Still need some ideas for your Thanksgiving feast or a dish to bring over? Well, you’ll be happy to hear I’ve got you covered, from breakfast to appetizers, the whole bird to side dishes, and of course a delicious array of fall desserts!

For the morning of, why not try my sweet and simple Berry Strata or a savory Potato Frittata? Before the feast gets underway, toast to your guests with a Pomegranate Cosmopolitan as they snack on Spicy White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip or Cinnamon Roasted Almonds. For side dishes, try my Rosemary & Sea Salt Parker House Rolls or Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with Thyme, and if you don’t already have a method for the whole bird, my Roasted Turkey recipe keeps it easy. When you’re ready to dig into dessert, Pecan Pie Bars and Pumpkin Walnut Cupcakes with Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting make for delicious twists on traditional favorites.
