I created an Ina Garten Thanksgiving menu and cooked a feast for 12 using only her recipes for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie, and more.

It is debatable whether the holidays are a good time to try a new recipe, but Amber Pankonin, an Executive Chef, shared some easy sides that are hard to mess up. The first recipe is a perfect balance between healthy and sweet.

Ina Garten's "grown up" mac and cheese features three different cheeses, plus bacon and breadcrumbs. It's the perfect Thanksgiving comfort dish.
