No Empty Plates

Thanksgiving is centered around food: familiar dishes, family traditions, and time together at the table. But preparing a holiday meal adds to the grocery bill.

Food allergies and other dietary needs can make planning harder, too. Suitable options may be harder to find or cost more. Plant-based choices should have a place at the table as well.
