Thanksgiving Recipes You Don’t Want to Miss

I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by! Thanksgiving is right around the corner and then Christmas will be falling quickly on it’s heels. Are you ready to spend some time with family and friends? Have you been thinking of trying a new recipe this year but not know what to look for?

Well, you have come to the right place! I have found an incredible amount of scrumptious recipes just in time for your  American Thanksgiving Dinner. I just had to add that in for our Canadian friends who already celebrated their Thanksgiving! All these recipes are really putting me into the baking mood. I just might have to try a couple or dozen recipes for my family.

Thanksgiving Appetizers:

Who doesn’t like to munch on something healthy and delicious while waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven. Try one of these recipes to add with a veggie tray for some quick and simple appetizers.

Thanksgiving Side Dishes:

I couldn’t believe the variety of side dishes out there. My family tends to stay traditional with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cole slaw, green bean casserole, and cranberry jello salad. We add in some sort of rolls and a moist turkey with dressing and gravy and we are all set to fill our plates. Looking through these recipes made me stop and put a pumpkin in the oven to get some baking of my own done!
