When you hear the word Thanksgiving do you think of turkeys, cranberries, corn, pumpkins, cornucopias or beans? If so, it makes sense because those items are all symbols of the holiday.

They are found in dessert recipes like these cookie turkeys and this Indian corn cake recipe. However, you can find them in savory recipes like this turkey veggie tray too.

Pumpkins are often featured in holiday decorations like these succulent planters, this wine cork craft and these scrapbook paper pumpkin.

Don’t forget to show your love to your family and friends this Thanksgiving by sending them some holiday quotes full gratitude.
