More Main Course Options
You really can't go wrong with adding this salmon to the menu (one of THE most popular salmon recipes online)
If you're going to have shrimp at your feast, it should be this one ;)
Kotleti (croquettes) usually show up during the holidays - Thanksgiving is no exception. These are so juicy!
Holiday Worthy Side Dishes
Go-to Creamy Mashed Potatoes (p.s. keep them warm in a slow cooker!)
Delicious and Easy Yukon and Sweet Potato Mash
Baked Asparagus - simple, healthy and delicious
Favorite Salads
Broccoli Apple Salad with Walnuts. Scrumptious.
My favorite (weird and wonderful) layered salad. A holiday must-have for our family.
The dressing on this one is crazy good. You can make the cabbage bell pepper salad ahead and mix in dressing before serving.
Fancy Extras
Marinated Mushrooms - easy and highly addictive. A favorite for sure!
Tasty make-ahead side dish: marinated mini bell peppers
No Knead Super Soft (EASY) Bread
Truly Special Desserts
The "Russian" version of Tiramisu. Classic!
Pumpkin Cheesecake
My Mother-in-laws Carrot Cake. YUM!!
Easy Desserts (for the baking impaired)
Someone (wish I knew who) brought this adorable turkey fruit platter to our church potluck. The body was an apple and you probably want to soak or brush it with lemon juice. Blueberries for the eyes and pineapple bits for the feet and beak. So stinking cute!!
EASIEST (soft and moist) Pumpkin Cake
