I’m so excited for the holidays to be here, a time where we all gather together and give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season planned, too!

I’ve compiled a list of recipe ideas to help you plan your Thanksgiving meal below. Of course we don’t have all of this in one sitting but I wanted to give you plenty to choose from! Click on each recipe to view the complete tutorial of how to make it. Recipes which are in the Southern Plate Classic Comfort Food That Makes Everyone Feel Like Family cookbook are noted in the side along with page number. Recipes which are exclusive to the cookbook (not on SouthernPlate.com) are also noted beside the recipe.
