We can hardly believe it, but Thanksgiving is almost here! We've already had a little taste of the holidays with our Friendsgiving gathering earlier this month, but we are certainly ready for round two with our families next week. Thanksgiving is one of the best food holidays, so we gathered up a whopping 40 of our favorite recipes (like this spiced apple cider) that would be perfect for any holiday table:
Wow your guests with Emma's oranges and herbs turkey, and for an extra kick of flavor, serve it with some candied ginger cranberry sauce.
Make your holiday sweet with some caramel apple cheesecake.
Mix up your cocktail hour with this spiked apple cider float.
Never tried brussels sprouts? Give these delicious citrus and pomegranate brussels sprouts a try!
These accordion potatoes with rosemary and garlic are the perfect compliment to your main course.
How amazing does this strawberry cheesecake look?
Add some exotic flavors to your meal with these Thai style green beans.
Our Friendgiving guests went crazy for this bacon and bourbon stuffing (probably because it has bacon and bourbon in it, hello!?!)
If you love bread and cheese (two of our favorites), then you'll love these cheese puffs.
Pecan pie ice cream. Need I say more?
For a classic Thanksgiving dessert with a twist, try this mascarpone pumpkin pie.
These cranberry jello shots are sure to be a big hit (and you can make kid friendly versons too!)
These mustard brussels sprouts are easy to make and taste delicious. It's a win-win side dish!
After your meal, curl up by the fire with this rosemary latte.
Serve a slice of heaven with this buttermilk and honey pie.
How cute are these pumpkin pie in jars?
If you are the kind of person that always fills up on rolls before the main course gets served (and you're totally fine with that), then these easy dinner rolls are for you!
Delight your guests with this pomegranate and ginger mulled wine.
I can't even look at this pumpkin cheesecake martini without wanting to run to the cocktail cart to make one. Speaking of holiday treats turned into drinks, how about a pumpkin pie milkshake for the kids?
This baked risotto is fantastic (and it looks so pretty too!)
Have some brussel sprouts leftover from your meal? Make these brussel sprout chips!
Want a fruity twist for your holiday stuffing? Try our cranberry apple stuffing.
When your guests pound the table and chant, "We want PIE!", bring out this spiced bourbon apple pie and let the cheers roll in! (Or, for individually sized desserts, try a baked apple instead).
As if potatoes weren't delicious enough when baked the first time, double the flavor with these twice baked potatoes.
Send your guests home with this sweet and spicy peanut brittle.
Can't decide between brownies or pie? This brownie pecan pie is the best of both worlds!
This ginger cranberry martini combines the best holiday flavors all in one tasty drink.
Looking for some side dish variety? Try this corn on the cob 3 ways.
Is it possible to make creme brûlée any more delicious? YES! Just add pumpkin spice into the mix and you've found the creme brûlée of your dreams.
For the chocolate lovers, whip up this frozen chocolate peanut butter pie.
This spiced chai latte (or spiked maple apple cider) will warm you from the inside out on a chilly Thanksgiving night.
Need a sweet garnish for your turkey day treats? This crockpot caramel will hit your sweet spot!
Remember, pumpkin isn't just for the dessert table. Add this pumpkin risotto to your dinner menu!
Add a southern flair to your drink list with this sweet tea hot toddy.
End your night with a delicious sweet treat of baked apple and bourbon ice cream.
Can you believe that was 40 recipes!? I don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty hungry seeing all the delicious posibilities. Hope your Thanksgiving celebration is full of loved ones and great food! xo. Emma

Oh my!! Thank you for sharing! The baked risotto looks ahhhmazing! Question: I don’t have any oven safe pans… What kind of adjustments should I make if I use a Teflon pan and transfer it to a casserole dish?
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here but these are great tips for the upcoming holidays too! xx

I’m not cooking on Thanksgiving (I’ve opted out because the day of is my big 3-0 (!) … but I clicked over just to see the pictures. It takes talent to do food art and photography and I can’t believe how good you girls are. So, yum!
🙂
These look really good! However, some of your links lead to the wrong pages (I looked up the ginger cranberry martini, but it links to baked risotto). Someone may want to check that!
That spiced chai latte.. YUM!

Accordion potatoes and apple cheesecake pie are my two favorites—and maybe that caramel!
I was just looking for a recipe to bring to a work Thanksgiving potluck and you guys posted this! Fantastic, thanks!
These photos make me so sad that Thanksgiving isn’t celebrated here in Germany 🙁 But the apple pie cheese cake looks so delicious I’m going to give it a try at Christmas!

When you guy’s do these big posts of 20 or 30 or 40 things it’s really overwhelming. Many of these recipes went up on the blog on their own in the last few weeks, why repost? It feels like you had nothing new to post so to make up for it pulled everything you could think of to repost. It’s ok to have nothing new!
Hi Stephanie,
We do round-ups as a quick/easy resource for readers who aren’t checking the blog every day, or who weren’t reading 1 and 2 years ago. We feel very proud of the content we create, so we hate the idea of watching it disappear just because it was posted in the past. As these posts receive some of the most views of any, it’s clear some readers do find them useful. We wouldn’t post them if that weren’t the case. Sorry for overwhelming you. Not what we’re trying to do. If it’s not a useful resource for you, please do skip over them.
Thank you so, so much for being such a loyal reader! It seriously means so much to us.
Emma
You’re too sweet! xo. Emma
Full disclosure: I’m not a huge cheesecake fan, so I didn’t used to make it. That kind of sucks, because there are so many cool cheesecake ideas out there. But my husband is a HUGE cheesecake fan, so that gives me an excuse to experiment quite a bit.;)
xo. Emma
You know, you could always start a tradition! Why not invent a day to may a giant meal with your friends and family? Any holiday build around eating is a good day.
xo. Emma
Kate, aren’t you just sweetest! Thank you for reading! xo. Emma
Wow, so much inspiration and deliciousness! Will definitely try at least one of these recipes for the Thanksgiving festivities next week! Thanks ladies! Have a great one! -Iva
I want a bite of each! Thanks for the inspiration to try something new. I think I might be going for that brownie pecan pie this year 🙂
Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas! I’m going to make the accordion potatoes.
Scrolling through that post has made me seriously hungry!
I think i may adopt friendsgiving, seeing as it would be odd the celebrate thanksgiving in UK but I need a good excuse to cook LOTS of delicious food!
