Thanksgiving-Featured (1)

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to practice gratitude and count your blessings. In years past, your celebrations were probably larger than they will be this year, which used to mean an extensive menu for the extended family. Even though this year’s feast may be smaller, we can still be thankful for those near and far.

Our Publix Aprons® team is known for creating the most delicious recipes, so they provided us with the best recipes for your smaller Thanksgiving celebration this year. These recipes are on the simpler side, so you can grab the little ones and get them involved. A little bit of time spent helping in the kitchen can lead to memories that last forever. From smaller entrees and sides to easy-to-make appetizers and desserts, you’re in for delicious eats that will leave you with fewer dishes to clean (now, that’s something to be thankful for).

    Awesome options, I had tried a variant of the bacon-wrapped green beans, by using asparagus, this is worth a try too.
    And of course prosciutto-wrapped dates, I forgot about this one, going to try it again, most likely this weekend 😀
