Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Our family takes great joy in my sister's perfectly cooked turkey and her rolls made from my grandmother's from scratch recipe (Lorraine Wilson Holt).  When we have these at our table, Thanksgiving is complete!

Our side dishes generally compose of the following: homemade noodles, dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and corn.  Standard fare by most Thanksgiving dinners, I would assume.

This list of Thanksgiving side dishes will give you a lot to think about, as it has our own family.  This year we are looking forward to cornbread dressing, brussels sprouts and bacon, and bourbon cranberry sauce!  Spreading our wings and learning to fly!


Even our green bean casserole is getting a make over!  I'd love to know your favorite Thanksgiving side dish, and where I might be able to find the recipe, even if that means putting a link in your comment!

    Smart ideas. Garlic mashed potatoes is what my boys love, and also the Three Cheese Cauliflower Gratin these would be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner.
