The Thanksgiving Recipe You Should Try In 2017, Based On Your Sign
Cranberry sauce. Stuffing. Mashed potaters with gravy. Green bean casserole. Thanksgiving is about being grateful for all of the beautiful blessings in your life, and stuff; but... food. We'd be lying if we tried to deny that a big part of Thanksgiving is cooking up a storm in the kitchen, trying not to burn the place down, and gorging yourself on cornbread and turkey. If you're planning to channel your inner chef this holiday but don't know where to start, we've got the Thanksgiving recipe you should try based on your zodiac sign.
Best yet, these are recipes just about anyone can manage — unlike the cheesecake I tried to prepare one year that remarkably remained in liquid form despite its time in the oven. You needn't have gone to culinary school to whip up a delicious entree, side dish, or dessert. Anyone can follow a recipe! (You can also buy it frozen and pretend you made it from scratch. We won't tell a soul.)
This holiday season, impress your family and friends with your prowess in the kitchen. Here are some of our favorite Thanksgiving recipes from the internet's greatest cooking and baking blogs. Roll up your sleeves and get to work!
1Aquarius
Aquarius are the most imaginative, so why not try this cranberry sauce with a twist from Averie Cooks? Everything's better with wine, and you can fix this up in just 30 minutes. Win. Bonus points if you serve it in cute jars, like this blogger did.
2Pisces
Pisces likes to keep things simple; and this stovetop cinnamon apple butter from Baked by Rachel is the perfect fit. Everybody loves apples, and everybody loves butter. Can't go wrong here.
3Aries
Nobody is creative quite like Aries. These caramels from Bake Love Give are just what you need, because they're made with kahlua! Creativity at its best.
4Taurus
Taurus loves to indulge, so they are craving something heavy duty. Nothing is more heavy duty than these turkey cupcakes from Brown Eyed Baker — a cupcake topped with frosting topped with an Oreo topped with chocolate and then more chocolate and then another Oreo and then candy corn. Sweet mother.
5Gemini
Gemini needs an impressive recipe, or they'll get bored and go someplace else. These cranberry brie bites from Dessert Now Dinner Later are simple to make and sure to keep people happy and bellies full. Plus, they're small. That means you get to eat more of it.
6Cancer
Cancers are nostalgic at heart; take it back to your youth with these homemade pumpkin spice Pop Tarts, from BruCrew Life.
7Leo
It's not unlike Leo to put on a show; and nothing is an attention grabber like this cranberry cinnamon roll French toast bake from Deliciously Yum. There's a whole lot going on here — can you handle it?
8Virgo
Virgo is practical. They don't want to throw out leftover turkey — they want to use it. Brown Eyed Baker knows what to do: turn it into a casserole!
9Libra
Libra needs balance and harmony. The orange ginger pear and quince crisp from My Baking Addiction is the perfect combination of citrusy and sweet and spicy.
10Scorpio
Brave, daring, and adventurous, Scorpio wants to try something most people won't even consider. Kick things up a notch with this monstrous pumpkin chocolate layer cake with cream cheese frosting and butterscotch caramel from Something Swanky.
11Sagittarius
Sagittarius likes to cut to the chase. Keep it straightforward with a traditional Thanksgiving staple: pecan pie. Bakerella knows what's up. Don't these beauties bring a tear to your eye?
12Capricorn
Capricorn is ambitious — regular cornbread won't do. Better try this creamy cheesy cornbread recipe from Cookies & Cups. Can't you totally picture yourself eating an entire tray of these? I can.
