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.
![20101002-IMG_4054 20101002-IMG_4054](/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/20101002IMG_4054_thumb.jpg)
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!

[I now have a huge, huge craving for these.]

Sorry grandma, but this was the crowd favourite at my Thanksgiving dinner party in October! Wholesome yet incredibly delicious.

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!
WOW!!!! I am a long time reader but I’ve never commented, I had to de-lurk for this one. Yummy is all I have to say every. single. picture had me salivating. Every time I would scroll down I would say OMG I have to make that. I am amazed by you and your culinary skills cause Lord knows I have none.
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!

I’m definitely using some of these recipes- I KNEW I could come to your blog to find just what I was looking for… besides inspiration.
And you did so much work on this! Thank you for providing the recipes too!

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! :)
Kim
