Hello , just dropping by to say you have a great selection for thanks giving, although we do not celebrate it here in Australia, I love the look of your squash blossom, how clever.
They all look amazing, I bet they’d be perfect for any dinner…I don’t even think they need turkey served with them!
I’ve never seen purple potatoes, and I’m looking foward to Thanksgiving.
This is an amazing round up! I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year, so this will definitely come in handy! Yum! Pinned!
What a beautiful collection! I don’t think I’d even need any turkey with all these as options! Pinning!
I agree!

I love bacon mac and cheese. Yours sounds yummy!
Wow! What an amazing collection of sides.
They would all be so good with other entrees, right?
I am participating in the party as wee- Fall Mantels.
Enjoyed visiting,
Laura
I totally agree Laura, some of them could totally stand all on their own!
Yum! What fun ideas to add to the Thanksgiving table. My daughter’s favorite color is purple…those purple potatoes might just work!
So many yummy ideas! that loaded backed potato side dish is calling my name… it would also be good for dinner just by itself!
Wow – there are some wonderful ideas here…And a few I might try this season! Thanks for sharing…
Pumpkin Ravioli Yummy! Pinned It!

What a great roundup! Pinning…I think we’ll be picking a few new ones to try for the Thanksgiving holiday! Thanks for linking it up with us at Foodie Fridays!
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!
