If there’s one thing we all love about Thanksgiving it’s complete permission to eat whatever we want. From the turkey to stuffing to everything in between, the average Thanksgiving dinner seems to last all day long and is totally worth it. of course, beyond the actual dinner is the dessert, which I know is my favorite part.
