Thanksgiving. My favorite holiday! Are you ready? Just in case you need some ideas, I’ve put together my 58 Best Thanksgiving Recipes.
I started with a few of my favorite pre-dinner nibbles and then went on to the main event – the turkey and cornbread dressing! Or if you prefer stuffing, I’ve also included a recipe for you.
And if turkey isn’t your “thing,” there are a few recipes for alternatives. You’ll also find a selection of great side dishes, from salads to vegetables.
And no Thanksgiving dinner would be complete without a few fabulous desserts. I even included some of my favorite recipes for using up the leftovers.
I’d love to know what you’re planning to cook for the big day, and if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask away!
