Summary: Thanksgiving is a time when people celebrate the good things in life. And what better way to celebrate than with a feast fit for royalty. Whether it’s the pleasure of each other’s company—or just the prospect of a home-cooked meal—that gathers children, grandchildren, cousins, aunts, and uncles from the four winds, Thanksgiving dinner is almost considered a sacrament in some families. If that happens to describe your family, make sure you show up in time for supper, even if it’s just to keep from getting an earful from your mother. Kick back and watch as bitter feuds and sibling rivalries lose momentum, pacified by a glut of mashed potatoes, gravy, and tryptophan-laced turkey. Then slip on over to the living room, turn on a football game, and drift into oblivion as you digest the best meal you’ve eaten all year.

Want to ensure that your Thanksgiving dinner goes off without a hitch? Don’t feel extra confident about your first time hosting the most important meal of the year? Just looking for some new recipe ideas this season? Watch these holiday cooking videos and get step-by-step instructions on how to make traditional Thanksgiving recipes, including how to cook a turkey, how to make stuffing, how to make homemade mashed potatoes—and even get a free pumpkin pie recipe.

Happy Thanksgiving
