Thanksgiving weekend is upon us Canadians. While we have a hockey tournament on our 'menu' this year, I'll still be squeezing in a Thanksgiving celebration. Something fairly simple, not too overwhelming with side dishes, but still quite celebratory.
I plan to make my Festive Chickpea Tart for our main dish, and either roasted or mashed potatoes with Rosemary Gravy (new recipe in LTEV), and a fresh salad alongside.

For dessert, I'm either making my Pumpkin Pie Custards (also from LTEV) or Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream (also from LTEV, but recipe is now reposted!).

| Pureed Squash and Sweet Potato Soup |

| Chocolate Pumpkin Pie - oh yeah! |
And, if you aren't a pumpkin-y or chocolate-y dessert kind of person (do the two coexist?!!), here's another idea, my Gingered Pear Crisp?

As well, I'm reposting my entire Holiday Feast Menu. This is my traditional Christmas Day menu, and there are a number of dishes in there that might be just right for your Thanksgiving table.
So, here are all the specific recipe links:
As for the Rosemary Gravy and Pumpkin Pie Custard, you'll just have to wait until LTEV hits the shelves... there's always next Thanksgiving, and I'm telling you, they're worth the wait!
Finally, if you are still not quite fixed for Thanksgiving, and looking for more recipe options, check out the great collection of Thanksgiving recipes from Nava Atlas. She has compiled recipe contributions from different chefs and cookbook authors, so if my recipes don't suit your tastebuds, something on Nava's page surely will!
Happy Thanksgiving guys!

Wow. I almost want to celebrate the Canadian one with ya!! Most of the time I feel more Canadian than US statian anyhow!
Love the chickpea tart! I've got to try that for our TG this year.
Ginger Pear Crisp- I LOVE this!!!!!! I think it was the first crisp recipe I have ever made and... well, I should make it again!
OK, can I place an order for the chocolate pumpkin pie? Very nicely done!
Ginger Pear Crisp. Just what I needed since I am regrettably a last minute person. Thank you for rescuing me with this perfect recipe solution.

I am delighted to report that the Ginger Pear Crisp dish I made using your wonderful recipe was successful. Big time. I can’t believe how good it was since I usually don't get things right on the first try. Must have been your very excellent recipe instructions.

Rosemary, that's delightful news! Thanks for sharing, and more happy cooking...! :)
The chickpea tart is truly amazing. I didn't add the oatmeal nor cranberries, but it was still just great. My son is so-so with textures, so I blended it up with some vegan mushroom gravy and a bit of water and he at it like a thick soup. We ate it a bit more dignified, but certainly had to control how fast we gobbled it down. This is a keeper. The pumpkin ice cream is delightful, too. Looking forward to trying the other recipes. Much love to you, Dreena!!
