3 Unique Dishes to Bring to the Table This Thanksgiving

Show your family how well you’re adulting by bringing a dish to dinner this Thanksgiving.

Here are a few fresh takes on the turkey day classics we all love.


Baked Turkey Egg Rolls with Cranberry Dipping Sauce

Fill these puppies with hummus or avocado and turkey, bake them, and dip ‘em in cranberry sauce. If you’re feeling really crazy, you could take your fillings to the next level with mashed potatoes, stuffing, or mac and cheese. Or all of the above. We’re talking everything-but-the-kitchen-sink egg rolls. Sign me up.


Cranberry Orange Quinoa Salad

Maybe you can pronounce quinoa, maybe you can’t. Regardless, you’ll definitely be able to handle this recipe. It’s fresh, simple, and requires minimal cooking. Plus it’s got kale, and millennials love that stuff.


Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls

Cake pops are arguably the best midday pick-me-up. Here’s our take on them, minus the sticks if you’re feeling lazy and plus pumpkin-spice, obviously.

Born and raised in the D.C. Metro Area, Kyleigh followed her gut 750 miles away from home to Auburn, Alabama. Now a senior in public relations, she can confidently say it’s the best decision she has ever made. Passionate about health and wellness and interested in marketing, working at The Rec is the perfect fit for her.

Outside of The Rec, Kyleigh is working toward big goals, like visiting all 50 states before she’s 25 (12 to go, if you’re curious) and getting her registered yoga teacher certification. She has an insatiable appetite for adventure and loves to travel, learning about new cultures and herself in the process. When she’s not daydreaming about future trips, she can be found in yoga class, visiting the cows off Lem Morrison, or making sure her friends are fed. Kyleigh doesn’t exactly know what she wants to do when she graduates, but she knows it won’t be boring.
