Thanksgiving and Peanut Butter: A Match Made in Flavor Heaven

Thanksgiving is next week, which means it’s officially every foodie’s favorite time of the year! November also happens to be Peanut Butter Lovers Month, which we think is far from a coincidence. This year, we’re celebrating by taking a look at some sweet and savory peanut-inspired spins on some Thanksgiving classics.

Let’s get cookin’!

Dinnertime

From the turkey all the way to the pumpkin pie, we all know that Thanksgiving is a holiday that’s all about tradition. While we believe that sticking to tradition is important, we wanted to explore some recipe options that offered something new. Who knows — maybe this will inspire some all new traditions!

This take on the Thanksgiving staple introduces a whole new blend of Thai-inspired flavors that you may not have previously associated with holiday sides including coconut, tamari sauce, and, of course, peanut butter. You can find the full list of ingredients and instructions here.
