True confession: I avoid certain recipes because of the messes they create, which in my world means anything fried or anything that demands the use of a cast iron skillet. So no matter how amazing a recipe looks, the extra work of dealing with hot oil or a seasoned skillet is often enough to make me pass. And I doubt I’m alone here.

Of course, we all know spills, splatters, and funky smells are bound to occur when you cook at home, no matter how meticulous and neat you try to be; it’s part of the experience. But I’ll venture to say we also all have our “mess” limits when it comes to the kitchen — whether they land low (dirty dishes) or high (cleaning out a deep fryer) on the effort scale.

In our opinion, a holiday table isn’t complete without a big basket of fluffy dinner rolls. How else are you going to sop up the last bits of gravy? These soft and airy sweet potato rolls are perfect for the job. They’re also very nearly foolproof, making them one less thing to worry about when planning the meal.

When it comes to dessert this holiday season, what do you plan on putting on the table? I am not talking about the actual dessert – let’s be honest, we all know you’re going to make at least one pumpkin pie in the coming weeks – I’m talking about the coffee.

Coffee-lovers, what’s the best way to pair coffee with pumpkin pie? Let’s get geeky.

A good gravy is the final touch that really finishes off Thanksgiving dinner. It is quick to cook up after the turkey comes out of the oven (although, of course, you can make it ahead of time). But it’s easy to take any number of wrong turns, leaving you with a thin, flavorless, lumpy, or gluey gravy. Here’s how to make sure you end up with the gravy of your dreams.

Thanksgiving is a time for plates piled high with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and much more. It’s a day of feasting at its finest. But in the mix of all those comforting side dishes, I also like to include the option for something a little lighter — like a fresh and vibrant salad.

These 20 colorful salads will show you it’s worth making room for a bright spot on the Thanksgiving table in the form of a refreshing salad — leafy greens, optional.

For this version of the classic cheese ball recipe, we mixed equal parts crumbly blue cheese and cream cheese, folded in a handful of dried figs and a drizzle of honey, and then coated the whole thing in toasted sliced almonds. The result? A perfectly tangy, spreadable cheese ball with a hint of natural sweetness.

Hosting Thanksgiving dinner is no easy feat. It takes a lot of planning and effort to cook and serve that feast. It’s basically the cook’s equivalent to running a marathon: you may have trained for it, but it’s still going to take you five hours to finish. And you probably won’t be able to walk the next day.

That’s why it’s nice to give your host a little something to show your appreciation. You could bring a small gift for the meal or table — a bottle of wine, a bouquet of flowers — or you could do something else, something that will really treat your hosts to the break they deserve. We have one major suggestion that always wins, hands-down.
