Do you need the best easy Friendsgiving dishes to bring to a gathering? All of the dishes listed below are easy to make but very tasty. So you can feel confident that what you bring will be successful!

I grew up in a military family (which officially makes me a BRAT). Since we moved every few years, there were times when we were hundreds or even thousands of miles away from extended family. So my parents found other military families to celebrate with during the holidays. Our Thanksgiving dinners were more of Friendsgiving meals, with a variety of nontraditional foods.
I’ve organized everything below, starting with main dishes and ending with desserts. In between, you’ll find other categories of foods that are all simple but loaded with flavor. If you’re the one hosting Friendsgiving, my list should help. Or if you’re a guest, make and bring any of the dishes below to share.
Friendsgiving Main Dishes
When you’re asked to bring a main dish, decide whether you want traditional or something completely different. If you have the time, means, and ability to make a couple of different dishes, do one of each. I’ve done that in the past, and people always appreciate it.
Salads
I like having some salad options at Friendsgiving feasts. All of the ones included are delicious, impressive, and best of all super easy to make.
Side Dishes for Friendsgiving
Side dishes are as important as the main dish in my opinion. Whether you start with fresh or canned is up to you. I like to take the easy route with side dishes whenever possible. Here are some of our favorites.
Friendsgiving Desserts
Finish off the festive feast with some yummy sweet treats. All of the desserts I’ve included are some of my favorites, and they’re all very simple. But you don’t have to tell your friends just how easy they are. Let them be impressed with your culinary skills.
More Recipes for Your Friends to Enjoy
I like to bring extra dishes that don’t necessarily fit into the categories mentioned above. This includes snacks, breads, sauces, and gravies.
