Ah, Thanksgiving! My favorite day of the year – a time for gratitude, togetherness, and of course, the glorious feast! While the Thanksgiving turkey often takes the spotlight, let’s be real, it’s the sides that truly steal the show. From creamy mashed potatoes to savory stuffing and all the delectable dishes in between, the sides are where the magic happens! I put all of my favorite Thanksgiving sides all in one place to make things even easier for you! Let’s dive in.
There's nothing better to me than a huge salad with fresh ingredients from the farmers market! This Fall Farmers Market Salad is filled with the best produce this season has to offer.
Persimmon Burrata Salad is the perfect fall harvest salad for kids and adults alike. Fresh fruits mixed with greens and an irresistible dressing for a holiday or special night with friends.

Tossing the squash in cinnamon and maple syrup and putting it back in the oven for a few minutes adds a heavenly sweet flavor to this already delicious fall vegetable making it super kid-friendly!
Roasting is one of the best techniques for getting the maximum amount of flavor out of vegetables. They become super tender, sweet on the inside and a bit caramelized on the outside.
This Orange Glazed Carrots recipe takes regular sautéed carrots to the next level! My entire family is in love with this recipe and gets so excited when I say I'm making them.

Sweet and sour squash might not be your first thought for a Thanksgiving side, but I promise it pairs well with everything! So delicious and easy to make.
My favorite part of our Thanksgiving meal is the stuffing. We’ve made it a ton of ways over the years and each recipe is just as delicious as the last! Whether you prefer cornbread stuffing or regular crusty bread stuffing, I’ve got you covered!
