Thanksgiving only comes but once a year and that is just not enough for me to get my cranberry fill. I SERIOUSLY can’t wait to try your version of the sauce.

Thanks for all the ideas for next year!

What a great interpretation of the American tradition. The pumpkin dessert is just absolutely fabulous looking! Congrat on a job well done.

Another beautiful meal! Great 24, 24, 24 post. Salt and sumac sweet potato chips? I’m so there. Pomegranate Brussels sprouts? Something new.

This was such an interesting post. I’ll have to try those sumac-spiced potatoes. And you are very cool to tailor the meal to be gluten-free for your friend!

I used cardamom in my pumpkin pie too. Great minds think alike! I’ve never had harissa but keep seeing it pop up on the web. I’m so curious now. Your menu looks fabulous. Great job!

What a delicious and resourceful meal! What great ideas. I love Harissa and think it’s a perfect compliment for turkey. Wonderful ideas, photos, and writing.

Thanks for sharing!

As usual, amazing photos. The pumpkin looks almost marzipan-like. And tahini mashed potatoes are a very creative twist.

Great post, and excellent photos. I’m already craving another Thanksgiving…

Thanks Mike! Nice job on your 24 post!

HoneyB thanks:-) Give them a try!

Thanks Reeni! If you don’t feel like using a whole turkey, try it with a chicken. I’m also thinking it would work on a lamb roast as well.

Thanks Manggy, the cranberry sauce post is up:-)

Thanks Jaden, I already have an idea for next year…

Maybelles Mom thanks!

Thanks Peter, I hope I’m able to top it next year:-)

Heather, thanks! I’ve looked through quite a few thanksgiving posts at this point, but yours was the most envy inspiring. I did blur the food lines a bit with North Africa but the flavors work pretty well together.

Thanks Noobcook:-)

Grace thanks, but there were some hiccups. Thankfully it all came together in the end.

Thanks Peter, too bad you weren’t here a week later, you could have joined us;-)

Lori Lynn, I’m not much a cranberry sauce fan either, but I think the trick is to give it some depth as well as another a taste beyond the sweet and sour thing it has going on.

Aggie, I’m a real convert now and am thinking of other ways I can add brussel sprouts into my repertoire.

Thanks Joie de vivre. Nice job on your post as well, your kids are adorable!

Hugging the Coast, thanks for the link!
