Thanksgiving Traditions You Only See in Wisconsin 🍂🧀 Thanksgiving in Wisconsin isn’t just about turkey—here are some classic Wisconsin traditions that make our holiday one-of-a-kind: German and Scandinavian Side Dishes 🇩🇪🇳🇴 - Many families bring their heritage to the table. Scandinavian dishes like lefse and lutefisk and German favorites like cabbage, sausage, and potato salad are must-haves, adding a hearty touch to Thanksgiving dinner. Jello Salad 🍇🥕 - No Wisconsin Thanksgiving is complete without this sweet side dish, where fruit and carrots are suspended in jello—a true Midwestern treat! Other versions of this “salad” may include whipped cream or mayonnaise. Pickled Eggs 🥚 - While waiting for the turkey, pickled eggs offer a salty snack to keep everyone happy until dinner is served. Cranberry Relish - While eaten outside Wisconsin as well, Wisconsin grows more cranberries than any other state. As we celebrate these seasonal traditions, I can’t help but reflect on some of my favorite holiday moments—time with family, savoring that first slice of pie (are you team apple or pumpkin? 🍏🥧), and creating memories that last. Just like our financial goals, the things that truly matter take a little planning and a lot of heart. Wishing you a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving wherever you are! P.S. What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? #ThanksgivingTraditions #WisconsinLife #FamilyAndFinance

🦃 In the United States, many of us are preparing for the big Thanksgiving Day feast. It is one of my favorite holidays. I make the turkey, stuffing and apple pie to take to my nephew's house each year. When people hear that I make all of that they say, "Why don't you just host it?" Well, it has become family tradition that I make those items. 👨👩👦👦 I've become known for the turkey because of the gravy it makes due to the white wine, shallots and dried dates (prunes). The family calls it "crack gravy" because once you have it you can't have another. 🧑🍳 I found the recipe years ago in a Food Network magazine featuring Rachel Ray. Another tradition is my 🍎Paper Bag Apple Pie🥧. Yes, it is actually cooked in a paper bag! Last year, I did try using brown craft paper (not advised). It caused a bit of a fire 🔥 in the oven, but we managed to save the pie. I make the pie at home and transport it. We put it in the oven when we sit down for dinner and it cooks while we eat and then are able to serve warm apple pie🥧with ice cream for dessert. I'm curious: 🦃 What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions or food? 🥧 What's your favorite pie or dessert for Thanksgiving? 🗒 Any recipes you'd like to share? 🤔(share in comments) 📸: My Thanksgiving turkey from last year #Thanksgiving #TurkeyDay #FamilyTraditions #Foodie #HomeCooking #ThanksgivingRecipes #GratefulHeart #FamilyTime #CookingWithLove #ThanksgivingPrep

Got an unusual Thanksgiving recipe planned for this year (or one you’ve cooked in the past)? Send it in! This year, Thrive is reprising a tradition that Nora Ephron started at HuffPost in 2014: "Tell Us What You're Cooking This Year For Thanksgiving Dinner That You Didn't Cook Last Year." Of course, part of what makes Thanksgiving so meaningful is the ritual of it, including the traditional menu – and that’s also why targeted departures from that menu can be special. When Nora started this campaign in 2014, she noted that at her house, Thanksgiving dinner was always the same – except for one change each year. So how are you planning to depart from the usual Thanksgiving dinner? What is, as Nora put it, “the thing you've never cooked before on Thanksgiving day, the thing that proves conclusively that you're up for change, that you're not your mother, that you're open to new ideas, that you're flexible and full of surprises and with-it food-wise, even though the truth about Thanksgiving is the exact opposite –– it's about ritual and tradition and the same-old same-old.” Message me your recipe with the subject RECIPE, along with photos if you’ve got them (either your own or from the site you got the recipe from). I’ll feature several in my next newsletter.
