With Thanksgiving just two days away, you may have all the things like I do for your dinner, but may not have decided how you want to cook or prepare them. Use the two PDF cookbooks at the end of this article to help you make a different Thanksgiving dinner for your family and friends.
While all the comfort foods are served for Thanksgiving dinner, sometimes these foods, especially if you have had several Thanksgiving dinners, you may feel you want something different added to your favorite Thanksgiving foods. I know in the past when I have went to two or three Thanksgiving dinners before the family dinner, I really didn’t want the same old Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to mom and dad, they knew us kids had been to a few dinners before theirs, they would change up some of the side dishes and sometimes the meat dish.
They would fix our other favorite salads, like pea salad, sauerkraut salad, ambrosia or fruit salad, potato salad or macaroni salad. If the potato salad was fixed mashed potatoes weren’t made. Rather than the pies, dad would make Mississippi Mud Cake and Neiman Marcus Bars. Those are just as yummy as the pies. Rather than fixing corn or green beans, they would fix broccoli and cauliflower, carrots, and another type of vegetable. We would still have cornbread dressing and homemade rolls for Thanksgiving dinner. You may think that is too much in regards to carbs, but not everyone likes dressing that is why both have been made.
Now that I have shared some of the changes that have been made to our favorite comfort foods, you can see why I have mentioned the two PDF Thanksgiving cookbooks in this article. A slight change in some of your favorite comfort foods can give you ideas for any other meals you share with your family other than Thanksgiving Day.
I do have to say, I haven’t tried some of the recipes in these two printable cookbooks. Some of them I may have to try at a later day. You could use them like I am thinking about doing for another time if you already have your dishes planned out. If you don’t, you may want to try some of them. You could also think about using these dishes if you have a lot of left over turkey for something different after Thanksgiving Day.

I have given the page amount for each of the cookbooks so you can decided on which route you want to go with them. One other thing I should mention is they will print in color with a cover sheet. If you print them out, you could put some holes in the left side and place them in a binder for future use.
