As cold fall days start to become the norm, we all seek comfort in knowing it’s “that time of year” again. The holiday season is right around the corner, and if Thanksgiving Break means anything for us collegiettes, it’s a week of no exams or classes, seeing your friends from home- maybe for the first time in months- and most importantly, lots of home cooked food. If you’re in the mood to bake up some goods, help your family with the turkey, or put a new spin on old favorites, here are some ways to do so:
Sweet Potato Casserole: A personal favorite, this dish is just the right amount of sweet and delicious without being too overboard and fits perfectly into any Thanksgiving meal. Also, the healthy sweet potatoes make you not feel so bad about all the marshmallow and brown sugar-y goodness!
