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.

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 :)
congratulations on the Reader’s Choice for Project Food Blog this week!!
Congrats, Angela!! I am so excited for you!! Remember, you deserve this!!

Ange – this post is simply out of control! Especially the desserts – I want to try every single one of them. Thanks for doing the round up!
If you promise to cook for me you can come live with me on mission bay front in San Diego for hte winter!!! The weather is still pretty nice these days.

i’ll definitely be making that sweet potato casserole on thanksgiving. and i’ve got to try those pumpkin garlic knots, too!
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!
Hi there!
