I’ll just take them all! Wish I was having a large gathering to make all of these wonderful things!
I’ll take all the pumpkin things! Oh, and anything Brussels sprout related too… that first pic with the Israeli couscous and shredded sprouts looks SO delicious! Great recipe round-up, Jenna. I think there needs to be a whole week of Thanksgiving dinners to fit them all in!
Your blog is the primary source to getting me in the Thanksgiving spirit. I’m thinking brie!
If you let me come to your house for Thanksgiving I promise I’ll wash aaaalll the dishes
Thanks for these! I love the way the mushroom stuffing looks! Question though- to make it 100% vegeterian, what do you think about vegetable broth? Or what do you think about taking the buttery mushroom broth (escpecially since they release juices) and the broth from the carrots/celery and pour it over the bread to substitute for the chicken broth? Thanks again!
I’m totally making this!
I wish we had Thanksgiving in the UK, just so I could stuff my face with all this delicious food! I’ll have to try some of those brussel sprout recipes for Christmas
You should throw yourself/family/friends a Thanksgiving celebration anyway!
Hello to Bessie!
OMG too many choices! Have a happy thanksgiving!
Omg I love your cardinal rule. And I’m not sure where you found Bessie, but she is awesome.
I love your cardinal rule! Mine is ‘when in doubt, bring PIE!” but I think yours could be more fun at the end of the evening.
I may be contributing a meritage to my fiance’s parent’s celebration this year. YUM!!
I have made the brussels sprout, bacon and dried cherries with Israeli couscous many times! My favorite!
A great round up Jenna! I want them all
“…when in doubt, bring booze” I think I just developed a girl crush haha. Also, this: http://www.someecards.com/thanksgiving-cards/thanksgiving-eat-stuff-food-fat-weight-turkey-stuffing-funny-ecard xoxo
Thank you Jenna for the list! I have been wondering what to make for my motherinlaws Thanksgiving dinner that would please his grandparents (grandma in law is very picky) and the chocolate pie list is perfect! Now I just got to decide on which one
THANK YOU for this!! i hate doing multiple searches on the internet. I cannot believe I volunteered to make something for my future in-laws cooking. my sweet fiance asked, what, are you going to make the bagged mashed potatoes like you do for me? haha.. umm, guess i better get to pretending I am martha stewart!
*future in-laws’ thanksgiving, that is. see, obviously just thinking about it makes me flustered! lord help me all. I think i might just bring sister schubert rolls!!
There are so many good recipes here! They look great. I posted today a couple good Thanksgiving side dishes if you have time to view!

This post really puts one in the mood for the Holiday next week!
Thanks for the recipe round-up, Jenna! I love looking back in your archives and will definitely be trying some of these! I’m embarrassed to say how many of the desserts I’ve made already…
ummmm YUP! I will be making a few of these for my contributions for the feast!!!
Thanks for so many tasty recipes to choose from! I’m in charge of bringing a sweet potato dish and cranberry sauce to my boyfriend’s parents. Any sweet potato dish ideas? I want to do a much healthier play on the traditional “Yams and Marshmallows.”
Yay! Thanks for this list. Soo many options, kinda overwhelming! But oh so exciting.
Perfect timing! I was just coming to look at your list from last year. Let the drooling commence!
My mouth is watering at the thoughts of all of those delicious recipes!
Hi Jenna – New to your blog and I love it! How early can you make the cranberry sauce? I would like to get a head start on some of my dishes but didn’t know what optimum time would be for the cranberry recipe. Thanks!
I’m hosting Thanksgiving for the 1s time this year – this is a treasure trove of recipes! Thanks!!
Ahhh, I’m so excited! Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite days of the year
This will be my second Thanksgiving out of the country! My first one was in college when I studied abroad, I was randomly in Bosnia-Herzgovinia for the holiday. Now I am in Morocco with the Peace Corps, and this year I am going to attempt to make a pumpkin pie using a REAL pumpkin (as in not from the can)!
Those Brussels sprouts look awesome. I was looking for a new way to make them and I have everything in stock to make those. Thank you !
A great recipe round up! Thanks Jenna. I will take one of each please!
These all look amazing, I can’t wait to give some of them a try. I suppose I should probably spend the weekend baking and cooking juuust to make sure they’re all good. For my family, of course!
Don’t forget about your flaky French Crescent rolls. These are my new tradition to bring to Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. So, so good. I’ve made your pear cardamom cake before as well and it is by far one of my favorite cakes I’ve made to date. I am for sure going to try your vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving breakfast (minus the vegan part. I have butter that needs using (-: )
We usually stick to the same dishes every year but I popped open half of the recipes above and planning to pin them for future events, so many yums!!!
All I can say is: Drool.* I am so hungry now, lol.
I included some of these yummy looking dishes in my Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Up this year – Keep up the good work.

My favorite Austin wedding I went to when I lived there was held at the Umlaif Sculpture gardens (bride said they were super to work with) and she had a post-reception party at Highball, too. Two great Austin venues
Wow, what a great list! I never have to make Thanksgiving but I’m definitely saving it for future meals.
