Just another vote to please make the pic’s ckickable, or at least labeled, or do pic then link, something.
Love the recipes and appreciate the round up! Have you ever thought of doing a holiday meal plan round-up? I mean, something so that you can reuse the same ingredients across dishes or like the online book with like a “buy these groceries and you can make all the things!” Also would be really helpful.
P.S. bought your book and loved it!!!
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
Great suggestions! Will consider those for next year!
Ellie says
Thank you for all the holiday gatherings cooking suggestions ! Love this post!
Barbara McBlain says

Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
Thanks Barbara! We do plan to work on another, yes!

Ditto!! (or at least have the pix labeled — even if just while hovering with the mouse — so it’s easier to know when looking at them what they are.) Keep up the great work and happy Thanksgiving!
