To give you an extra hand, we've listed the rest below and included the recipe so you can show off in the kitchen!
Let us know how it goes! 🍽️
🍽️ Main dishes and appetizers
1. Arroz con gandules, the essential dish above all others, and the favorite of many of our followers on social media

3. Ensalada de papa: another classic of Puerto Rican holiday cooking (and on any other occasion, frankly).
4. Arroz con tocineta y cebolla: the perfect complement to the holiday dinner if you don't want arroz con gandules this year.
5. Jamón con piña: at weddings and at Thanksgiving alike, jamón con piña is another traditional dish in Puerto Rican cooking.
6. Pan hecho en casa: We included this option after confirming that nothing beats bread fresh out of the oven, especially when that oven is in your kitchen. 😎
🍮 The bonus! Desserts to round out your dinner
7. Flan: flan was also a top pick on our list, in the desserts category, in several varieties such as milk flan and cheese flan.
8. Arroz con dulce: who doesn't think of Christmas when they taste arroz con dulce? There's no need to wait until December, since you can start eating it as early as Thanksgiving!
9. Cheesecake: any occasion is perfect for enjoying a cheesecake. Don't let this Thanksgiving be the exception!
10. Tembleque: and last but not least, a tembleque on your table is also a must. Enjoy!
P.S. Don't forget to share this list with your friends so they can also shine this Thanksgiving. 🦃
