Change up your thanksgiving menu this year with these delicious, non-traditional Thanksgiving recipes. I’ll admit, through all of my years of celebrating Thanksgiving, I don’t think I’ve ever had a classic thanksgiving meal. Partly because we keep a kosher house and don’t mix meat with dairy foods, but also because I love bringing new dishes to the table.
These non-traditional Thanksgiving recipes use seasonal vegetables and are some of my fall favorites. They’ll bring new flavors to your holiday table, while still offering that cozy, holiday dinner feel.
You’ll find Thanksgiving (or weekday!) dinner inspiration including main dishes, sides, and apps. These recipes are all simple to make, and a perfect way to add some nutritious flavor to your meal.
