Thanksgiving is coming, and I have been making notes and thinking about our menu this week (on my meal planning pages in The Nice List Christmas Workbook, of course!). A few friends got together and decided to do a recipe exchange, so I have a bunch of great recipes to share with you! Whether you are looking for some new Thanksgiving traditions or need to infuse some excitement into your favorite standbys, here are some wonderful and simple Thanksgiving recipes to make your holiday table particularly special.

Let’s start with dessert — because why not! My family is SERIOUS about pumpkin pie, and I’m probably risking my inheritance, but I’m sharing our incredibly delicious pumpkin pie recipe with you, my friends! Enjoy!

Desserts

The Turkey

I will tell you, I always do my turkey following Alton Brown’s brined turkey recipe. I have used it dozens of times, and it never fails. So for all things turkey, trust Alton.

Vegetables

Sides

Here’s hoping your holiday is a safe and healthy one!
