Every holiday I look forward to trying new, healthy and waist friendly recipes and re-inventing a few with my own twists. While I still have the usual cast of characters at my dinner table, I always throw in a few unexpected ones too. It's fun to add new dishes to refresh your meals and it's something special to look forward to. 

This year I've found so many wonderful recipes I have no idea I will ever chose. My list runneth over! Since I can't make all of these dishes myself, I'm sharing this wonderful roundup of 30 healthy, skinny and delicious Thanksgiving recipes with you!

    These all look so good! I'm never hosting Thanksgiving so I usually only get to bring one dish or so. It'll be so hard deciding what to make this year!

      That's why I like to have my own even if I go somewhere then I have the leftovers for days.

    All of those recipes sound soooooo good! This year I'm in charge of making sweet potatoes, stuffing and an appetizer. My sister, who is adamant about having Thanksgiving at her house, is a terrible host and so my mom and I basically have to bring everything but the turkey. Good thing I love to cook! I plan on making Paleo dishes and watching with joy when no one has a clue that what they are eating is healthy .
