Thanksgiving – My Favorite Recipes

Our Thanksgiving feast includes family favorites we make year after year. I can’t imagine not seeing cast iron skillet dressing, creamed corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, and applesauce on my dinner plate. Don’t even get me started on dessert.

Of course, I’m always looking for a new great recipe. I hope that you are too because you’ll find our Thanksgiving favorites gathered together and waiting for you right here.

Our farmhouse and our recipes are nut free and shellfish free. Food allergies became a part of our lives more than a decade ago, so you won’t find any peanuts, tree nuts, or shellfish in our recipes. If you don’t live with nut allergies, you can add your favorite nuts to our baking recipes with equally delicious results!
