Finally! I’ve been looking forward to this day for awhile! We’ve got some great dishes lined up to inspire you for a healthier, more nourishing Thanksgiving. I’d love to hear if you’re able to try any of these dishes – and what your family members thought. Thanks to everyone who submitted dishes for this Gallery – and for those of you who are going to add your links today. I’ll continue building the photo gallery of recipes throughout the day, as recipes are submitted. So be sure to check back to see what’s new! (See below the photo gallery for instructions on submitting your recipe.)

Do you have a real food Thanksgiving side dish recipe to share? If you’re a blogger, leave a link to the recipe’s blog post in the comments – and make sure your blog post links back to this post. Then I’ll add your recipe to the gallery. I’ll use a stockphoto if you don’t have a photo. If you’re not a blogger, but have a recipe to share, feel free to post the recipe in the comments – and I’ll link to it from the Gallery, too!

Wardeh—Everything looks so delicious! Can’t wait to check back later to see the whole gallery! My post and images are up and ready to be linked here. I hope it’s OK that I don’t actually have individual recipes set up, but simply descriptions within my post about how I’ll be making my dishes. If not, let me know. This is so fun!
Love,
Sonya

I am sharing my recipe for > brussel sprouts with bacon and onions. The best part, besides the taste!, is that all the ingredients can be sourced locally even if you live in a cold climate like I do!
