2013 Thanksgiving Menu

Jump to Recipe

With Thanksgiving officially less than 2 weeks away, I thought I'd share my menu!

I won't lie, I've had this planned since September. To put it mildly, I'm an obsessive planner. It's just how my world turns.

I also like to plan ahead because we're spending Thanksgiving at my parents house this year and while I am seriously so pumped because it's my favorite place to visit, they don't have every single kitchen appliance in the world like me. So planning ahead gives me plenty of time to figure out that I need to buy a certain kind of attachment for the food processor to make Thanksgiving run smoothly.

My Thanksgiving menu is filled with flavorful California inspired dishes that will knock your socks off and depending on how much you eat, perhaps the button on your pants. But really, isn't Thanksgiving the reason they invented yoga pants? I'll be wearing spandex for sure. No questions asked.

Let's do it!

All that's missing is dessert - and that's coming next week!

  1. Soooo are you having guests over for Thanksgiving b/c I totally might hop on that next flight over to your casa for Thanksgiving this year 😉 the menu looks spectacular!

  2. Okay Gaby, seriously I want to come for dinner now. I think I'll take one of everything, and two helpings of that gorgeous stuffing. We tend to celebrate twice. I'm Canadian so we already had our Thanksgiving, but my thought is we're so close to the border it makes us unofficial Americans. It's just a ploy for more grub, but it works for me. xx
