Special Recipes for Your Hannukah and Thanksgiving Feast

BigOven offers advice for home cooks juggling the intersection of two holidays

SEATTLE, Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — This year, combined Hanukkah-Thanksgiving recipes are everywhere, as people celebrate the alignment of two major holidays.  In 2013, the second night of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 28.)  Some are referring to this year's unique Hanukkah-Thanksgiving crossover as "Thanksgivukkah."  Thanksgivukkah will not happen again for 70,000 years, so BigOven's editorial team encourages home cooks to embrace the meeting of these holidays by combining scrumptious ingredients to make new creations.

Try latkes with Thanksgiving flair. Potatoes take center stage at Hanukkah dinner and provide a tasty side dish at the Thanksgiving feast. Cook potato latkes Thanksgiving-style by using fall vegetables found at the Thanksgiving table.

More traditional families may enjoy garnishing potato latkes with a festive Thanksgiving topping.

While latkes and turkey make a beautiful pairing, it's these fall sides that will really make your meal shine.

Neither Hanukkah nor Thanksgiving is complete without satisfying one's sweet tooth.

Finish the meal with these delectable desserts.

BigOven offers fully customizable pre-made Thanksgivukkah menus that cooks can add to a menu planner and grocery list, then take to the store. Mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, NOOK and Windows Phone allow cooks complete access to their recipe collection at the store, making planning for both holidays a seamless task.
