What’s for Dinner? Thanksgiving Sides

One of these years I would like to do Thanksgiving dinner with nothing but side dishes.

No turkey, no tofurkey, no turducken, no honking big protein on a giant platter in the middle of the table.

Maybe dessert but mostly the sides:
​
  • Potatoes, maybe even two kinds.
  • ​Stuffing (or do you say dressing?)​
  • Many different vegetables dressed up in the most delightful ways.

That right there is the good stuff, so bring it on and let's get thankful!

It’s never going to happen though, there are too many traditionalists in my family. 
​
​I do manage to sneak a new dish into the repertoire from time to time.

These look like some good contenders. Click the links for recipes.
