Thanksgiving Menu Recap


It may be almost Christmas, but I wanted to pull together a post with all my favorite Thanksgiving recipes.  This year, I kept looking back to this post to refresh my memory on what I served.  It was helpful, but I added several new winning recipes this year.  So an update was in order!


For years, our Thanksgiving holidays were spent on vacation.  This year, that changed with our new college calendar.  And then, Covid made our meal look even more different!  

So let's get started with the appetizers.



I like to make a punch or cocktail for Thanksgiving.  This year, I tried a new recipe from 



In previous years, I made this cranberry cocktail. 
It's so simple and I like it better, so I'll probably go back to this recipe.



We had some pimento cheese from Sam's Club, 
as well as a goat cheese/cranberry log from Trader Joe's.



Blaine brought all the meat for Thanksgiving this year, but I have two winning recipes for turkey.  
When we have a smaller group, a turkey breast is perfect.  Here's my recipe.  



And here's my recipe for a whole turkey - so easy and delicious!



 I made my "semi-homemade" stuffing.  
This just involves adding a few fresh ingredients to store-bought stuffing mix. 



In past years, I have made this simple recipe for cranberry sauce.  This year I took the easy road and picked up some Trader Joe's cranberry sauce.  It was delicious!



I tried a new sweet potato recipe this year.  It was the best I've ever made!






Dessert...pumpkin pie and pecan pie of course.

Do you change your Thanksgiving menu from year to year
or stick with tradition?
Thanks for stopping by!
