Thanksgiving is so close! And I can’t stop thinking about all the sweet recipes I want to make before November 23rd (and the rest of fall).
So, I thought I’d round up some of my favorites before things get too busy. To make it easier to browse I divided the recipes into different categories (Thanksgiving Breakfast, Appetizers, Dinner, Desserts, and co*cktails).
Here are 27 delicious foods for Thanksgiving and beyond…
Thanksgiving Breakfast Recipe
Of course, when it comes to Thanksgiving, breakfast isn’t the first thing I think about. But we all need something in the morning to tide us over until the big treat.
so! Here are some breakfast recipes I love – perfect for Thanksgiving morning (or any morning, really).
1. Cinnamon Rolls from Wreaths Kitchen
Do cinnamon roll wreaths count as a snack? I think so too! Especially during holidays.
This would be great for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
2. Matcha Waffles
There’s something about the earthiness of matcha that feels like a solid pairing with Thanksgiving.
It’s definitely outside the box of what you would think of for Thanksgiving morning, but I don’t know, I love the idea.
3. How to Make French Toast in a Toaster Oven
Something that feels a little more ‘traditional’ for this time of year… French toast, but with a twist.
It has grilled apples, which really takes French toast to the next level.
4. Pumpkin Muffins
Pumpkin muffins are a better muffin, IMO. So this seemed appropriate for that day.
I love muffins for breakfast even on busy days. They are easy and on the go.
5. Peanut Butter and Jelly Waffles
The peanut butter part comes from the glaze/syrup and the ‘jelly’ component in the waffle. So it’s not as strange as it sounds. They are really delicious. But I could see how this waffle recipe would be most exciting to kids.
You can even use one of their holiday waffle presses (they even have Thanksgiving and Christmas themes) to make it extra special.
6. Super Easy Smoothie Bowl
Sometimes you want something light and easy for breakfast…to balance out the rest of the day.
This smoothie recipe is easy, has limited ingredients, and is delicious.

7. Long Charcuterie Board Runner (and Other Thanksgiving Entertaining Ideas)
Instead of spending lots of time decorating the dinner table for Turkey Day, skip the centerpiece and make a super long charcuterie board runner instead.
This will give everyone something to eat before dinner and taste good too. Like an edible centerpiece!
8. Fig and Honey Goat Cheese Crostinis
I feel very strongly that the combination of figs, honey and goat cheese is one of the best tasting combinations for special occasions.
It feels like a holiday to me for some reason. And the taste is very good.
9. Organic Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Recipe
This pumpkin spice spread will work for breakfast, appetizer, lunch or a quick snack. Lots of options.
It’s great for bagels, apples, graham crackers, bananas, even muffins.

10. Healthy(ish) Coconut Oil Cornbread create happiness
I love cornbread at Thanksgiving, what about you?
11. Honey Crisp Apple and Feta Salad from the Autumn Harvest half ripe crop
I recently made a version of this for a potluck and it was delicious! Would definitely make this again.
12. Hasselback Butternut Squash Recipe my kitchen love
What a beautiful looking side dish! The color alone is enough to inspire me to make this.
13. Easy Stuffing Recipe sugar and charm
Stuffing is one of my must-have sides on Thanksgiving. I never go without it.
And this recipe from Eden and Sugar & Charm looks amazing!
thank you sweets
14. Pumpkin Panna Cotta Tart cooking sweet dishes
Doesn’t this panna cotta look amazing? And I’m sure it tastes delicious too.
15. Pumpkin Candy Recipe
These festive candies are delicious! They are a perfect dessert/snack to keep in bowls on the coffee table, kitchen counter, etc.
If you’re going over to someone else’s house for Tea Day dinner this year, they’d also make a great hostess gift.
16. Apple Layer Cake
Look how cute (and moist) this cake looks. Yum!
17. Gingersnap Pumpkin Pie Recipe fork knife unconscious
I’m a big fan of pumpkin pie and generally just stick to the classic version. But this Gingersnap Pumpkin Pie has me very curious to try.
18. Vanilla Cream Filled Donuts brown eyed baker
I can almost taste these cream-filled donuts through the screen. They look amazing.
19. Cider Baked Pears with Apple Cider Caramel pig and pen
Have you ever eaten poached pears before? they are delicious. Especially when you pair them with something crunchy, like candied pecans.
20. Pear and Apple Tart waiting for martha
Look at this piece of tart. Definitely worth a try, IMO.
21. Baked Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donuts Baker Betty
Ummm…and donuts?! Yes! More donuts.
22. Easy Nutella Fudge Recipe
For all the Nutella lovers, this fudge recipe does not disappoint.
23. Easy Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe she wears many hats
I love that they are served in different glasses. Keeps things simple and allows guests to sit somewhere comfortable (like a sofa) to eat their dessert if they want.
24. Glazed Donut Pumpkin Seed Recipe
Reuse those seeds from Halloween to make insanely delicious Glazed Donut Pumpkin Seeds. you will not regret it!
25. Bourbon Pecan Pie food and wine
Some people consider pecan pie to be the best pie for Thanksgiving. And there’s bourbon in it too? Seems like a win-win.
26. Pumpkin Chia Cream
If you love pumpkin but don’t want pie, try this hearty cream. It is light and delicious.
27. Spiked Apple Cider Recipe
I can’t leave any Thanksgiving conversation without a co*cktail. And this spiked apple cider is my favorite alcoholic beverage!
It is beautiful and delicious.
