Blog Friendsgiving

Last year I went all out in November, posting a new "thank you" note to life every day. This year, I just want to reiterate that I'm so thankful for this community and your support of my little blog. It has really changed my life in the best way possible. I'm constantly amazed by the people I meet and the things I get to do... So thank you!

Now, while it would be difficult to plan a real-life Friendsgiving potluck (as would be my ideal way to say thanks) consider this a digital version of sharing the dinner table: Yesterday I asked my Tweeps and Facebook Page friends to share their favorite Thanksgiving dishes. If you happen to be looking for a new and improved addition to your meal plan, here are some bona fide blogger (and reader) approved recipes worthy of a taste test:

Elizabeth loves to start with her Butternut Squash Soup with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds,

Natalie favors a Southern side of Sweet Potato Casserole (complete with mini marshmallows!)

Sarah goes for some serious veggies: Brussels Sprout Hash with Caramelized Shallots,

Nikki loves her family version of Corn Pudding.

As for me, I'm with Elizabeth - we both love the stuffing!

And Beckie's recipe for Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce would make a great topping,

(but Camila and I agree that the canned stuff is always a guilty favorite, too.)

As for dessert, Jen, Meghan, and many more go for the classic Apple Pie,

...and Brookelyn opts for her gluten free version of Apple Crumble.

But fear not, the traditional pumpkin finish has not been left out:

Rita says Paula Deen's Pumpkin Cheesecake is to die for (and I believe her).

Lest we forget, the décor matters, too. How gorgeous is this table on Style Me Pretty (above)?

Well, thanks for sharing everyone! If you have your own to add, please do so in the comments. The more, the merrier. Happy cooking, and happy eating, blogger family.
