    Everything You Need For A Delicious Thanksgiving

    Are you still deciding on a menu for Thursday?  We are here to help!  We have you covered from the appetizers, the turkey, thru the sides, and on to the desserts.  Here is a list of our very favorite Thanksgiving recipes.

    The Appetizers

    Ranch Cheeseball

    Classic.  Delicious.  Easy.  Loved by all.  You can't go wrong with this guy.  Serve it up with crackers, and meats for an appetizer to please the crowds.

    .

    Pumpkin Pie Dip

    Looking for something a little sweet to add to your appetizer table?  Pumpkin Pie Dip is the answer.  Creamy pumpkin and cream cheese pair with maple syrup and cinnamon for a sweet dip to serve alongside apple slices, pears, and gingersnaps.

    Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

    Always a favorite - bacon is the cure for all!  Crisp water chestnuts, wrapped in bacon, and drenched in a honey bbq sauce are a party in your mouth with this appetizer!

    The Turkey

    World's Best Fried Turkey

    When it comes to turkey - fried takes the cake.  Crispy skin with a moist inside - this turkey will be the crown jewel of your Thanksgiving table.

    Traditional Stuffing

    Stuffing is my personal favorite part of the feast.  And this homemade stuffing will not disappoint.  We have this recipe perfected and it will be sure to be a hit at your party.

    Semi-Homemade Stuffing

    If you want to skip part of the recipe, try our our semi-homemade stuffing.  Made special with cranberries and almonds.

    Sweet Potato Casserole

    Sweet potatoes are another go-to at turkey day, but skip the marshmallow version.  Try out decadent sweet potato casserole for a gourmet version of those canned yams.

    Candied Green Beans with Bacon

    Bring on the veggies - these green beans are not your grandma's cream of yuck version.  With bacon and pecans this veggie will not be left in the shadows.

    Bacon Brussels

    Another veggie that is near and dear to our hearts - these bacon Brussels are tender, flavorful, and a favorite around the table.

    Cinnamon Cranberry Sauce

    Skip the canned cranberry sauce and make it homemade.  It's easier than you think, and this dish will actually get eaten - unlike the can of gel.

    Layered Jello

    We ALWAYS serve jello on Thanksgiving, and this layered version is so fun.  This is a quick recipe to make, but will definitely deliver lots of smiles on turkey day.
