Thanksgiving is just about here and I have been getting lots of questions about some great recipe Ideas. Everyone has their MUST HAVES at the Thanksgiving table, and here are a few of our favorites. However I am NOT a fan of turkey, I do cook (even though we have no recipes posted) them but I am just not crazy about it. We always have ham along with our turkey. Click on the title above the picture to go right to the recipe.

Starters

We like to visit a while before the big meal and that includes some figure type foods.

Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip or Pepper Jelly

Slow Cooker Cheese Dip

Serve with lots of fresh veggie or apple slices also great with diced bread.

Salads

Salads always go over really well at my family’s Thanksgiving meal. It is nice to have something lighter to go with all the heavy dishes.

Chicken, Feta and Strawberry Salad

I would leave the chicken off of this salad for Thanksgiving but it the light flavors of the fruit goes great with a heavy meal.

Salad with Oranges

Here is another great light salad.

Ham

Since we are not big Turkey fans at our house  Ham plays a big part in our meal.

Honey Glazed Ham

If we are not going to have a Honey Baked Ham this is what we serve.

Side Dishes

This is the best part of the meal for me.

MASHED Potatoes

Mashed Potatoes are my all time favorite food and Thanksgiving is just not the same with out them.

Sweet Potato Casserole

This casserole is great and here is a Little Healthier Version.

Baked Pineapple AKA Pineapple Casserole

This is ALWAYS a HUGE HIT.

Cranberry Salad or Relish

This is made every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is a family favorite.

Cherry Pecan Stuffing (Dressing)

I made this dressing last year since I am not crazy about regular Dressing.
