Jon Novello’s Pumpkin Dip
"Super easy and makes for an amazing pre- and post-meal treat. We usually make it early and then refrigerate it, and then bring it out when we are all in the kitchen cooking the big meal. It’s just yummy and fun to snack on while everyone is together."
Annie Grieg’s Holiday Crab Dip
“I’m a sucker for a super creamy dip at the holidays (and appetizers in general!) Crab makes me feel like it’s a special occasion, lol.”
TJ Hall's Plant Based Thanksgiving Entree
“Our holiday menu is fairly standard, but since we’re plant-based we always opt for a meatless ‘roast’ instead of turkey or ham. Field Roast and Gardein are two brands that I’ve had over the years, and both are quite tasty. "
