7 Thanksgiving Sides That Steal the Show!
|
Hi Reader, Thanksgiving is just a week away, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already planning your plate strategy (a little bit of everything, heavy on the sides—am I right?). This year, I’ve rounded up my top 7 most popular side dishes to make sure your table is loaded with deliciousness. Why 7? Because it’s my favorite number, of course! (And because these recipes are just that good.) Here's the lineup: #1 - Candied Sweet Potatoes - Sweet, buttery, and downright dreamy. A must-have side! #2 - Air Fryer Carrots - Healthy-ish, caramelized perfection. Your air fryer’s about to earn its spot in the kitchen. #3 - Creamy Air Fryer Mac and Cheese - Comfort food just got faster and creamier. #4 - Pressure Cooker Collard Greens - The most flavorful greens. #5 - Creamy Oven Baked Mac and Cheese - Yep, TWO mac and cheese recipes—because you can never have enough. #6 - Soft Air Fryer Dinner Rolls - Perfectly fluffy and begging to be slathered in butter. #7 - Gravy (made without drippings) - No drippings? No problem. This flavorful gravy is the answer. From buttery rolls to two (yes, two!) mac and cheeses, these recipes have you covered. Just promise me you’ll save room for dessert—okay? Happy cooking, and here’s to a holiday full of good food and great company. |
