With Thanksgiving coming up—we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the Netherlands though—here’s a sure way to brighten up your dinner table. I’m pretty sure you guys got the turkey thing down pat and could teach me a lesson or two about cooking turkey.

Heck, I think you’ll be cooking circles around me, laughing maniacally while pointing the finger of ridicule. Not that I’m paranoid or anything.

But still. It’s probably best I steer clear from turkey and instead give you a handful of my favorite go-to snack ideas and recipe ideas for the holidays!
