In just one week I’ll be breaking all my rules and boarding a flight on the busiest travel day of the year to spend Thanksgiving in New York with Conor’s family before he and I head to Copenhagen. Along with feeling lucky to spend the holidays with his family (they really are the best), I’m looking forward to a few days in NYC and to the six of us making Thanksgiving dinner! Here are some Thanksgiving Recipes to make this year. 

15 Thanksgiving Recipes To Make This Year

I’ve been talking about baking a pie for months and really hope I can pull it off. Back in college I thought 6 cups of confectioner’s sugar meant 6 cups of granulated sugar, so I wouldn’t say I’m naturally good at baking, but I’ve since learned about the different types of sugar. I’ve got this.

After scouring the internet for Thanksgiving recipes, I decided to compile a list of some of the ones I’m most excited about. Here we go.

Start the day off right with some carbs and sugar. These pumpkin pie cinnamon rolls should do it.
