Good morning everyone ☀️

Let’s un-complicate your Thanksgiving celebration🍾 

This week, we're serving up four easy, but delicious recipes that are sure to impress. Discover meal ideas, tips and insight to make this Thanksgiving a breeze 🍂

Let’s get cooking!

The Best Thanksgiving Stuffing 🍞✨

This stuffing recipe unfolds its true brilliance when crafted with day-old (or even days-old) bread. Why? Because it eagerly absorbs the rich symphony of flavours—buttery leeks, aromatic herbs, and savoury broth.

Sweet Potato Casserole 🍠🍯

Made with mashed roasted sweet potatoes and a crunchy pecan topping with an ooey gooey melted marshmallow centre!

Parmesan Roasted Green Beans 🧀🫛

If green beans dressed up as cheesy garlic bread, they would become these Parmesan roasted green beans. Tossed in garlic and black pepper and showered with cheese, this simply irresistible side will steal the spotlight at every holiday table.

Creamless Creamed Corn with Mushrooms and Lemon 🌽🍄

Elevate your Thanksgiving table with a twist on tradition. This vegan creamless creamed corn with mushrooms and lemon is a celebration of simplicity and flavour. Creamy, tangy, and utterly delicious, it's a delightful addition to your stress-free holiday spread - that is accessible to the vegans in your family 🙂 

Thanksgiving Punch 🍎🍹

This Thanksgiving Punch is a symphony of autumn and winter flavours. Crafted with apple cider, whiskey, fruit juice, brandy, and soda, it's a delicious holiday concoction. Keep it kid-friendly by serving the whiskey on the side, ensuring everyone can raise a glass to the season's warmth 🧡

Sweet Potato Superfood: Sweet potatoes are not just delicious; they're also a nutritional powerhouse. Rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, sweet potatoes can help maintain healthy skin, vision, and organ function. They're also high in fiber and antioxidants, which contribute to gut health and may have cancer-fighting properties.

Roast to Perfection: For a twist on traditional roasted vegetables, try a two-step roasting process. Start by roasting harder vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and squash at a lower temperature to cook them through evenly. Then, crank up the heat for the last 10-15 minutes to get that irresistible caramelized exterior. This method ensures your veggies are perfectly tender on the inside with a deliciously crisp finish. Plus, the high heat at the end can help free up oven space for other dishes as you finalize your Thanksgiving feast.

From your neighbours to the north (who celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving a month ago), we hope all our American readers enjoys a lovely celebration with their loved ones, and that these recipes come in handy 🍁🧡
