"Not everyone can whip up a multi-course Thanksgiving dinner like they’re Ina Garten, and that’s totally OK. But if you’re still hoping to contribute to a Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving table, you might be on the hunt for something good enough to sufficiently impress your family and friends while also being easy enough that you can totally manage it. Never fear, those recipes are absolutely out there — you just have to know where to look. And even if you have a bit of a ~ahem~ reputation for being less than great in the kitchen, these delish recipes will make people change their tune. You never know, you might end up with a request to make your dish a new annual tradition.
This Baggy Dad style from Levi’s is a tried-and-true favorite our team swears by, made famous by an effortlessly cool fit and PJ-like comfort.
