Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means food galore! Stuffing those plates doesn’t mean you have to be unbuckling those pants. Whether your hosting or going to a friendsgiving, or just bringing something to the traditional family meal. These recipes will be a little easier on the waistline and not to mention impress those guests!

Hiiii guys! Wow it’s been a few weeks since my last post. And you probably already know it’s because I got MARRIED! 🙂 … and then Nick and I went on our honeymoon in Maui, which was amazing!!! I can’t wait to share all the detes with you guys.

But for today, were sticking to Thanksgiving! I can’t believe it’s already November, and only 2 weeks until one of the best holidays, no less!

I’m trying to plan a first annual friendsgiving this year, but timing and schedules are making it nearly impossible! I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

If you’re planning your very own friendsgiving or just trying to think what you can bring to your family’s thanksgiving, here’s 14 different ideas, sorted by dish!

P.s. – I’ve made nearly all of these recipes over the past few years, so I can safely say you’ll be satisfied with any you choose! Enjoy!
