Thanksgiving is all about making memories and sharing a meal with friends and family, but let’s be clear – it’s also competitive. No matter if you find yourself hosting dinner or simply bringing a side dish to the table, there’s a lot riding on what you contribute to the Thanksgiving meal. Some of us are young, and are still proving we’ve got the chops match Auntie’s pecan pie. One miss-step, and you might find yourself demoted to bringing the dinner rolls. Or, maybe, you’re the reigning Casserole Champion. It can be lonely at the top, but it’s worth it when people are still commenting on your delicious green bean casserole even when Easter comes around. No matter if you’re the first draft pick for Thanksgiving dinner or just trying to get in the game, starting with fresh local ingredients will get you well on your way to the Holiday Hall of Fame.
Pecan pie can be a great starter recipe! There’s nothing like a buttery fresh pecan and Texas is the best place to get them. As the state tree of Texas, pecans are abundant and delicious. Have a taste of home with Texas Pecans at the Dallas Farmers Market and get your local pecans from North Texas Pecans.
