Thanksgiving is next week. Considered by college students to be one of the best holiday’s, we get a week long break from schoolwork (and the campus food), get to hang out with friends and family and finally enjoy some home cooked food. Here are 3 easy recipes you can make this thanksgiving.

Cinnamon-Spiced Hasselback Sweet Potatoes
Thanks to Refinery29, here’s an alternative way of making sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
For Potatoes
4 large, uniformly shaped sweet potatoes, washed
5 tbsp canola oil, divided
¼ tsp salt
For Streusel Topping
8 cinnamon graham crackers (3/4 cups crushed)
¼ cup raisins
½ cup maple syrup, divided
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking dish with tinfoil.
2. Cut about 8 slits into each potato, stopping just before you cut all the way through, so that the slices stay connected and the potato stays intact. Each slice should be about ¼ of an inch thick. Tip: Place potatoes in a baking dish or rimmed plate and use that as a guide. Slice straight down and stop cutting when your knife hits the edge.
3. Rub potatoes liberally with 3 tablespoons of oil, making sure to coat all sides and inside the slits. Sprinkle with salt and bake 50-60 minutes — until softened and cooked through, but not mushy. Time may vary, depending on size of potatoes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the streusel: Place graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and crush until you have coarse crumbs. Add in 2 tablespoons oil, raisins, and ¼ cup maple syrup, and crush again until it resembles wet sand.
5. Remove potatoes from the oven and gently pull apart to expose slits. Stuff the slits with graham-cracker mixture. Drizzle each potato with remaining ¼ cup maple syrup, making sure to get into each slit.
6. Lower oven to 350° and place potatoes back in the oven to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. Serve warm.
