While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.

Prepare to get stuffed - November 24 is Thanksgiving!

While this national food holiday certainly can't come as a surprise, it is definitely one worth celebrating by spending the day with those you love most and feasting on wonderful food filled with soul and tradition.

You might have heard some variation on the origins of Thanksgiving in elementary school, but the holiday takes from both European and Native traditions. In Europe, folks liked to hold festivals to celebrate a good harvest and enjoy the fruits of their labor, which was quite similar to what Native Americans would do as well.

Once Europeans landed in America, they brought the harvest tradition with them. Put the two together and you've got one heck of a feast!

If you've got any concerns about Thanksgiving, don't sweat it! Eatocracy has you covered with our tips, recipes and answers to your most burning T-day questions. We also have offerings from around the web with these Thanksgiving recipes, sweet potato and stuffing galleries!

Whether you're making the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and round of casseroles or you're deviating from your mother's 25-year-old menu, celebrate all of the people, happenstances and things you're thankful for with the best of them. From all of us at Eatocracy, have a happy, happy Thanksgiving!

    Best yet, buy a few cheap turkeys and donate them to your local food bank. Surprise and delight a family in need.
