What are your go to Thanksgiving side dishes?

litlmermd

I have to bring something to my parents for Thanksgiving.  I was going to do corn cassarole (which everyone LOVES) but my step-cousin decided to make it.  What do you make that's easy and that everyone enjoys?  We decided to nix the green bean cassarole this year because it was getting old...we need something new!!!

 

ps-my mom is a vegetarian, so I need to try to stay veg friendly.

I am doing macaroni and cheese for the first time.  My aunt is bringing spinach casserole.  I generally hate casseroles though but everyone else in the south loves them.

This salad went over really well when I made it for Thanksgiving. I just thinly sliced pears, rather than serving each person half a pair.

Either candied yams/sweet potatoes (you know the marshmallow one), stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole are the only things I eat with my thanksgiving dinner.

One that I love is baked apples - it's easy, fast, and not seen on everyone's table.  Peel and cut a bunch of apples (I like to mix different kinds), and put in a glass baking dish.  Add cinnamon and brown sugar, and a tiny bit of water at the bottom (just enough to cover the bottom of the dish).  Bake covered until soft (anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on how big you cut your apples.  It can be changed easily by adding different things like nuts, spices, honey, etc.

Ditto on the roasted brussels sprouts.  Last year I made green beans sauteed with garlic with shaved parm on top.  Super good.

I'm pretending I didn't see this.

The two dishes named above both have Cheese Whiz in them and they are great.

Don't hate on the whiz, yo.

Roasted brussel sprouts with a little shallot, balsamic vinegar and goat cheese are unreal.

Is there a recipe for this amazing sounding dish?

I want this recipe too.  I am bringing baked butternut squash to Thanksgiving with butter and brown sugar.

Mashed Sweet Potatos with Marshmallows on top

Peel and chop 4-6 sweet potatos boil until fork tender

Blend with butter, milk and brown sugar to taste

Pour in a 8x8 or 9x9 glass casserol dish cover top with large marshmallows. (make sure to allow enough room in the pan for them to puff up)

Bake in oven at 350 until marshmallows  are golden brown.

Always a hit here.

This is what I was going to suggest as well.

Roasted cauliflower.  Nobody else brings it, it goes great with Thanksgiving, and everyone LOVES it!
