Thanksgiving is one of my very favourite holidays because I get to spend time with all my family, enjoy some amazing food, and admire the beauty of the gorgeous fall colours this time of year. This year I'm a little sad to be missing my family's Thanksgiving celebration, but it's because I'll be heading up north to spend the holiday with my boyfriend's family for the first time, which I'm very excited about!
Before I leave, I wanted to share a roundup of Thanksgiving recipes in case anyone out there is still menu planning (or if my American friends are looking to get a big head start on their plans!). For each category below, I highlighted some recipes that I've tried and loved, then I searched some of my favourite blogs to provide a few links to other recipes that I think look great. In the interest of keeping this as short as possible, I haven't written any descriptions, but just click on the links provided for more details. Enjoy and hope you all have a great weekend!
