I''ve got some time today, so I am thinking about what is going to be on the Thanksgiving menu...this year the family is gathering at our house.
My Mom always gets an organic Turkey from Whole Foods so that is taken care of. I am permanently charged with making mashed potatoes, but this year I am thinking of shaking it up a bit and adding some new ingredients...I will still make the ''original'' in a smaller batch for my sister who adores it and waits for it every year. Our pies are coming from a new bakery this year, actually a very old bakery that is near our house that is raved about by locals. That reminds me, guess I should put the order in for pies today too.
But I need some assistance on SIDE DISHES. We try to do a few new things every year so that people don''t get bored....so I''m on the look out for some interesting side dishes.
Anyone have some good recipes? Nothing TOO elaborate as I''m not the world''s best chef....
