Most Thanksgiving dishes call for meal prep, so why not embrace a low-fuss, quick brunch to start the day? Our Cranberry Orange French Toast fits the bill—it’s baked, so every portion is ready at once, sparing you the time you’d spend over the stove with the traditional one-at-a-time flip-and-serve method. While it bakes, you’ll have time to clean up your prep dishes, get a head start on your mise en place for dinner, or simply take a breath before diving into the day.
These toasts make a great addition to any Thanksgiving appetizer spread! Registered Dietitian Desiree Nielsen loves having people over for a meal…but she’s also one of those people who actually wants to enjoy her guests instead of being stuck cooking while everyone else has fun! That’s why easy vegan entertaining recipes that taste good and come together quickly are her jam, like these super delicious Pumpkin Hummus Toasts with Za’atar.
Sure to delight vegans, flexitarians, and omnivores of all ages, this plant-based Thanksgiving recipe is a flavourful, deceptively filling, and stunning main to serve. With hearty, satisfying whole grains from Sprouted Organic Heritage Grain Big Red’s Bread™ and a balance of umami mushroom, bright fresh herbs, and sweet fresh apple, even the most committed omnivores will love this dish.
Part how-to, part recipe, and 100% scrumptious, this recipe has everything you need create a one-of-a-kind side that will have your family coming back for seconds! With simple steps and endless combinations of sprouted breads, fruits, veggies, proteins, herbs and spices, our Mix-and-Match Sprouted Bread Stuffing gives any home cook the power to make an easy and memorable Thanksgiving feast!
Serve it as a side, as a pre-dinner soup course, or as a fast, flavourful mid-day lunch. Whenever you ladle up our rustic, savoury Tuscan Bread Soup, you can serve it with a smile. Rich, tomatoey, and thickened with bread, this luxurious plant-based soup is like a food-love hug you can spoon from a bowl.
Leave mushy brussels sprouts and boring beige croutons in the past—this rustic salad lets simple ingredients shine! Hearty enough to serve as a main at a Thanksgiving table for two or as a stunning salad fit for a harvest table filled with family and friends, the contrast of textures in this delicious recipe will get your guests talking (between mouthfuls, of course!). Torn and toasted seasoned bread, candied pecans, tender sprouted spelt, earthy roasted brussels sprouts, crispy sliced apples, juicy cherry tomatoes, and fresh greens make every bite of this salad an adventure.
Don’t settle for canned cranberry sauce. This wow-worthy, made-from-scratch alternative is almost as easy, and will bring out the best in your seasonal spread. Super simple and quick to make, our Orange Cranberry Chia Relish will become a Thanksgiving Classic. (Try small-batch canning some to send to family and friends who can’t join your Thanksgiving feast).
This beloved combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice spreads warmth and joy in (almost!) every recipe it touches. Our Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding is inviting, easy to prepare, and secretly healthier than any other bread pudding recipe we’ve tried. We’re sure you’ll find this a rewarding way to end a Thanksgiving feast with family at home.
