I can see the smiles on all of the Canadian food blogger faces as they read frantic south-of-the-border blogs prepping for Thanksgiving. They have already been relieved of the stress of celebrated Thanksgiving and are even well past the leftovers. But here in the U.S., the big event is lurking around the corner, and perhaps, just perhaps, some of those menus are not completely set. For those of you who need some last minute inspiration, or for anyone mulling over menus for other upcoming holiday meals, I have a few links that will surely help out:

The Big List of Dairy-Free Thanksgiving Recipes - We compiled this last year, but recipes are never outdated. If you are planning ahead for the next event, see out Holiday Dinners Recipe List. And just in case you missed it, here is our Huge Holiday Pie Post.

Whole Foods Dairy-Free Holiday Recipes - It is about time this mega-natural food company gets on the dairy-free bandwagon.
