The Dubs have provided us with Warrior-certified grub that needs to be on your plate this holiday season.

Freshmen:

“Out of all the delicious Thanksgiving food, turkey always takes the cake for me. It’s something you have every year, and I can never get enough of it.” – Jackson Pechter

“Baked mac-and-cheese is what I look forward to each Thanksgiving. However, it must be baked or homemade – Kraft doesn’t cut it.” – Augustin Cox

“The sugar cookies from Publix hit around this time of year. People don’t understand the hype, but I would rather eat those cookies than any that my family bakes.” – Dylan Mulqueen

Sophomores:

“After dinner, pumpkin pie is my all-time favorite dessert. Not only that, I think it might even be my favorite food. Having it around Thanksgiving time makes the season exponentially more enjoyable.” – John Underwood

“Green bean casserole is hands down the best Thanksgiving dinner side dish. Many people don’t like it, but it’s hands down better than plain green beans.” -Jake Nelson

“I don’t understand people who prefer pumpkin pie over apple pie, AKA the best pie ever. Kate, my sister, definitely makes the best apple pie around. I think everyone should get a taste of it.” – Ben Henley

Juniors:

“Along with turkey, having delicious stuffing is an essential part of Thanksgiving dinner. It’s simple but delicious and makes a huge difference in the overall meal.” – Jake Curcio

“If done correctly, mac-and-cheese is the best part of my Thanksgiving dinner. Not any boxed brand, but the homemade type that clogs your arteries, you know?” – Joey Nievera

“Personally, a Thanksgiving staple is rich and creamy mashed potatoes. They are a delicious palette cleanser, and I love them after a big feast.” – India Motley

Seniors:

“Bread and butter. That’s it. It’s always good, but you can never go wrong with some warm bread on chilly Thanksgiving nights.” – Caroline Clippinger

“Whenever I see my Aunt Lindsay over Thanksgiving, we make mashed potatoes. They remind me of her, and it’s been our little tradition for years.” – Paige Clayton

“This might be basic, but I love a bowl of mac-and-cheese like most people. I don’t care if it’s made from scratch or a box mix; I need it at the Thanksgiving table.” – Trey Fox
