Tasty Thanksgiving Recipes You’ll be Thankful for

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

The food, family, friends, football, the food… nothing beats a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings.

Our family takes turns traveling to either my side or Good Papa’s side for the big day. We’ll bring wine and help out in the kitchen, but, ultimately, my mom and mother-in-law run the show (they both do a fabulous job by the way). 

This year, in addition to spending Thanksgiving day with extended family, we are going to continue a “Friendsgiving” tradition started with close friends four years ago.

Yep, two turkey dinners in one year! I think I’ll need to read over my tips to stay fit during the holidays.

Friends are bringing some sides, but much of the cooking falls upon our shoulders.

So, I’ve enlisted the help of a few blogger friends to share some mouthwatering Thanksgiving recipes you’ll be thankful for.

I avoided sweet potatoes when I was little. It wasn’t until I woke up and realized how amazing they are that I started to prefer them over their white potato cousins. This Sweet & Spicy Sweet Potato Bake from Teaspoon of Spice is a perfect combination of sweet with a little added smoked paprika to give it some spice.

So many Thanksgiving recipes are extremely labor intensive. It’s refreshing to see a recipe that’ll take no time at all and taste just as good. Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad with Avocado and Cranberries from Vegging at the Shore is a nice compliment to all the heavier dishes on the table.
