I feel like I MUST redeem myself from the weirdness of yesterday’s post…
WIGEOT: What I’m gonna eat on Thanksgiving edition!
Doesn’t that title sound like a pokemon??
i couldn't resist this hilarious image
Whoa. Next Wednesday I’ll be HOME prepping a thanksgiving feast with my mom while celebrating my dad’s birthday!! GAH I can’t wait! Then only like 2 weeks left of the freakin semester woooo
So in honor of my excitement for next week, I thought I’d share what foods I’m gonna be stuffing my face with at home since I probably won’t be able to participate in WIAW next week due to the family festivities.
My mom decided to get the turkey and all the ingredients for our sides from Whole Foods {now you know why I adore her}. I knew I kept her around for something haha
Anywho, let’s take a lookskies. (I got most of these pics from the Whole Foods website)
First up, the main attraction. Whole Foods Diestel Turkey mmmm
Of course you can’t have turkey alone. Must call in some delicious reinforcements!
mom's homemade squash casserole

grandma's homemade sweet potato marshmallow casserole mmm
And of course, you can’t have a proper Thanksgiving feast without some…PUMPKIN PIE!
I can’t wait to cook and bake all of this stuff with my mom for the family! It’s so much fun to spend time together.
My tummy is getting excited just seeing this pics haha
Before I jet, I have one last picture to share…I think Whole Foods hits the nail on the head with it…

Why yes. Yes it is.
Happy WIAW friends!!
US citizens–what food are you most excited about for Thanksgiving? Best thing you’ve eaten this week?


wow your thanksgiving meal is going to be awesome! Literally drooling at those pics
Hey girl! I just started reading your blog and you are an absolute inspiration. I’ve already tried your sweet potatoes with peanut butter… so good!
I can’t wait for all my thanksgiving food! If I had to choose though I think it would have to be between my aunt’s sweet potato casserole or the turkey of course! I could eat a Thanksgiving dinner every week.
I am SO excited for thanksgiving! It’s gonna be my last hoo-rah before my 90 day detox. I’m excited for pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes
omgoodness
cranberry sauce is so essential when turkey is involved
a whole foods feast!!! such an epic win!! I have no idea what part of Thanksgiving I’m looking forward to most….umm I really enjoy taking the Pilsbury Doughboy dinner rolls and twisting them into fun shapes like turkeys and pilgrim hats…my mom’s homemade stuffing is probably my favorite dish! and the green bean/almond/onion casserole! and pumpkin pie, that’s sort of implied haha
MASHED POTATO, CRANBERRY, AND STUFFING ON ROLLS!
Mmm…I can’t wait for Thanksgiving! I’m most excited about my Tofurky Roast! I seriously wait for it all year long. If you’ve never tried it, I definitely recommend that you do. All of my non-vegan friends love it as well.
My grandma goes does to the states for the winter and according to her the American thanksgiving is much more celebrated then ours. It looks like you’ve got lots of tasty plans! My favorite thanksgiving dish is my moms mashed turnip.
Hahahah Wigeot totally does sound like a pokemon!!! Literally laughing out loud here. I’m excited to mashed turnips. Weird thing to be excited for, I know, but I love it!
I’m excited for cranberry sauce & stuffing, because they’re the only 2 foods that I only eat at Thanksgiving, but everything is yummy!
i loved yesterdays post. I am all about weird foods. Peanut nut sauce and chicken work, so why not pulled pork! hehe, happy thanksgiving…early-ish.
I *cannot* believe Thanksgiving is next week. The past few weeks (months?!) have been TOTALLY crazy so time’s been FLYING. I feel like I’m trying to grab little snippets of time to slow down a little bit and it’s just not working! It’s good sometimes (hello, long work days
) but bad others!
I know right?! I’m in a time warp too haha
Ooh I love this post, makes me wish we had thanksgiving over here!
Your mum’s homemade squash casserole looks amazing
I’ve never had pumpkin pie, I really need to remedy this!
Never had pumpkin pie?!? Whoa!! yes that HAS to change pronto haha
Oh my goodness…where to even begin! First of all, that pokemon picture made me crack up out loud. Can WIGEOT be the new Thanksgiving pokemon? Perhaps a turkey-pumpkin hybrid?
And I am getting so excited for Thanksgiving feasting now! Sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie…and stuffing! Oh my!!!
Ahh i’m most excited for blueberry pie!!! hahaha. all your food looks super yummy today
Yes yes!!! Wigeot is totally the new t-giving pokemon
All this yummy food pics make me so sad because I gotto work Thanksgiving
wahhh! I hope you eat tons and tons of food on my behalf! lol
I am most excited for honey glazed ham with stuffing and cranberry sauce. It’s my favorite thing to eat for thanksgiving.
Haha loved this WIGEOT post
oh thanksgiving, it really is my favorite day and some of that might be because the food is amazing! i am now drooling!!
Your Thanksgiving dinner is totally going to rock! Why don’t we celebrate Thanksgiving every 3 months or so? That would be so awesome! I’m such sucker for apple pie on Thanksgiving with a huge dollop of vanilla ice cream! Yum!
The mashed potatoes are the best part of Thanksgiving!!
Normally I don’t like stuffing but pecan cornbread stuffing sounds crazy good, especially since it’s from Whole Foods! I might have to get my mom to get all our stuff from there too!
Only a few more days left til break…woooooo!
ALL of this looks amazing! I love stuffing and homemade cranberry sauce, those are definitely my seasonal faves. I usually make regular cornbread stuffing, but that WF pecan stuff sounds delish! I may have to make a shopping trip…
ok don’t kill me, but Im not a fan of turkey day foods!! I do like the pies (of course) but I dont like turkey, mashed potatoes (if theres butter) or cranberry sauce! Oh and especially not stuffing. Am I weird? I like the rolls though
I’m so jealous of all the food you’re gunna be eating!! It all looks so delicious!
I”m just excited for break!
For thanksgiving, we’re having a fresh turkey (they’re 100x better than frozen!) and some vegetables. I know…so exciting
Squash casserole sounds really interesting and delicious! I think you should snag your momma’s recipe and share the love
Will do!!
This post makes me so jealous that we already had our Thanksgiving here in Canada! Thanksgiving foods are the best! Especially pumpkin pie.
I think I’m going to make myself a pumpkin pie next week just for the heck of it haha.
Do it!! Sounds like a marvelous plan to me haha
I’m more a pecan pie fan.
Loving your menu!! I am coming over for your Turkey Day festivities, that’s okay right?
Sweet potato casserole is a tradition at my house, and I am in charge of desserts, so pumpkin pie is sure as heck on my menu!
I’m excited for turkey + cranberries and pumpkin cheesecake!
Pumpkin cheesecake?! Yum!!
Wow can I please come for dinner on Thanksgiving? I’ll be on dish duty
! Everything looks out of this world delicious, especially the sweet potato & marshmallow casserole!
Oh YUM! Thanksgiving is such a great tradition,I wish it was more popular here in Germany,too… To be honest,I’ve never celebrated it as some families in the US use to do.
Your Thanksgiving dinner looks like it’s gonna be amazing!!
I’m most excited about stuffing!! Man it’s good! Why we only eat it once each year is beyond me?!!
I know, I have no clue why we eat it once a year either!
