Happy Virtual Thanksgiving

I’m so happy to be able to present this virtual feast today. I know that as the calendar turns to November many of us start to think about Thanksgiving. I thought this would be the perfect time to showcase an entire meal. Seven bloggers’ recipes are represented here through 37 pictures. Below each picture is a link that will take you to the recipe. From drinks and appetizer to dessert, we’ve got your whole meal covered. Welcome to a Virtual Thanksgiving.
