Shake up Thanksgiving with some non-traditional dishes

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, which means you’re likely preparing for your yearly feast.

Are there certain Thanksgiving staples you’d rather forgo? Well, it turns out you aren’t alone. A poll found that 68% of Americans dislike a common Thanksgiving side but stomach it anyway out of tradition (I’m looking at you, jellied cranberries).

If you’re looking to enjoy the meal you truly want this year, here are some non-traditional ideas:

• Pepperoni rolls

• Butternut squash mac ‘n cheese

• Cauliflower gratin

• Other inspirations

Maybe this is the Thanksgiving we finally speak up and eat the food we want – traditions be damned.
