Thanksgiving Recipies

Thanksgiving is all about gathering around the table with comforting, seasonal dishes—and this collection includes the recipes I turn to year after year. Whether you’re hosting a full feast or contributing a dish to the celebration, there’s something here for everyone.

For the main event, I love a juicy Roast Turkey Breast paired with classic Cornbread Dressing and fluffy Dinner Rolls. I always add a few veggie-forward sides like Butternut Squash Salad or simply prepared Delicata Squash. For dessert, Sweet Potato Pie is a must, and nothing sets the mood like a glass of cozy Fall Sangria.
