Jenn Seasly's Foodlore Podcast

The Nostalgia of Thanksgiving


Listen Later

In this heartfelt solo episode, Dr. Jenn dives straight into the smells, sounds, and deeply nostalgic flavors that shaped her Thanksgiving traditions. From her signature bacon-woven turkey glazed in herb mayo, to the green bean casserole glow-up, to childhood favorites like Ritz-topped squash and Cool Whip fruit salad — Jenn walks us through a holiday table overflowing with memories.

Along the way, she shares the stories behind each dish: the canned cranberry "plop" everyone remembers, the peas only served once a year, her mother's labor-of-love cornbread dressing, and the desserts that define her family's feast (pecan pie is non-negotiable).

This episode is a warm reminder that Thanksgiving isn't about perfection — it's about the comfort, the nostalgia, and the love that goes into every dish.
