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.

Congrats on the foodbuzz readers choice!!!!(I voted for you)
thanks!!
Oh my gosh, Angela, best post ever! I started opening the individual recipes in new tabs to review, but then I realized I was doing it for every one and the list kept going…so I’m going to review it later because if I keep reading, I’ll be late for a Thanksgiving meal I’m about to have with new friends in Australia.
As always, photos made me drool….so ready for that meal now! <3
Stop, stop! It is too much! Ok don’t stop, seriously this is amazing. I have clicked on so many links and cannot wait to make them! HUGE grin on my face – excitement. Thanks lovely.

Hello Angela,
I would really like to make the vegan gravy and the cranberry sauce for a vegan Thanksgiving potluck, they look so delicious, but when I click on the link it leads me to another post.
I don’t see the recipes anywhere, could you post them or let me know if I am doing something wrong?
Thank you!!
they are in an attached PDF in the original post. hope this helps!

Hi Angela! I love your blog!!
I made “This Ain’t your Grandmother’s Sweet Potato Casserole” for my Thanksgiving and my family LOVED it! They were amazed how good it was (even without the traditional marshmallows!) and it was my mom’s favorite dish for the day!
Thanks for sharing! :)
