The bird always gets main billing at the Thanksgiving table, but for me, it’s all about the sides. Next Thursday I’ll be filling my plate with roasted acorn squash, charred brussels sprouts, my dad’s famous cornbread stuffing, and mashed sweet potatoes (do you take yours with or without marshmallows?) Maybe I’ll leave a little room for the turkey if it gets lucky. This week I’ve been combing the web for the ultimate Thanksgiving side dish recipes; to qualify, they’ve got to be relatively simple (there’s too much going on that day for complicated recipes!) and give a firm nod to tradition while still having a little something that makes them feel special. Without further ado, our ultimate guide to Thanksgiving sides… and I’d love to hear in the comments which one you’re most looking forward to gobbling up this year!
