Mom’s Thanksgiving Recipes

Nicollette Balassanian/ Leave a Comment/ 2613

Ever wonder what it would be like to have Giada de Laurentiis or Bobby Flay prepare your Thanksgiving dinner? Well, Thanksgiving with my mom sure comes close! Mom’s always been a foodie, and loves sharing her homemade gourmet cuisine with her family and guests. You won’t see canned cranberry sauce, powder-whipped mash potatoes, or plain old green bean casserole served at her table. So I’m bringing some of her crowd pleasers to help spice up your Thanksgiving dinner this year! grapes_006
