Well folks, American Thanksgiving is upon us.  Or, as I like to call it: the last Thursday in November.  Being Canadian, American Thanksgiving is just another day albeit with the promise of crazy sales and all good TV shows being preempted in favour of football.

I know, I totally sound like the Grinch Who Stole Thanksgiving.  It might be because I’ve never experienced a true American Thanksgiving (insert violins). Despite having lived in the U.S. on and off for about 7 years, I guess I normally flee to Canada when I have the time off.  But thanks to all the American media I have a clear vision of what Thanksgiving looks like and more importantly… what it tastes like.

With that said, for everyone still planning out their Thanksgiving menus, here are a few ideas to consider.  Some our traditional, some aren’t (who says you HAVE to serve turkey?).  All are promised to be delicious.
