Please Every Palate on Thanksgiving

The phrase “Thanksgiving dinner” typically conjures up images of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and, of course, turkey. For many Americans, though, certain dietary restrictions, allergies and lifestyle choices mean passing on a lot of traditional holiday food favorites.

If you are planning on hosting Thanksgiving this year, or planning on contributing a dish for someone else’s gathering, here are some resources for whipping up delicious eats for all tastes. After all, the holidays are meant to be a time of giving — and sharing — the good stuff with people you love.
