Can you please give me some good ideas for side dishes to have for Thanksgiving dinner?
This year is my first time cooking Thanksgiving dinner at my home. I would like it to be a memorable experience for my family but I am all out of ideas other then the usual turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes! I looked online for recipes but nothing seems to be easy! I don’t cook for myself, I eat takeout day and night so I really need dishes that wont be too difficult and ones that taste good. Thanks in advance,
Jessica
Baklava is made with walnuts or pistachio nuts…I looked it up, anyway can you substitute it with fruit? Sorry to sound so ignorant but cooking is not my thing!
Maple Glazed Carrots well that sounds yummy!
Green Bean Casserole is a good and easy dish, the one with the french cut green beans, cream of mushroom soup and those Frenchs’ french fried onions. Go to the store and look at the onion can and they will have a recipe.
Then on to sweet potatoes, you can just bake them and serve them with butter, or you can get the canned ones. mash them well, add butter and cream ( or milk) and a bit of brown sugar. bake and enjoy ( do NOT put marshmallows on top please)
Creamed Corn is easy, and there are some brands that come frozen in chubs, those you can just putinto the pot and cook. You can add some fresh black pepper and a bit of butter to taste.
Creamed SPinach is a tradition at my house. I make mine from scratch, but birds eye and green giant both make a very good creamed spinach also.
take a minute and get yourself a better homes and gardedn , southern living or some sort of women’s magazine, they are going to be loaded with recipes this time fo year. If you are a non cooker. then there’s nothing wrong with buying premade and just heating and adding your own seasoning..semi-homemade is accpetable. If you really cant step up and cook, then most local grocery stores have “meals” that you can buy precooked, just heat and eat at home. and you dont have to tell anyone either.
One thing that always helps a meal is good bread. again tradition at my house is pillsbury crescent rolls. just the smell of those bring me back to dinner at momma’s house.
good luck
