thanksgiving recipes!

Friends! Whether you’re gearing up for thanksgiving, or just starting to think about holiday menus … there is no doubt that this is a great time of year to cozy up with loved ones and cook the day away. While I am not doing the cooking for thanksgiving this year (I'll be giving thanks to someone else for doing the cooking and the dishes) .... I am starting to do some menu planning for the many holiday dinners / cookie swaps / parties I have coming up. I started to look back through the archives and realized that I have some fun recipes that I am looking forward to recreating, so I thought it would be great to share them (again!) with you. Many of these would make great additions to any table for any occasion… and many of them are great to make ahead of time, in case you’re the one in charge of bringing a dish to a party. 

If you are celebrate thanksgiving .... I wish you a very happy holiday, full plates + full hearts. xx
