Recipe Roundup: Thanksgiving Dishes

written by NOA DIAMOND. November 1st, 2020

I freaking love Thanksgiving. I also feel like this can be a hot take. So many of my friends say they don’t like Thanksgiving food and I personally think that means they are doing Thanksgiving wrong. No, I don’t like gravy, green bean casseroles, or cranberry sauce from a jar, however, there are so many yummy recipes that I know will turn you into a Thanksgiving lover like me. Since I won’t be home for Thanksgiving for the first time ever, I want to make sure my dinner includes all the dishes that will bring me a sense of home.

Butternut Squash Pumpkin Soup

This soup screams fall and would honestly be perfect for any chilly day. I’m not usually a soup on Thanksgiving girl, but this would easily fit into my menu.

Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Garlic Pesto

My mouth is watering looking at these potatoes. I love potatoes in all forms so you know I always want a variety of kinds on my menu.

Rosemary Parmesan Sweet Potato

Yum to the yum. Sweet potatoes make me happy. Rosemary makes me happy. Parmesan makes me happy. Enough said.

Kale & Olive Oil Vegan Mashed Potatoes

Just in case the first two potato options weren’t enough for you, here is a fun take on the classic side of mashed potatoes. I’ve never seen mashed potatoes quite like these and I am certainly intrigued.

Roasted Beets with Citrus

I became a beets girl after going to Israel for a summer, and now I can’t get enough. A simple beet salad does not need any frills to make me happy.

Autumn Kale Salad with Fennel, Honeycrisp and Goat Cheese

This salad is stunning. I can taste the freshness through the computer screen.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Brussels are a staple side dish at my Thanksgiving every year. And these will definitely be on my menu.

The Best Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread Muffins

Every good Thanksgiving ends with dessert. These muffins are so easy to make and I’m sure they are delicious.

Paleo Cinnamon Apple Streusel Bread

Loaves at Thanksgiving are an absolute must in my book. Desserts that feature apples also have the key to my heart so this bread is everything I could ask for.
