Goat Cheese, Bacon and Jalapeno Pecan Tartlets
“The smoky, salty, crunchy bacon is a delicious complement to the creamy goat cheese. The jalapeno pecans adds a bit of peppery sweet to this tasty tidbit. Easy to prepare and a delight to serve.” - Helen
Holiday Meatballs
“This is a quick and easy meatball recipe that will be great for any party - holiday, tailgate... so many options. I used apple jelly and apple juice. I loved the flavors of the sweet apple combined with tangy chili sauce.” - Kitchen Crew
Baked Crab Popper Delights
“The perfect crab appetizer! No one needs to know how quick and easy these are. With a bit of heat, the red pepper adds a punch of flavor and the sauce you brush on top is a great touch.” - Kitchen Crew
2-Hour Turkey, Really.
“Well, not only does this actually work, it produces the BEST roasted turkey I've had to date. NO MORE GETTING UP AT 4 a.m. to start the holiday turkey, NO MORE BASTING. It's so incredibly fast and easy.” - Torrey
Turkey in a Bag
“Made my turkey this way for the first time on Thanksgiving!!! It was so wonderful I didn't have to worry about getting my oven messy and it came out SOOOOOO JUICY!!!!! Thanks for the great recipe!!!” - Beth
Apple And Herb Infused Roast Turkey
“This is my holiday roast turkey. It is so flavorful and moist. My family loves the infusion of fruit, and herb flavor. I know it's a little unconventional to use chicken broth, but I think it enhances the flavor without taking away the natural flavor of the turkey.” - Tammy
My Mom's Perfect Thanksgiving Stuffing
“My husband and I loved this recipe. True, this is probably a basic recipe all readers moms had used BUT, this one is the best!!” - Cat
Light and Fluffy Mashed Potatoes

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Pecans
“Brussels Sprouts make the perfect side dish to accompany any Thanksgiving feast. This recipe is so simple, it will allow you to create an amazing side without a lot of work. And it’s so tasty, no one will know how easy it was.” - Stacey
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
“Holidays just aren't the same without green bean casserole. My family loves the extra 'umph' the added mushrooms and cheese provide!” - Jennifer
Cranberry Sauce
“This year I made my favourite herb roasted turkey breast and of course no turkey holiday dinner would be complete without cranberry sauce! Cranberry sauce and turkey are meant to be together and I always enjoy a healthy spoonful of it served either right on top of the turkey or just on the side for easy dipping. This is the basic recipe for a cranberry sauce and it is very easy to make.” - Kevin
Southern Cornbread Dressing
“When it comes to planning your Thanksgiving feast, it’s difficult to say ‘turkey’ without immediately following it with ‘dressing.’ That is, if you’re in the South. Otherwise, you probably call it stuffing. But whatever you call it, Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without it.” - Melissa
Corn Casserole
“I made this today for Thanksgiving and it was awesome! Everyone loved it; it will be one of my holiday recipes from now on; the only difference I did was to add a can of green chilies to add some zip. This is a keeper!” - Carol
Old Fashioned Soft and Buttery Yeast Rolls
“The best rolls ever! I have made them probably 8 times now, in several climates, and for numerous people, and everyone loves them! Even my picky 2 year old! Thanks for a great roll recipe!” - Michelle
Sweet Potato Casserole
“Mashed sweet potatoes covered covered in a pecan crumble is another classic Thanksgiving side dish that you cannot go wrong with!” - Kevin
One Pot No Drain Mac & Cheese
“My husband is a macaroni and cheese fanatic and his absolutely favorite is pretty much any homemade version. There is just a heartiness in a made from scratch Mac & Cheese that sticks to your ribs and fills you up like no boxed mix can do.” - Christy
Holiday Spiced Cider
“The spices and apples in this spiced cider will make your entire house smell of the holidays. The clove and cinnamon, mixed with the warm cider, is the perfect combination on a cool, crisp day.” - Kitchen Crew
Bailey's Pumpkin White Chocolate
“So, just plan to get a bunch of Bailey's when you're out next, because this drink is so addictive, you'll want to make sure you have plenty on hand! There's some good pumpkin flavor in here without being overpowering, just enough kick from the Bailey's without tasting boozy. It's creamy and spicy - everything a fall drink should be!” - Jennifer
Caramel Apple Cider
“I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. I normally am so so on drinking cider, but this was wonderful.” - Virginia
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate
“The perfect blend of salty and sweet and for half the price of a coffee shop!” - Taylor
Mom's Special Pumpkin Pie
“Made it this year for Thanksgiving! It was the best pumpkin pie I ever ate! Made it the day before and it was NOT watery or soggy!” - Barbara
Granny’s Classic Southern Pecan Pie
Now I understand why we had Granny’s Classic Southern Pecan Pie so often. Granny’s Classic Southern Pecan Pie is CRAZY easy to make. You simply stir all the ingredients together and pour them into the pie crust then bake.” - Paula
Brown Paper Bag Apple Pie
“Made this last night and the pie is GONE!! This is my go to apple pie from NOW ON!!” - Carmen
