November is the month when a family’s favorite holiday occurs: Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a holiday where we show our loved ones just how grateful we are for them. We express our gratitude towards others and reminisce on family memories. This holiday causes us to reflect on our past and remember the amazing memories we made with others. 

Everyone is making plans with family and friends to spend the holidays together. For some, Thanksgiving is the only day in the whole year when long-distance families get to see each other. That night, the whole table is filled with plates of amazing food that was prepared. However, planning what to make for dinner on Thanksgiving night can be tough sometimes since there are so many amazing side dishes to choose from. 

Most families already have the main dish which is typically meat like turkey, chicken, or ham.  However, families usually have a hard time choosing what to make for their side dishes. There are so many side dishes that you could choose from but there are a few side dishes that families cook all around the world. The most common sides are mashed potatoes, green bean casseroles, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and sweet potatoes. These sides are chosen for a reason. Creamy mashed potatoes and baked sweet potatoes pair perfectly with the meat. Green bean casseroles are delicious and also include veggies in the mix. Cranberry sauce is perfect for a juicy and sweet taste. Stuffing is great alone or it can be eaten with the whole feast.

There are also a few more you can choose from if you don’t find any of the other ones appetizing. Candied yams are a great choice that a lot of families prepare. Creamed corn and steamed brussel sprouts introduce yummy vegetables into the feast. Macaroni and cheese is a classic that kids and adults can enjoy. Last, but not least, some freshly baked bread rolls are a must-have. 

Thanksgiving is about showing love to the people you care for. What better way to show your gratitude than to prepare some tasty sides for everyone to enjoy? Ultimately all of these dishes are amazing and will satisfy your meal. These side dishes not only complement the main course but add all types of flavors to the meal. From the classic mashed potatoes to the savory green bean casserole, These sides enhance all types of traditions that your families have, making every Thanksgiving a memorable one.
