Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Hi Everyone,

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week?  Time is going way to quickly.  I can’t seem to catch up.  The summer flew by and now I am thinking of Christmas.  I don’t even have a clue on what to get everyone for Christmas. But let’s take one holiday at a time, right?  I have to be honest with you, Thanksgiving is one of my least favorite holidays.  I spend all day in the kitchen cooking, yet you sit down to eat and it’s over in a matter of minutes.  It doesn’t seem worth all the hassle, especially when it is just my Husband and I. This year I plan on making a simple meal, with all the trimmings, but not making it to complicated.  Today I thought I would share with you some healthy Thanksgiving side dishes.  I have a few new ones I want to make before Thanksgiving, so I better get off my butt and start cooking.

Bread:

Apple, Walnut, Sage and Cranberry Stuffing (I love stuffing!)

Cornbread and Apple Sage Stuffing

Cajun Cornbread Stuffing

Cheesy Crescent Rolls (so easy)

Easy Dinner Rolls

Cranberry Sauces:

Cranberry Mango Sauce

Cranberry, Pear and Rosemary Chutney

Vegetables:

Steamed Orange Asparagus

Lemon and Garlic Green Beans

Baked Delicata Squash with Pomegranate and Goat Cheese

Butternut Squash with Wild Rice

Sweet and Spicy Squash

Roasted Butternut Squash

Brussels Sprouts with Fresh Cranberries

Fall Harvest Brussels Sprouts

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Apples

Orange Brussels Sprouts

Honey Glazed Roasted Carrots (blog favorite)

Maple Glazed Roasted Carrots

Cheesy Baked Corn (You may want to double this recipe, it’s so good and easy)

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Scalloped Potatoes in Crockpot (Family favorite)

These are my favorite recipes for the Thanksgiving holiday.  I actually love the side dishes more than the main meal.  I’m not to big about the turkey.  Maybe this year Ill make a beef roast?

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer
