Candied Sweet Potatoes with Bourbon
It isn't every day we get to soak our vegetables in bourbon but the holidays are the perfect time to indulge in these sweet, boozy potatoes.
Fall Herb Butter
Whip up a batch of this herb butter before you serve Thanksgiving dinner. This butter is creamy, crunchy from chopped almonds, and flavorful from a medley of herbs, making it a great spread for the table!
Ginger-Lime Baby Carrots
Having trouble using your smaller carrots? Use them as baby carrots in this Japanese inspired recipe.
Pork Belly Lettuce Wrap
Take a queue from Korean cuisine with these flavorful pork belly lettuce cups. Using lettuce as the wrap for this dish adds freshness to the flavorful, spicy dish.
Beet Chocolate Cake
This dairy-free, gluten-free cakes is a great option for the holidays. The earthy and sweet beet purée adds so much color and rich moisture to the cake, you would never guess it's dairy free.
Chicken Quinoa Soup with Baby Greens and Turmeric
Baby greens are great in salads but sometimes it's nice to switch things up. In the colder months, we like to use our greens in warm recipes like this chicken quinoa soup. It's warm and filling and a great way to use your greens in the fall and winter.
Foolproof Mashed Potatoes
With all the fun, experimental recipes you can try on Thanksgiving, there is nothing like classic mashed potatoes. They're smooth, creamy, and oh-so-comforting and this recipe will help you make the perfect classic mashed potatoes for your Thanksgiving.
Gingersnap Sweet Potato Praline Pie
This Pie has encompasses all the greatest flavors of fall. We love making this sweet potato pie for the holidays because we get to use our delicious farm fresh sweet potatoes!
Radish and Pecan Grain Salad
This autumnal salad is freshened up by bright and spicy watermelon radishes.
Crispy Apple and Kohlrabi Salad
With a big meal like Thanksgiving, sometimes it's nice to add a fresh dish to the mix. This apple and kohlrabi salad adds just that using fresh seasonal produce. This salad would make the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving meal or any meal in the fall.
Garlic Broth
Unfortunately, sick days happen, especially in the fall. This Delicious broth is a great simple meal to have on hand for sick days because it's easy, and a powerhouse for fighting colds and detoxifying the body. Make a big batch and store in the freezer for use all winter long.
Pickled Scallions (or Leeks!)
You can use these pickled scallions in place of pickled onions on tacos, sandwiches, burgers, salad, and many other dishes.
Spicy Cabbage with Turkey and Peanuts
It's nice to switch it up with Thanksgiving leftovers at the end of November and this salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey. Cabbage and peanuts add a nice crunch to this fresh and seasonal salad.
