All right, I’m just putting this out there: Chicken thighs are one thousand percent better than chicken breasts. I love their richer, deeper flavor — and the fact that they even have flavor, because regardless of how they’re prepared or what they’ve been seasoned with, chicken breasts always taste like meat paper to me.

Just like this past April, the CDC is once again warning consumers to stay away from romaine lettuce due to an E.coli outbreak. “Consumers who have any type of romaine lettuce in their home should not eat it and should throw it away, even if some of it was eaten and no one has gotten sick,” the CDC explains in their announcement on Tuesday.

“How long does it take to microwave a 25lb turkey?” Carlota Andrés messaged to the family WhatsApp. Her famous father, chef, and humanitarian José Andrés, responded, aghast, in a mixture of English and Spanish that encompasses a horror perhaps not able to be contained in just one language. In fact, the younger Andrés was simply enacting the same prank that other young adults around the country have been all week.

I first saw the viral “microwaving a turkey” meme on Instagram, where my friend had posted a screenshot of her hilarious conversation with her mom. (If you aren’t aware of the trend, people are texting their moms asking how long it would take to cook a 25-pound turkey in the microwave in hopes of getting a funny response, then posting a photo of the conversation on social media.)

To be honest, I was less concerned about the fact that she was planning on microwaving her turkey and more upset that I thought I hadn’t been invited to her (fake) Friendsgiving. But after seeing a few more very similar posts, I quickly realized I had fallen prey to a meme.

I assumed it was all a joke. You can’t actually cook a turkey in the microwave, right? But although people were playing a joke on their moms, the actual act of microwaving a turkey can be done successfully. According to the USDA, it’s one of the many ways you can cook your Thanksgiving bird. Here’s how long it would actually take.

Who among us hasn’t at one time or another claimed that we have the absolute weirdest, most embarrassing family in America? Especially around the holidays, when all the uncles and cousins and aunts from out of town gather in one claustrophobic space, all those eccentricities we complain about but secretly love are on full display. In the age of social media, it’s easy to expose all their unconventional — if you want to put it generously — habits.

Probably aware that there are plenty of people out there eager to prove just how goofy their families are, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon decided to mine Twitter for the best stories about weird Thanksgiving habits, and the results did not disappoint.

If you’re wondering if your holiday table really needs another creamy casserole, let me tell you emphatically that the answer is yes.

My kids are pretty generous eaters, but on Thanksgiving, with so many different dishes from different cooks, even the familiar feels strange. This comforting broccoli and cheese casserole is made specifically for them, for that reason, but will delight everyone else at the table too. Tender broccoli gets smothered in a creamy, tangy cheese sauce, then topped with butter crackers and more cheese for a side dish as welcome on your holiday table as it will be on a Tuesday night in February. Here’s the five-ingredient broccoli casserole your whole family will love.

We all know that certain heavy-hitter dishes — like classic turkey, hearty stuffing, or ultra-buttery mashed potatoes — tend to steal the spotlight at Thanksgiving. But as you get ready to finalize your holiday menu, I urge you not to forget the bread. Despite an already-packed table, there’s always room for a bread basket.

They’re a great counterpoint to everything else on the table, and bread also holds the (very important!) duty of helping mop up all that extra gravy. So from pillowy soft dinner classics, to fancy 12-layer rolls flecked with fresh herbs, to a gluten-free version everyone will enjoy, here are several bread recipes that deserve a place on your Thanksgiving table.

Growing up in the Midwest gave me a few habits that set me apart from my coastal peers, including a firm conviction that “Ope!” is a real word, a tendency to begin and/or end every sentence with “sorry,” and an intense and unshakable love of casseroles. I can’t imagine how anyone gets through winter, or large family get-togethers, without a big dish of Kentucky hot brown or an enormous tuna-noodle casserole with crushed potato chips on top.
