This Apple Pecan Stuffing recipe is a delicious blend of buttery bread cubes, apples, and pecans. An old family favorite.
These easy Gruyere Popovers are a fluffy, cheesy bread and only made with 5 ingredients. All you need is a popover pan.
The noodles in this Bacon Crusted Beer Mac & Cheese are bathed in a cheesy beer sauce topped with a bacon crust.
Simple Rosemary Roasted Carrots are guaranteed to impress if you use heirloom or rainbow carrots. Aren’t they beautiful?!
This beautiful Roasted Fall Vegetable Orzo is easy to make and full of rich roasted flavors. It’s also vegan for those Thanksgiving guests who don’t eat turkey :).
Instead of the traditional mashed potatoes, try Loaded Mash Potato Bake. Everything is better with bacon!
Duchess potatoes are a beautiful way to serve mashed potatoes. You can even make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven on Thanksgiving day!.
Who needs pumpkin pie when you have Pumpkin Ravioli with Hazelnut Brown Butter Sauce and Balsamic Drizzle. This side is sweet and savory. The balsamic drizzle compliments the sweetness perfectly. If you don’t want to hand roll your pasta I use this pasta attachment for my KitchenAid mixer and I love it! I also use this awesome ravioli mold.
I couldn’t resist this one. This Pancetta and Porcini Potato Gratin is overflowing with Gruyere (my favorite cheese) and pancetta. I love this simple white au gratin dish, it goes with everything!
Bitter and sweet make this Maple Roasted Endive a perfect combination. You could replicate the recipe with carrots or parsnips, too!
Be creative when cutting up your vegetables! This Roasted Squash Blossom is breathtaking and tastes as good as it looks. Making your food more visually appealing helps with those picky eaters. Depending on what vegetable you use a mandolin can make this so much easier!
Add some spice to your corn casserole. This Sweet & Spicy Corn Pudding gets its spice from sweet peppers and bold jalapenos.
You can’t have Thanksgiving without sweet potatoes. These Twice Backed Sweet Potatoes have a gorgeous presentation, sure to impress any guest coming over for dinner. Make sure to use this mat for easy clean up when baking those sweet potatoes.
Talk about color! How fantastic will this look on your table next to your turkey? Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without having mashed potatoes, but why not try Mashed Purple Sweet Potatoes or purple potatoes.

Thanks for linking up to Motivation Monday!
Amazing! Thank you for such a wonderful list 🙂
I was actually thinking of not making my mash potatoes this year…we will see if they make the list…
I found a side that I am definitely making though. Instead of green bean casserole (which never turns out right for me) I make green beans with mushrooms, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Sounds like it will be one of those simple and satisfying dishes. Thanks for these beautiful ideas!!! Foun you at G’day.
Wow, this is a Pinner’s Paradise! I’m having fun.
I think the blossom is the best. 🙂
It’s so pretty, I wouldn’t even want to eat it.
What a great collection! Yum!
Hello beautiful ladies! This looks so amazing. Pinned. Thank you for taking the time to stop by! I hope to see you at our party tonight, it starts at 7 pm. We love to party with you!
Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls
