Is Breakfast Still A Must Have Meal On Thanksgiving Morning?

To eat breakfast or to not eat breakfast? That is the question for Thanksgiving morning. What are your thoughts? Is breakfast still a must-have meal of the day on Thanksgiving or is it all about saving room for the big meal?

Some people for sure have breakfast no matter what day it is, but like to keep it simple, so maybe that looks like your usual morning coffee and a piece of toast. Enough to get you through those first few hours.

For those that don't tend to eat breakfast on Thanksgiving morning, is it about saving room or is there just simply no time? Thanksgiving Dinner can take hours sometimes even days to prep and cook. So making an effort to eat breakfast that day could also be a hassle.

But studies show the best way to prepare for your Thanksgiving Dinner is to eat breakfast! And if your Thanksgiving meal is later in the evening, you should probably eat a regular lunch as well.

Not only will you be able to grab a morning cup of coffee or hot chocolate, but you can also grab a bite for breakfast. Yes, the donut shop has more than just donuts!

A few of the breakfast options on their menu are:

And the menu doesn’t just stop there.

How about a waffle for Thanksgiving? Or at least for breakfast.  Nothings changed for the 24 hour diner, Waffle House will be open on Thanksgiving Day.

Maybe some pancakes to start the big day?

While Cracker Barrel will also be offering a Thanksgiving-themed menu, you can also get the usual breakfast selection  to start your day.

It's the day after Thanksgiving, you are stuffed and have tons of food left. Now we are faced with how to use Thanksgiving leftovers.  There are so many great ways to use all the leftover goodies.

Keep this in mind for just a moment. While you are having fun with family and friends this weekend, there are lots of people working.  Many jobs just don't stop because of the holidays.  Why not fix plates and take them to local police departments, nursing homes, fire stations, or even shelters to help feed the people who are in need?  Make plates and take them to the elderly who are shut in and can't get out.  Just a few ways to use Thanksgiving leftovers.

We always make way too much food and these are the items you find that you have tons of leftovers

Have you also noticed that no one offers the left over desserts?

So for the next few days to a week, you will be eating Thanksgiving leftovers  Along with offering everyone who comes to your home a plate.  They are tired of eating it too.  Now if you are just not a leftover person, then there are tons of pizza places waiting on your call.  Hopefully, these ideas when it comes to using leftovers will make eating turkey for the next few days better.

This is pure gold.  Not only is it easy to leave with, but warming it up the next time.

Turkey Taco's!  This is a new one to me.  I think this would be tasty!

Still Not 100% convinced on this one, but it's worth the try right?

It kind of has a pot pie and Sheppard's pie feel.  The dressing crust just looks so yummy

I will be the first to say this is a NO GO for me.  Now it might be interesting, but it's still a hard no for me

I'm done for this one.  This has to be good and it's easy
