I think that side dishes have gotten a bad rap over the years. They tend to be last minute add-ons, things you don't really think about until you realize that you don't have any kind of vegetable to balance out your meal. So, you open a couple of cans of green beans and microwave them while you are putting the plates on the table. Then you feel guilty for not being Mrs. Cleaver. You don't want to do that, do you?

Of course not.

    Hey! This is a handy little list! I was a vegetarian for 10 years so, for me, Thanksgiving was all about the sides for many years.
