to Eastern North Carolina for college, I attended my first pig pickin'. It's a ENC term for barbecue. They're always a ton of fun. Pig pickin's are so popular that they earned their own dedicated dessert.
A pig pickin' cake is fruity and delicious. It's refreshing after enjoying a BBQ sandwich, or a Thanksgiving meal. Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond has a great recipe copied below.
