Sending Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes from Our Kitchen to You
By: Julia Debes, Kansas Wheat - 11/24/2020
The familiar smells of cooking Thanksgiving dinner waft through the air each November, wrapping us all in the shared memories of time spent together. Whether it's a warm, soft roll on the side of the plate or cutting into a pie with the perfect crust, wheat's place at our family dinner tables makes it no surprise November is also National Bread Month.
We want to share some of our favorite holiday recipes with you this week as you prep for the coming holiday, recognizing Thanksgiving may look or feel different for many families this year. Whether a tried-and-true roll recipe brings those familiar smells and tastes to the table or you try something new this year like a bread sculpture, making and breaking bread is a long-standing Thanksgiving tradition. Most importantly, we express our gratitude during this month to all those who support Kansas wheat farmers by including wheat products in their family meals -- this month and all year round.
