Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday!

The comforts of big, bulky sweaters and cozy boots are just the icing on the cake of amazing food and family get-togethers.  

I usually take weeks ahead of time dreaming up the perfect Thanksgiving table.  I love searching for new recipes and finding any twists on the traditional ones.  I have my tried-and-true that I cannot steer away from, but when it comes to the sides, I am always willing to try something new.

I’ve rounded up my favorites this year and the best part is, all of it is in season right now!
