At some point during the pandemic, I started making Pinterest boards for dinner parties that I wanted to host when lockdowns finished and life returned to “normal”. To be honest, they were all various Thanksgiving themed boards, based around me FINALLY roasting a turkey for the first time in my life. I decided this was......
After many years of blogging, I finally have go-to recipes nailed down for all my favourite things I like to make at Thanksgiving. This year, I realized it would be handy to have links gathered in one post for easy planning and grocery list making! Here they are: Stuffing Mashed Potatoes Root Vegetable Crumble Cranberry......
I stuck to the classics for Thanksgiving this year, but I just had to made at least one new recipe, and I knew right away which one it would be. Claire posted this video/recipe back in May under the title “The Best Homemade Dinner Rolls” and there’s no better time to put that claim to......
Does anyone really need a recipe for Cranberry Sauce? Actually yes, I do. I used to just follow the recipe on the back of the bag of frozen cranberries, but the package I’ve bought the past few years doesn’t have one, and then I find myself scrambling to find a recipe as the cranberries start......
No one in my family likes pumpkin pie except my Mom and Dad, and since it was just the three of us for Thanksgiving this year, I decided to make it for them. But not just any pumpkin pie! I reverse engineered this creation from Cake & Loaf‘s Thanksgiving menu that I kept seeing on......
I had a small Thanksgiving dinner with my parents this year, and made half-batches of my two favourite sides: Mashed Potatoes & Stuffing. I usually make one more side dish with sweet potatoes or butternut squash, and so with a smaller number of test subjects this year, I auditioned a new recipe combining both: Root Vegetable......

Instead of dwelling on it, I decided to focus my energy on the food, and scaling down all my must-have dishes for our small celebration of three (me + my parents). So it’s the perfect time to document......
I was so, so excited to host Thanksgiving at my place this year! My middle brother and sister-in-law were away celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary, so I was able to fit everyone else (7 grown-ups, 2 kids) in my condo. You know by now that I took this very seriously, and it was basically......
Taking a look back in my archives it seems like I only contribute dessert to Thanksgiving dinner, so I’m making sure to blog about the sides I brought this year, because they were AMAZING. The thing with my family is that they just want the regulars around the table, and are sometimes suspicious when......
The theme for our Gastropost Mission this week was FEAST which was timed to coincide with Thanksgiving weekend. This couldn’t be more perfect for me, as my Mom’s turkey dinner is my #1 favourite feast and my desert island/death row meal. I LOVE IT. It always includes the following: turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, and......
