What special sides are you planning for thanksgiving?

Thank you for the pie recipe!

Side dishes are always interesting to make.
This year I am making a nice banana salad.
So simple;
Cut bananas in to wheels.

Add strawberry flavoured yogurt and mix carefully.
Make just before serving to avoid blackening of the fruit.

Also,
My family likes a potato salad, so I am making some this year as a side item, and for sweets, here is a very special recipe for you to try;

Granny’s sweet dumpling pudding

Dumplings;
250 ml cake flour
10 ml baking powder
2 ml salt
50 ml margarine/butter
1 egg
100 ml milk

Sauce:

500 ml boiling water
25 ml margarine / butter
cinnamon sugar

Sift dry ingredients together. Rub 50 ml margarine in tot until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Beat eggs and milk together, stir in to flour mixture in until soft dough. Add milk if needed. Heat water en 25 ml margarine until boiling point. Put spoonfuls of dough in to water. Cover with lid and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift lid while dumplings are cooking

    Sweet Potato Casserole

    Topping-

    3/4 cup brown sugar

    Every year no matter were I go or if I host my family demands me to make sweet potato balls here is the recipe.

    Ingredients
    4 large sweet potatoes
    2/3 cup packed brown sugar
    2 tablespoons orange juice
    1 teaspoon orange zest
    1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 large marshmallow per potato ball
    Directions
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, zest and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, toss the coconut with the sugar and cinnamon. Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow, creating a 2 to 3-inch diameter ball. Roll the balls in the coconut mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully for the last few minutes of cooking; the expanding marshmallows can cause the potato balls to burst open
