This Thanksgiving was the busiest day ever for Instagram, as people all over the country shared photographs from their holiday celebrations. We asked readers using Garden & Gun recipes to tag their posts #ggthanksgiving. From pecan pie to day-after gumbo, the mouth-watering photos came rolling in. Here are ten of our favorites. Thank you to everyone who participated and we'll see you around the dinner table at Christmas.
