  1. I’ve been debating adding baked macaroni and cheese to the list for our thanksgiving celebration and I think I may just make the switch! It is such a great dish and we all love it. Might as well add it in there!

  2. pinned this! I’m hosting Thanksgiving for the first time ever and although I will have some family favorites, I wanted to create my own memories and traditions. My husband loves asparagus so I’ll definitely have to make the garlic butter recipe.

    1. The asparagus is awesome! Best of luck and it is so exciting to create your own traditions.

  3. This is probably the most comprehensive post on Thanksgiving side dished I’ve seen yet! So many options… I appreciate how many of them are crock pot recipes. Being able to throw everything in there and let it cook is a life saver when trying to prepare all the Thanksgiving dishes.

  4. Great list!! I will surely be saving this for reference because it seems like the sides are always what gets me stumped on Thanksgiving…this list will take a lot of that pressure way! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Hi Crystal!
    I am definitely saving this list, you have no idea how much this is going to help me. This is gonna be the first time when I am gonna celebrate a truly American Thanksgiving dinner since I have moved from Europe and I really want to impress my friends. I am making a hell of a good roasted butternut squash.

    1. So excited for you Rally! Let me know how it goes and what you decide on.

  6. Wow, that’s a lot of side dishes recipes you suggested right there. I’m sure blog visitors will be jotting down a recipe or two for their thanksgiving party. As for me, I would be bookmarking this because I love to collect various recipes from different people. Thanks for sharing!

  7. I like that many of the food recipes here are friendly for vegetarians. I was just looking for references and recommendations of food to make for the family. The Sage and Cheddar Potato Gratin seems really delicious.

  8. I’ve just started looking up recipes. This is super helpful! Hmmm can’t wait for Thanksgiving 🙂
