You guys.
Thanksgiving is this week.
Just a friendly reminder, in case you (like me) are perpetually stuck in September and find this revelation rather shocking. I mean, it’s still like 70 degrees outside, so how is it late November already?
Since we’re less than 5 days away from the biggest food holiday of the year, I thought I’d help you out a bit. Since (let me guess) you haven’t started planning your menu yet.
That’s ok, neither have I (again, brain stuck in September).
Luckily, I’ve been posting our Thanksgiving recipes for the last 9 (!!) years, so we’ve got quite the arsenal of savory and sweet things to choose from. Mix ‘n match and make it your own, make it delicious, and make it your best Thanksgiving yet.

But the pumpkin creme brulee was an easy choice for dessert as I love creme brulee:-)
Thanks for your post. So much to look forward to this season.

Give me all of the sides. Particularly the stuffing – Thanksgiving is the one time of year I get stuffing. Yum, yum, and yum. I cannot wait.
I’ve been making your triple-chocolate pumpkin pie for my friends “Veggie Thanksgiving” potluck yearly for the past 4 or 5 years. It’s always a hit. I’m actually getting ready to make it today! Thanks for the great recipe :)
You sound like my sister… she insists on making that same pie every year since I first made it. :) It’s a good one, for sure!
Happy Thanksgiving!
