Some of you have been asking for me to round-up my favourite Thanksgiving/holiday recipes in one spot and I thought that was a great idea given that Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
Hopefully this will be of help for you as you plan your holiday meals this season.
I will also include a link to this page at the top of my recipes page so you can find it whenever you need it!
1) Itty Bitty Pumpkin Garlic Knots
These rock my world.
[I now have a huge, huge craving for these.]
2) The most delicious gravy I have ever tasted (and it’s veeeeeegan!)
All of our guests enjoyed this gravy!
3) This Ain’t Grandmas Sweet Potato Casserole
Sorry grandma, but this was the crowd favourite at my Thanksgiving dinner party in October! Wholesome yet incredibly delicious.
One of my all time favourite soup recipes. It is very filling too!
5) Maple Spiced Quinoa with Cranberries, Apricots, and Almonds
Very festive, light, with a great crunch and array of flavours.
6) High Protein Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Healthy, high in protein, yet delicious. No one will know what ingredient is hiding in there!
7) Cinnamon Sweet Potato Chickpea Salad
Mmmmmm. That is all. Mmmmm.
8.) Easy Maple Cranberry Sauce
This was my first time making cranberry sauce and I was surprised at how easy it was! It took me about 15 minutes start to finish and just a few ingredients. Recipe found on PDF in Luxury Dinner Party post above.
My favourite baked beans.
Appetizer
Great with beer and the good ‘ol hockey game.
Desserts!
10) Wedded Bliss Soft Ginger Cookies
One of my favourite cookie recipes.

13) Pumpkin Gingerbread with Spiced Buttercream
This was also a crowd pleaser and it’s one of Eric’s all time fav desserts.
14) Pumpkin Butter Oat Squares with Candied Pecans

Chocolate and peppermint is a dream wintery combo in my opinion!

What are your favourite Thanksgiving or holiday recipes?
Also, does anyone have any holiday tea recommendations for me? I am looking to buy some holiday teas!
Oh my Angela, these all look incredible!
It’s a stinking hot 37 degrees Celsius where I am so come on over and I’ll be your taste tester!
:)
hi Angela!! wowww thank you for this! hahaha they’re all the ones that I’ve been wanting to make!! :PPPP I don’t know if you have coffeebean&tealeaf in Canada, but I really recommend the winter spice (?) blend! or something like that. It’s really good and it reeeeallly does have a spicy tinge to it!
i agree, the cb+tl winter dream tea is so good!!
Oh.Em.Gee! Seriously though. OMG. *wipes drool off computer screen* Everything looks SOOOO good!
i CAN’T take it, angela! greedy overload!!
whoa.
whoa.
whoa.
ahhh.
oh my goooosh! i’m cooking for three and can’t decide! I’m guessing I’m going to be loggin in a couple more miles this week haha.
This post reminds me- PLEASE upload the s’mores cake in a jar recipe! I made the apple streusel and it was good….but the s’mores REALLY caught my eye! mmmm!
Not sure on a brand name here but my favorite tea from my favorite cafe is caramelized pear tea! Great for the holiday season ;-)
I am so overwhelmed with these options! How do I choose? If I make them all, I’ll have to start cooking NOW!
Oooh, me, I’ll be your taste-tester! We’ll be hitting the high 20C range next week (probably even in the 30s!) so you can enjoy warm weather and I’ll enjoy yummy vegan baking ;-)
Having said that, I would like a white Christmas at some stage – it’s funny that we associate Christmas with summer and hot weather and the beach and you guys are all about being warm and cozy in the freezing weather! So, my holiday recipes are various salads and fruity things for cooling down (mango and stonefruit season has now arrived!) rather than the hearty and warming fare you northerners get to enjoy for Christmas :)
You are seriously amazing!!!!! All of it looks so delicious!!!!
You blow my mind – I’ve read all these posts in the past few months and it amazes me how creative and delicious they ALL look!
Great shots for those awesome foods! You’ve given them more life :D They really look so delicious. Can I be your taste tester? We don’t have cold Christmas here in our place. It’ll be a great pleasure to taste those. Yummm!!!
Sell WoW Account
Sure!
I have one word for you Angela: AMAZING.
I’m kicking myself for living in Northern Europe where pumpkin is practically non-existant (as are Earth Balance & Almond milk, except the homemade kind). And its cold too, so my chances of becoming your taste tester are rather slim. But I can always try to adapt your recipes, and for those that I can’t – I can still enjoy your beautiful pictures!!!
Omg the time invested in this post. No wait. In ALL of the RECIPES! The photography…all of it.
As a blogger, cook, photographer….we all wear all hats. But you, you my dear, well all of them VERY WELL!
Pumpkin Pie Brownie Cupcakes – have seen a few girls make them and i thought i wanted to make those. But then i just saw the entire roundup of desserts and honestly am in drool overload. It’s overused in the sphere to say things look good. But seriously, Angela, your food just looks….SO GOOD. I mean amazing :)
Oh my gosh, you are amazing. I am in charge of dessert this year and I would love to make one of these. I’m just nervous that they won’t come out as good as your did!
I would suggest the pumpkin pecan pie brownie…it was the fav!
Now that it’s 6:24am and I’m starving for breakfast, lunch, dinner and gravy…
That’s the one thing I love most about fall, the cinnamon and pumpkin spices. They make every dish better, salty or sweet. The garlic pumpkin knots are identical to garlic “bowties” that bakery by our house has sold since I was a little girl. I actually worked at said bakery myself and had the honour of partaking in the magic of those bad boys. I’ve been eating apples uncooked with cinnamon sprinkled on and it hasn’t quite being doing it for me, so now I know how to fix it! Great roundup!
there is something magical about bread making!
I want EVERY recipe at my Thanksgiving table!
These all look fantastic! I’m slowly working my way through all your recipes and they’re all delicious!
As far as favourite holiday dishes go, for Thanksgiving it’s pumpkin pie and stuffing, for 9hristmas it’s definitely my Gramma’s shortbread cookies and oatmeal cookies with date jam.
This is our first Christmas without Gramma, but I’m hoping I can do her recipes justice.
My favourite holiday tea you can’t get anymore. It was a limited time Christmas blend. But second favourite would have to be a nice chai latte from teaopia.
Those make me hungry also. They all look so fantastic.
Can I please come to your Thanksgiving? :)
I was already planning on making those pumpkin oat bars, but now I’m going to make the cranberries and the gravy too! Thanks!
