What’s Your Favorite Thanksgiving Food?
As we move into the heart of the holiday season, I always find myself reflecting on how these moments have a way of pulling us back to what really matters. Thanksgiving invites us to slow down just long enough to notice the people at our tables, the stories being shared, and the quiet ways our lives are shaped by connection. Food plays a small but meaningful role in that, not because of the recipes themselves but because of the memories tied to them.
In real estate, we talk so often about homes and space and lifestyle that it becomes easy to forget we’re really talking about the moments people create inside those walls. Thanksgiving is one of those moments. It’s a reminder that a home isn’t just a structure; it’s a gathering place for tradition, celebration, and comfort. It’s where families laugh, where friends drop by, and where someone always sneaks an extra handful of stuffing long after the dishes have been cleared.
Every year, Felicia and I find ourselves returning to the foods that bring back stories. Maybe it’s the recipe we’ve made for years or something we’ve picked up along the way, but the table is always filled with reminders of the people who helped shape our lives. Those dishes become a way of honoring them, even if they’re no longer sitting beside us.
And I know I’m not the only one who has that one Thanksgiving favorite that just feels like home. It might be your grandmother’s pumpkin pie, the mac and cheese that only one person in the family gets exactly right, or the rolls that disappear before they ever make it to the table. Food has a quiet way of anchoring us, especially during seasons that ask us to reflect on gratitude.
This time of year also gives me a front-row seat to what many of our clients experience as they prepare to host family in a new home or enjoy one last holiday before making a move. I love seeing those traditions take shape in different spaces, because it reminds me why our work matters. We’re helping people create backdrops for the kind of moments that stay with them for decades.
So today I want to hear from you. What’s that one dish that always finds a place on your Thanksgiving table? What recipe carries a memory or makes the holiday feel complete? Your answers always reveal something meaningful about who you are, and I love getting a small glimpse into those traditions.
Drop your favorite Thanksgiving food in the comments. I’m excited to read through them and maybe even pick up a new recipe to try this year.
