It's here!
One week until our big food holiday. I love Thanksgiving week, although this year I'm determined to give myself some intentional rest time. While packing up our entire house. Should go well.
We're going to one Thanksgiving at each our our families' houses, and usually the "grown ups" aka our dads make turkeys and a few other side dishes, and all the big kids (us and our over-30 sibs) take side dishes.
Whether you're crafting an entire menu or just making a side dish or two, here are my absolute favorite dishes for this week and next.
I've included allergen/dietary info for most of these so that if you're looking for a "type" of recipe (gluten free vegan, for example), you can scroll through and find something that works for you. Enjoy!
