This time of year is all about giving thanks and connecting with family and friends old and new. Energetic mornings coupled with fun-filled dinners and cozy evenings with loved ones are reminiscent of the last time everyone was able to gather together. Perhaps it was over the summer, maybe even in Grand Haven. Bring those feelings of fresh summer days into your home this holiday season with these blueberry inspired Thanksgiving recipes:
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH BLUEBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Make your salad stand out on November 24th by combining seasonal flavors such as butternut squash and pumpkin with our tart and tangy Blueberry Balsamic Garlic Vinaigrette. A versatile dressing, it can also be used as a wonderful meat marinade and a delicious addition to cocktails and desserts! SEE RECIPE
