Thanksgiving Day is the perfect time to remind one another of the many reasons there are to be grateful. This year, the Yalo Tribe shares our favorite recipes, traditions, and what we are most grateful for.

Our family tradition is every year at my granny’s. We all bring one side , and my dad is in charge of the turkey and ham! Every year I bring Mac – n – cheese. But don’t tell anyone. My recipe is Stouffers Mac – N – Cheese family size! And I add crackers and pepper to the top to make it look homemade!!
We have a tradition of having two Thanksgiving dinners every year half Filipino food half southern food! Best of both worlds! We have both sides of the family gather and help cook and sometimes bring new recipes to the table.
Making the entire Thanksgiving dinner for the family.. turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, deviled eggs, regular stuffing and jalapeno stuffing!

We always hosted Thanksgiving at my house growing up as it was my mom’s favorite holiday. I moved to SoCal in ’04 and had some fun ‘Friendsgiving’ gatherings pre-married days, haha. Since then me/wife/kids have done a few different things but no steadfast traditions.
We always start the day by watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Dinner is early – around 1 or 2pm so the food coma can have an appropriate amount of time. Eating, drinking, board games, naps, and laughs followed by cozy jammies and It’s A Wonderful Life!

Here are a few creative, funny, and meaningful Thanksgiving traditions to start this year.
Thankful for a new working family!
I am thankful my father lives in Atlanta now!
I am thankful for my healthy and happy kids who bring me the greatest joy … more than I ever knew possible! And, for my handsome husband who’s made my dreams come true! And, for my parents, sister and her fam, and my twin brother who make up the BFE (Best Family Ever)!
I’m thankful for the Falcons beating the Saints “again” this season.
