When we are invited to a holiday meal and especially when we’re hosting one, we can be tempted to do something over the top or make something really special. The truth is, most people are not analyzing every dish, and the important thing is being together. Additionally, especially when I’m hosting, I find that it’s hard for me to enjoy the company when I’m scurrying around making a bunch of complicated dishes.
It’s perfectly fine to keep it simple. Just because something is easy or simple to make doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious! Stick to the basics with these 10 easy Thanksgiving side dishes so you can truly enjoy the day with your family and friends.
10 Easy Thanksgiving Side Dishes
This is my favorite way to make mashed potatoes, and you don’t even need to measure everything. Just add the ingredients to your texture preference. These are delicious with your Thanksgiving turkey and gravy!
Mashed sweet potatoes
For mashed sweet potatoes, you’re going to do the same as with the regular potatoes. Add any seasonings you enjoy!
I thought I hated brussels sprouts until I tried them roasted as an adult. These are often on sale this time of year, making them a frugal option for a side dish.
