Chef Dana’s true story: I was on LID over thanksgiving and it was TRAGIC. My mom made me my own paper plate full of bland turkey and sweet potatoes (sorry to put you on blast mom 😅) I think we can all agree the best part of thanksgiving is the FOOD! I hope these LID approved thanksgiving recipes bring a bit more flavor and excitement to your life during LID.
