Thanksgiving Menu Ideas & Favorites to help you get through the day. Some things are made the night before which always makes life a little less crazy that day!

this …

I’ll try and keep things simple, because sometimes having too many options gets to be a little overwhelming. I’m going to remind you though that my family goes a little crazy with desserts at Thanksgiving, so the dessert options are going to far outweigh any other category. And in case you’re wondering, it was EXTREMELY hard to narrow it down to the desserts I’m sharing. Yes, I know my family has serious dessert issues.

Everything I’m sharing today is so, so good, but if you only make a couple things from this post, PLEASE make the cranberry muffins with butter sauce and the cranberry salad. These two are family traditions since I was a kid and it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without them.

Oh man! I say that, but now I’m thinking to myself Wait, you need to make the cranberry salsa over cream cheese, and both the lemon pies and the sweet potato casserole . . . oh geez, I give up. I want you to make everything, so you’re just going to have to decide (lol!)!

Oh, one more thing. I just switched over to a new recipe plugin so I’m in the process of making sure all my recipes converted over correctly. It’s going to take me some time, but if you happen to come across a recipe before I do that is missing info, doesn’t have a photo, looks wrong, etc., would you just let me know so I can fix it ASAP.  Thank you!

Just click on the picture and it will take you to that recipe. Let’s get this party started🦃. . .
