Author Your Holiday Inspiration Guru | November 18, 2020

What's the point of a perfectly roasted Thanksgiving turkey if you don't have a delicious arrangement of sides to accompany it!? From cranberry chutney to mashed potatoes, we're sharing our favorite Thanksgiving sides and casseroles to help you prepare for your feast. We've even added some healthier alternatives that your guests will appreciate.

From Thanksgiving classics to modern twists, we know you'll find a recipe (or two!) you and your family will love.

Roasted Veg Mac and Cheese

This mac and cheese isn’t just for the kids! Freshly grated cheese is key to achieving a creamy and delicious sauce. If you need to “hide” the veggies from your kiddos, cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces when prepping.
