14 Mouthwatering Pictures of Thanksgiving Food

When a holiday has so much delicious food, it can be easy to forget whether you’re celebrating gratitude or gluttony. We think you shouldn’t have to choose! Here are 14 pictures of delectable Thanksgiving food that you can really appreciate.

This creamy sweet potato dish is covered in a snowfall of toasted marshmallows (all the more reason to eat up so you can hibernate when winter comes).


A green bean casserole is the closest thing to a healthy dish you will eat all of Thanksgiving, so enjoy! Mom always said to eat your veggies.


These golden cornbread muffins have a light honey flavor that will satisfy your sweet tooth.


Or if classic buttermilk is more your thing, then these flaky, buttery biscuits are sure to hit the spot.


And how about a rich cranberry sauce to drizzle all over your plate? We’re a huge fan of the sweet and salty combo.


There is no such thing as one serving of stuffing, especially one that looks this savory! The crisp celery is a nice complement to the soft, bready texture.


You can practically smell this juicy turkey that’s been roasting in the oven all day.


We should all give thanks to the versatility of potatoes. They taste good in every form, whether they are chopped up and baked to a golden brown color…


…or mashed and garnished with parsley and butter (mmm… butter, the food of the gods).


And every Thanksgiving dish tastes better when it’s swimming in a pool of thick gravy.


Gravy on ALL the things!


And the classic pumpkin pie is a perfect way to finish your Thanksgiving meal…


…or if you’re feeling adventurous: how about a pumpkin pie on steroids? This dessert is topped with a huge pile of whipped cream AND boasts a decadent cheesecake layer — now that’s what we call a finale!


Have a happy (and hungry) Thanksgiving, collegiettes!
