What I love about Thanksgiving is that your menu is practically planned for you. You know you’ve gotta serve turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, and cranberry sauce. But for those of you who want to add more to the table, we recommend going “orange.”

Orange-colored foods are not only healthy, but they’ll balance out the colors on your Thanksgiving table.

There’s just nothing like pumpkin pie, roasted carrots, or sweet potato soup to get you in the mood for the season.

For those of you who don’t do Thanksgiving, give these recipes a try anyway! They won’t disappoint!
