As you gear up for filling your Thanksgiving tables, you may feel creative fatigue making the same items year after year. Sure the classics are delicious, but they can also feel overdone and boring.

Green Bean Casserole got you down? Don’t want to feel the sugar high crash after devouring the mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallow? Cringe at the thought of another same-old cranberry jelly or compote? Or maybe you like it like I do, but sometimes you just want to switch it up.

So let’s try something different this year! I’ve got you covered with some recipes that are every bit as festive as the traditionals and super accessible ways to elevate your spread:

  • Homemade Green Bean Casserole full of umami from deeply browned mushrooms, nutty cheese, and golden fried onions

  • Roasted Sweet + Sour Squash for a flavorful and healthier twist on sweet potatoes

  • Poached Cranberries that are plump and juicy, perfect for pairing with really anything — salad, cheese boards, ham, turkey, the roasted squash, yogurt, cake, cheesecake,

Short and sweet, a few recipes to show my gratitude for you. Please also remember to start your day with a nourishing breakfast — it’s really challenging to have a good day when you’re intentionally restricting your food to save up for later. Cheers to a great day with your friends and families!

Thank you for showing up, for your support, for your powerful words and feedback, for being in my energy vortex, for trusting me. I couldn’t do this without all of you here.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends!! If you try this recipe, or any other recipe on my website, please let me know in the comments below. You can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I LOVE to see your photos!
