Thanksgiving Recipes

Let's face it. We'd all love to be able to serve up Thanksgiving recipes like a Food Network star, but the reality is that we tend to stick to the tried and true recipes that we've experienced in our own families over the years. If you think you can get away with serving things like Orange Thanksgiving Soup or Warm Thanksgiving Salad of Clams, Mussels, and Mushrooms, then by all means, head on over to the Food Network to pull that off.

My family, however, would scream if they weren't served a Thanksgiving dinner that felt like tradition, so I hope you enjoy trying some of these Thanksgiving holiday recipes. Most are classic Thanksgiving dishes while others are a little out of the norm, but all are sure to please your pickiest eaters.
