The Thanksgiving holiday is all about continuing the tradition: the tradition of family and family values, the tradition of giving thanks and the tradition of sharing a meal in piece. That’s why each year we have our Thanksgiving turkey with other traditional dishes like pumpkin pie or sweet mashed potatoes. But, we seem to neglect the dishes with the most iconic symbol of harvest and Thanksgiving – the golden sweet corn. That is why we present you with these top 10 Thanksgiving corn recipes for side dishes and desserts that will enrich your dinner table and bring you closer to that Thanksgiving spirit.
