This year was a weird Thanksgiving since we had a vegetarian guest with us, but my family made build-your-own pizzas (with plenty of vegetable options for our guest) plus vegetarian snacks like falafel and Indian mixed snacks. Then we had apple pie and brownies for dessert (pretty American). We don’t always or even usually have the traditional ham/turkey so this wasn’t totally out of the ordinary for us. I remember one time we made sushi for Thanksgiving (sushi rice is hard to cook if you’re on your own but a lot easier with help) and I think we may have had pizza for Thanksgiving before this.

The traditional ham/turkey Thanksgiving is definitely not bad, I’d really enjoy it for next year, but I also like the fact that we can sometimes just do whatever we want instead. I like a little variety, especially with friends coming over.
