If I mention the word Thanksgiving, chances are I’m talking about food. They are pretty much synonymous. The beauty of Thanksgiving food is you can pretty much stuff yourself silly without judgement from anyone. Want to try 3 different types of pie? Here, try a 4th. Can’t decide what side dish to have? Throw every last one of them on your plate. That’s what Thanksgiving is about.
And since food is constantly on my mind this month, here are my very favorite Thanksgiving inspired recipes. Try one, or try ’em all. No judgement here.

I loved seeing your holiday recipe list, and have found some new things to try, but I was super bummed (the California in me) to see that your fabulous Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes (Nov 2013) weren’t included! I tried then right after I saw the post, and they we’re such a huge hit at Thanksgiving, I made then at least 3 times afterward for the Hubby and Kiddo, and just spent about 30 minutes searching for them because I failed to Pin or write them down.
Trust me People, this is a Rock Star recipe of hers, with the added bonus of ridiculously quick prep time, and saving that all-important oven space!!

Sorry. Looks like I didn’t catch all the autocorrects before submitting. Nevertheless, I do believe all you fellow Girl Scouts will surely love it :
