Apple Pie is a classic! We have a couple recipes to choose from, both more delicious than the next. An old family recipe for apple pie will not disappoint. My friend Abby shared her Family Apple Pie recipe and it is everything you want from a family recipe. Tart apples, perfect spice and a flaky crust.
You really can’t go wrong with a pie called The Perfect Apple Pie. This one definitely lives up to its name.
An apple pie too big of an undertaking? These yummy apple pie bars are sure to make you forget all about the whole pie. The tender shortbread crust and caramel drizzle finish…these are all you need!
Apples hold a high spot around Thanksgiving, but I will not forget about the pumpkin. I love all things pumpkin and this Cinnamon Streusel Pumpkin Cake ranks as one of my favorite desserts of all time!
Looking for a little chocolate in your life? These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies check off both the pumpkin AND the chocolate and are perfect for a little treat after a big dinner!
Does the streusel cake look good, but need a little chocolate kick? My friend Chrissy took the pumpkin streusel cake up a notch with adding chocolate to the buttery, crumbly topping. You will not be disappointed with this version of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Streusel Bars.
This Pumpkin Poke Cake is so tender and moist and a perfect accompaniment to your Thanksgiving pies. Plus, it’s a great make ahead dessert to make the day before and stick in the fridge!
Want to go for the elegant dessert? These Individual Pumpkin Cheesecakes bring dessert to the next level. They are super creamy and light, but pack in a ton of flavor and are served in their own fancy glass making them seem way more difficult than they actually are!
Well if you are anti-pumpkin or anti-apple, I have the perfect dessert for you. This Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie has become a staple at our Thanksgiving Dinners and can *almost* make you say, “pumpkin apple who?”
Dessert is one of the best parts of the Thanksgiving Dinner, but all the sides leading up to dessert…those needs some time in the spotlight too!
I am a huge fan of stuffing…as long as it is some creative, unique stuffing. Do not try to give me mushy bread, stove top stuffing, or even worse…stuffing made inside a turkey. None of that appeals to me in the slightest. This Sausage and Sage Stuffing? Now you can go right ahead and give me a big pan of that and I will enjoy every bite!
Something about Thanksgiving and corn…you really can’t have it without some sort of corn dish. I mean…isn’t that kind of how Thanksgiving started…with some corn? Ok, now that I have given you a thorough history lesson (Ha!), let me introduce you to two delicious corn dishes for your Thanksgiving table!
This Sweet Creamed Corn is so simple, but a perfect addition to the meal!
If you want more of a casserole {tis the holiday for casseroles!} this corn dish is sure to please! My kids could eat this Corn Fritter Casserole with a spoon right out of the baking dish!
I think Sweet Potatoes are one of those love/hate types of foods. People are either crazy about them or want nothing to do with them. I think giving this Sweet Potato Casserole a try should be required for everyone because it is simply amazing! Creamy sweet potatoes with a brown sugar crust…you really cannot go wrong!
I love the Thanksgiving turkey and all of the sides, but something I always look forward to is the fresh, homemade bread. I am usually the one making that if I head to someone else’s house for Thanksgiving and it is always a big hit. It is also way easier than you might think! These Buttery Herbed Biscuits are a great recipe to start with if you are using yeast for the first time because it is really foolproof. And the result? Worth it.
If you are looking for more of a dinner roll, this recipe for Abby’s Dinner Rolls are sure to please. Slathered with some delicious honey butter, you truly won’t be able to have only one.
Alright, alright…we need something green, but these veggie dishes do not disappoint. These Green Beans with Bacon and Shallots are what vegetable dreams are made of. This one is a super quick recipe as well that won’t take up all your time so you save your energy for the turkey!
This Harvest Salad is something I could make over and over and never, ever get tired of. It’s combination of toasted pine nuts, blue cheese and golden raisins is delicious enough…but the delicious vinaigrette brings it to a whole new level!
Finally, I have to share my delicious Cranberries recipe with you all. I know that some of you swear by the food that looks like a can {literally}but this recipe is so delicious, you might…just possibly…ditch the can! These cranberries are great the next day with leftover turkey and rolls. Yum!
