Thanksgiving Recipe Cards

Thanksgiving is the perfect occasion to start a family recipe card tradition. Each year, print cards for the dishes that made it onto the table — over time, you'll build a collection that tells the story of your family's holiday through food.

Which Cards to Create

• Turkey and gravy — Include roasting temperature, estimated cooking time per pound, and gravy recipe.
• Stuffing or dressing — This is often a family-specific recipe worth preserving.
• Mashed potatoes and sides — Green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce.
• Pies — Pumpkin, pecan, apple — each pie recipe deserves its own card.
• Family specialties — The dish only your aunt makes, the one everyone asks for.
