Thanksgiving Recipes

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love searching for new recipes and planning the menu. I love, love, love preparing seasonal food and feasting with unapologetic fervor. Then there are the leftovers... Doesn't everything just taste better after it's been sitting in the fridge for a day or two?  Actually I promised myself that I wasn't going to pig out on leftovers this year, and somehow I still ended up in front of the fridge with a spoon, eating sweet potato casserole straight out of the pan. (But it doesn't count unless you make a plate, right?) I've also enjoyed a few slices of pumpkin bread, toasted with a little butter. In a few minutes, I'll probably have pumpkin pie with some vanilla coconut milk ice cream and a dollop of TruWhip (magical dairy free cool whip). So much for that resolution...

This year I tried out several new recipes. Most of them turned out well, or so I'm told :) I'm going to share all of my favorite recipes from Thanksgiving 2010; they can still be useful if you're like me and tend to repeat your favorite Thanksgiving dishes at Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, I can't wait to start experimenting with gluten free Christmas cookies and other desserts. Bring on the Christmas carols, lights, evergreen, and eggnog. This is my favorite time of year!

Happy Holidays!
