With Thanksgiving Day fast approaching, I know you may already have a menu planned out, but some of you may be trying to figure out what yours is lacking. I wanted to take a moment to share with you what our traditional family menu looks like so maybe you can get some ideas or inspiration from it to take to your own family table.
Second to Christmas, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because of how festive a time it is for everyone. I love how much cooking it entails, the decorating, the weather changes, and the (fake) color changes we get to experience. I love fall! The recipes we bring to the table just seem to embrace the flavors of fall. I have the recipes sorted into categories for you so they will be easy to find. Each recipe title is linked to the recipe origin to make it easy, as well as having a picture so you can see what you would be making. If you want to make it, just click on the link and go make your list!
