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.

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!
This whole post is incredible! It’s not warm here, but I’m sure it’s warmer than where you are…so you can TOTALLY come and stay with me ANYTIME! ;)
I have no words! Seeing these all in one post, it’s amazing! I’m in awe! You go, girl!! :)
Food overload! I want to try it all! :)
But the Maple Spiced Quinoa with Cranberries, Apricots, and Almonds caught my eye! :)
I want to make that breakfast pizza sooooo bad!! I think you are pretty covered in the recipe area :-) haha….I always go to teavanna for my teas, such a HUGE selection!
I almost ate my computer those pictures look so amazing. So much deliciousness on one page can’t be legal, can it?
You weren’t joking about the “it will make you hungry” part! I was drooling the entire time. It all looks phenominal. This year some of my friends are organizing the 2nd annual Kegsgiving for those that won’t be able to go back to their families for Thanksgiving.
I am vegetarian and in charge of the apple crumble but I think I will surprise them all and make a modified version of apple crumble from your recipes.
Thanks!
P.S I’m from Montreal, Canada but now live in Los Angeles, CA and we definitely have a warm fall/winter so far! Come down and visit haha!
I wish you were close to a Trader Joe’s because they have a lovely cinnamon vanilla black tea. I’ve been enjoying it every day with a splash of almond milk! Deeeelighful!
Oh lord!!!!!! I kept scrolling down thinking “ok next one I’m sure I won’t like”! Angela these are all great, thank you for taking the time to share this!
hahah this made me laugh!
My absolutely favourite tea is called “Good Earth” tea. Available with and without caffeine. Naturally on the sweeter side, DELICIOUS iced too.
Wow! Ok, I found your site because someone at the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival in SF was talking about you. I love your site! Your desserts are delicious, unique and impressive :)

Hello,
i have two questions about the soft ginger cookies which I’ve made several times and love. Does anyone have a brand of ginger to recommend? They seem to vary wildly in intensity. Also, there used to be two version of this recipe and I was using the one not in your wedding post can you put both in the recipe archives? Thank you and this blog is the best cooking instruction I’ve ever had!
