How can the holiday season be here already? Wasn’t it just New Year’s and we were making resolutions for the year? (Which reminds me, I still need to work on a few of mine …) I know each year I typically make the same dishes for my Thanksgiving dinner. And why not? They are family traditions and wonderful! But this year, I’m thinking about trying some of the recipes you have shared that are part of your Thanksgiving<\/a><\/strong> traditions.<\/p>\n

The turkey is the center of the meal on Thanksgiving. Add some seasonings, butter, roast it in the oven and you have one tasty bird. But, looking to serve it a little different this year? Sherry Monfils’<\/a><\/strong> Easy Turkey with Apple & Glaze<\/a><\/strong> is so delicious and I love the addition of apples. What a great, easy twist! This bird came out so moist and had the most wonderful rich and deep flavors. <\/p>\n

Colleen Barrett’s<\/a><\/strong> Mom’s Deluxe Mashed Potatoes<\/a><\/strong> recipe is a great way to switch-up traditional mashed potatoes. “This dish was an instant hit [with my family] and has been a tradition at all of our holiday tables ever since.” The addition of carrots and dill make these amped up mashed potatoes simply spectacular.<\/p>\n

Another dish that I love is stuffing (or dressing depending on what part of the country you are in). It’s one of those traditional side dishes, that everyone seems to scoop up. And I just love the Mom’s Perfect Thanksgiving Stuffing<\/a><\/strong> recipe Robyn Bruce<\/a><\/strong> shared. “My mom is 91 years old now, but through the years the best thing about Thanksgiving was the stuffing,” says Robyn of her cherished recipe. I can’t get enough of this wonderfully classic stuffing recipe.<\/p>\n

I’m surprised I was able to take a photo to share with everyone when I made Debra Shute’s<\/a><\/strong> Beet Salad<\/a><\/strong>. I couldn’t stop eating it. Don’t like beets? I think this recipe may change your mind. “My grandmother always had this with the Thanksgiving turkey,” says Debra. I’m definitely going to serve this at my Thanksgiving meal, may even add it to my Christmas dinner too.<\/p>\n

I also know Erin Latch’s<\/a><\/strong> Mom’s Chess Pie<\/a><\/strong> is going to be on the menu this year. “My mom passed this recipe on to me years ago,” says Erin. “Everyone loves her chess pies!” Perfectly sweet, smooth and creamy …what’s not to love?<\/p>\n

After a full day of eating, it’s nice to cap off the meal with a nice cup of tea. Deanne Dyer’s<\/a><\/strong> Hot Cranberry Tea<\/a><\/strong> is THE tea to enjoy over the holidays! “This yummy, tasty drink is a tradition in our family during the holidays,” says Deanne. You can make this ahead of time and just reheat it when you’re ready to relax.<\/p>\n

There is nothing better than sitting around the table with family and friends, being thankful for all our blessings and enjoying an amazing meal. What are some of the things you are thankful for this year? I know I’m thankful for all the recipes you have shared with us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
