Gobble Up the Goodies: Thanksgiving Sips and Sides
As we gather this month to celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s raise a glass to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives, especially the gift of family. This season offers a joyful blend of flavors where sips and sides add a special touch to the festivities, filling the table with warmth and cheer.
While the turkey is the star of the Thanksgiving meal, the side dishes often steal the show! Those traditional classics like stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, candied yams, cranberry sauce, and the ever-famous green bean casserole will soon be returning to holiday tables.
Fun fact - mashed potatoes is ranked as the most popular side in the country, and sweet potato casserole with marshmallows the most popular in New York state. You probably have a favorite too, that “must-have'' dish that evokes fond childhood memories of past Thanksgiving celebrations. Is there a dish in your rotation you aren’t crazy about, and if there is, now might be the time for a side swap! Check out these delicious recipes for some inspiration for your holiday feast.
