Cancers should opt for a dish that is warm and nurturing — just like them! Mashed potatoes are not only delicious, they’re also filling, rich and comforting. “Their hearty nature and the fact that they’re a staple from many people’s childhoods makes them a wonderful match for the caring, sentimental sign of Cancer, who will enjoy bringing a dish that adds a touch of nostalgia to the meal while still being tasty in its own right,” explains Bly.

If you’re a Scorpio: Take cornbread

According to Bly, Scorpios are known for their persistence and boldness. “They are also a fixed sign, making them rather stable — though their natural element of water still inclines them toward moodiness,” she explains. As such, cornbread is the perfect dish for them to bring. Balancing some surprisingly complex flavors and possessing a very distinct texture, cornbread requires a decisive hand that Scorpios are well-equipped to provide, and they can share the fruits of their labor at the Thanksgiving table.

To do: Combine 1 bag (12 oz.) fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook about 10-15 mins until berries burst and sauce thickens. Cool to room temp, then chill until serving.

The generous and caring Pisces is very likely to volunteer as host — which means that they usually provide the star of the show: the turkey. “But even when they don’t host, the Pisces-born are pretty good at whipping up this famous dish. Intuitive and adaptable, they’re well-equipped to accept the time-intensive task of making this main course, using their instincts to enhance their cooking and quickly changing course if things go sideways,” says Bly.
