Want to go local this Thanksgiving? It is possible to have a Michigan Thanksgiving, wherein you showcase Michigan food products bought locally. So, if Chicago has its pizza and Philadelphia its cheese steaks, what is considered a Detroit or Michigan food?
According to FoodTimeline.org, Michigan is mainly known for its contributions to the dessert course, including cherry pies, Michigan mint, Mackinac Island fudge and Kellogg's Rice-Krispie treats. While these products may get you started in planning your menu, you'll have to be a little more creative to incorporate the Upper Peninsula's pasties and Vernor's Ginger Ale. Or you could simply opt for any produce, poultry or product actually born, raised or made in the state. Here are a few resources to get you started:
- List of Michigan food products
- List of Michigan Wines and Beers
- Michigan Turkey Recipes and Michigan Holiday Recipes
Have any more ideas?

Hey David Schwimmer Fans!
I happen to catch David in between his sets directing the movie “TRUST” and talked to him briefly and shook his hand, he looks amazing in person than he does on TV and very down to earth! I came back to the office to tell co-workers I felt like I was on cloud nine and I didn’t wash my hand until I absolutely had too.
Wow everyone, it’s Thanksgiving Day! I’m happy with my extra day off, and I am planning to make something fun that will probably involve a bike ride and seeing something new in Blair I haven’t seen yet.

Hello people! .! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and every year I like to get into the mood-extend the holiday, when it were-by reading “Thanksgiving novels.” Unsurprisingly, these stories are mostly about families, about coming together to heal old hurts and getting thanks for the gift of love. . . . –
