Recipe Roundup: Thanksgiving Side Dishes

The turkey is the centerpiece, but the sides are the star of the show. This week’s Recipe Roundup: Thanksgiving Side Dishes showcase my favorite side dishes for the holiday.

Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, the best food holiday of the year. Growing up, we spent every Thanksgiving at a family friend’s house, and there was food for days.

For me, the sides were such an important part of the meal. Yes, I was one of those kids who would only eat the marshmallows on the candied sweet potatoes, but I would fill up on the macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole, and dessert. 

So enough talking…let’s get right to Recipe Roundup: Thanksgiving sides

MUSHROOM WILD RICE PILAF

This savory dish has so many wonderful flavors of the season! It’s easy to make and perfectly complements your turkey, game hens, chicken and more.
