Delicious + Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes to Make from side dishes to breakfast and brunch ideas to dreamy desserts! Gluten-free, paleo and plant-based options too.
Does anyone else feel like the holidays start way earlier every single year? Now don’t get me wrong – I love the holiday season so much. But wow we have been in full on Thanksgiving ad holiday cookie mode over here since like August and it is crazy town.

We are still at the point in our lives where we go to either of our parent’s for Thanksgiving each year. But with living in our new home, we are having the itch to entertain more and host holidays. We hosted Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and it was so great to have everyone over. Oh and don’t forget Halloween. We also hosted Halloween and it was so sweet to have everyone over and trick or treat!

For anyone who is hosting Thanksgiving or is looking for a dish to bring to the holiday, we have you covered!
