Are you tired of the usual turkey and stuffing that always seems to appear at your Thanksgiving dinner? Well good, you should be. Stop bringing the usual green beans or corn to thanksgiving and forcing your family to eat it and tell you it’s delicious, even though it’s clearly not. Thanksgiving is the one day of the year where it is perfectly acceptable to eat so much food you have to change into your loose pants afterwards — that is unless you wear your loose pants to eat, which would make complete sense. So, with that said, give your family a reason to love Thanksgiving, and you again (kind of harsh, we know), and bring them one of these eight fatty foods.
So go right ahead and make one of these or make all of them, just make sure to stuff your face this holiday. And remember to be ready to call for an ambulance if your heart hurts afterwards. Hey, better safe than sorry.
