20 Thanksgiving Day Food Musts: A Recipe Round Up

Thanksgiving is just about ten days away.  To help plan your Thanksgiving menu I have assembled a recipe round-up of 20 Thanksgiving Day Food Musts featuring some of my favorite fellow bloggers and their mouth-watering recipes.  From breakfast to appetizers and sides to beverages and desserts, this recipe round-up has something for everyone’s tastes.  

Breakfast:

I always struggle with breakfast on Thanksgiving.  If you are like me you most likely started some of your cooking on Thanksgiving Eve and come morning you have a long list of things you need to do. Check out some of these recipes to help you handle the Thanksgiving breakfast dilemma.  Try these Mini Pumpkin Muffins With Cinnamon Chips {Made With Applesauce and Greek Yogurt} by Pandora’s Deals or my Pumpkin Granola Yogurt Parfaits with Pepitas.

Appetizers and Sides:

I am a huge fan of appetizers and sides.  In my opinion, good appetizers and sides take any meal to the next level.  On Thanksgiving I always make an abundance of appetizers and sides. Here are some of my favorites. 

Jalapeno Cranberry Baked Brie from my friend Lauryn of The Vintage Mom.

Squash Soup in Pumpkin Bowls from superstar Lisa of A Day in Our Shoes.

Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Bake from the amazing Deanna and Serena of a Teaspoon of Spice 

This recipe pairs well with poultry, give my Tri-Color Quinoa and Broccoli a try.

Fall Roasted Vegetables with Flax Seasoning from my gal pal Becky of Crafty Garden Mama.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Caramelized Onions from the ever-so-fashionable Jo-Lynne of Musings of a Housewife

Rosemary Mashed Sweet Potatoes from the very talented Lindsay of Pandora’s Deals

My Butternut Squash and Pear Salad with Grana Padano was on the blog yesterday.  I am including it here in case you missed it.  Check out the colors.

Beverages:

No holiday is complete without an assortment of beverages and cocktails. Now, of course I have a few of my favorites to share with you.  On the menu for this Thanksgiving be sure to include my Creamy Pumpkin Coffee, my Autumn Spice Slammer , or my good friend Donna’a Homemade Salted Caramel Baileys.  

Desserts and Sweets:

Clearly I have a massive sweet tooth and so day my friends.   Dessrts and sweets is the largest category on this Thanksgiving Day Food Musts round-up.  I can’t wait to incorporate some of these desserts into my own menu this year – they all look so delicious.  Here are seven of my favorites.  

Esther of Coupon Cutting Mom has a beautiful Pumpkin Butter Cake.

The always fun Colleen of one my favorite blogs, Souffle Bombay, shared her Mini Thanksgiving Desserts with me.

This recipe featuring Thanksgiving Dessert Squares is so simple and easy to whip up.  

Fantastic Fran of the Flavourful Fork has a great Pumpkin Tiramisu on her site.  

I’m obsessed with Lindsay’s Pumpkin Spice Pudding Parfaits and Lauryn’s Pumpkin Dip with Marshmallows and Pecans is so tempting.  

Lastly, I am sharing this fun Ginger Snap Cookie post.  This is a perfect recipe for getting your kids in the kitchen; check out my little chefs.  

Thanksgiving is all about food and family.  I hope you enjoy my 20 Thanksgiving Day Food Musts recipe round up.
