The Best Thanksgiving Recipes
Some new takes on traditional Thanksgiving fare including a few new vegan recipes, too!
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 World’s Best Pumpkin Pie
Our family is serious about pie. This is our favorite.
3 Ingredient Pumpkin Fluff
A yummy pumpkin treat from Cait at Cait’s Cozy Corner.
Sweet Potato Pop Tarts
Nicole from Our Robin’s Nest has a new take on a classic.
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
DAIRY FREE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
a vegan take on a Thanksgiving classic from Jenna of The Urben Life
Sides
Cranberry Fluff Salad with Pineapple
Jen Cowan of And Hattie Makes Three swears by this delicious treat
Sweet Potato Casserole
A vegan version for Team Marshmallow from Nicolle of Our Tiny Nest.
Here’s hoping your holiday is a safe and healthy one!
Thanksgiving Books and our Book Baskets
What’s in our Book Basket right now? Autumn and Thanksgiving books! I have a list of Autumn and Thanksgiving Books for Children today, too. Enjoy!
Thanksgiving is nearly here. Soon many of us will be baking and cooking and roasting — or traveling far and near to join family and friends. The air is crisp. The leaves are nearly gone. And we had a big snow on Sunday, though it is largely gone now. And the squirrels are enjoying the smorgasbord of pumpkins and gourds on our front porch.
I have a Thanksgiving treat for you today! This is our Book Basket…
Actually, we have two — one upstairs and one down. As the seasons change, I collect our seasonal books — Fall and Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Summer, etc. They go into the book baskets so they are easy to find for story time. This way we are sure to read them all at least once during the season. The Thanksgiving and Fall books are in the upstairs Book Basket right now, and yesterday I put the Christmas books downstairs. They will go upstairs after Thanksgiving.
But what is in our Book Basket right now? So glad you asked! I put together a list of our favorite Fall and Thanksgiving Books for your family to enjoy!
After Thanksgiving, I’ll give you a peek into our Christmas books, but I work really, really hard not to move from Halloween to Christmas. I love Autumn, and I’m luxuriating in these last few days.
I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Follow me on Instagram to see what we will be doing for Thanksgiving — it is going to be soooooo fun! I can’t wait!
Ciao!
Angela
