This year will be my very first Thanksgiving in the US ever and I am pretty excited about it, I have heard so much about this tradition! I have always loved friends and family gatherings around a huge table full of dishes, it’s to me the best way to celebrate any occasion and I can spend several hours in a row sitting still while enjoying my food and my company. I know I’m crazy!
As more and more are vegetarians nowadays, I put together a few vegetarian recipes from the blog that will be perfect on your Thanksgiving table. They all use seasonal ingredients always expected on the Thanksgiving menu (sweet potatoes, pumpkins, apples…), and you can easily double or triple the recipe if needed.

Bonjour Delphine. Vous faites de superbes recettes (belles et certainement délicieuses). Néanmoins dans l’ensemble elles sont beaucop trop sucrées pour moi ( même les salées lol). Donc ce sera seulement de manière ponctuelle!

Bonjour Sasa! Je comprends, pas toujours facile quand on doit faire attention à son apport en sucre. Je vous conseille d’aller faire un tour du côté de mes recettes “Healthy” cependant, beaucoup d’entre elles n’ont pas de sucre (pour tous les plats salés quasiment) ou en tout cas pas voire peu de sucre raffiné (pour les desserts) : http://www.delscookingtwist.com/category/recipes-recettes/healthy-recipes-recettes/
