Looking for Thanksgiving inspiration? These recipes will make sure your holiday dinner table is overflowing and your guests are happy!

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and you know what that means! We’re about to spend more time in our kitchens than we do all year. Have no fear! I’m here to help you decide which recipes are worth your time. This round-up highlights my favorite June Table recipes that are perfect for the holidays. This way you can focus on your loved ones without food worries. Let’s dive in!
Thanksgiving Breakfast
I am not one of those people who will tell you to skip breakfast in order to “save room” for the big meal. First of all, that’s a restrictive and disordered way of thinking and we don’t do that here. Second of all, it makes the entire day revolve around a meal that lasts for 30 minutes, max. Who wants to be hangry and irritable with your loved ones all day? Not me. Start your day off right with a satiating and delicious breakfast before the fam gets to work in the kitchen!

Thanksgiving Sides and Appetizers
Let’s be real. The turkey’s good and all, but the sides are the main event. I live for the mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, and deliciously warm bread. I especially love serving some light appetizers, like dips and cheeses, a couple hours before the main meal, so I’ve included some options for that as well.

You’ll find more classic options, such as pumpkin pie, alongside some fun less traditional ideas as well.
