Sides that Steal the Show

Let’s be honest — everyone remembers the sides on Thanksgiving. These are the dishes that bring warmth, color, and nostalgia to the table. I love a mix of something creamy, something green, and something roasted for balance. These five are incredibly reliable, easy to prep ahead, and guaranteed to round out your Thanksgiving table beautifully.

Boursin Mashed Potatoes

Ultra-creamy and packed with herby Boursin flavor. These potatoes are velvety smooth and pair perfectly with turkey and gravy. You can make them earlier in the day and warm gently before serving.


Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

A cozy classic. Yukon gold potatoes mashed with butter and sour cream for a tangy, rich finish. This is the nostalgic bowl of creamy comfort everyone goes back for seconds of.



Green Beans with Bacon

Crisp-tender green beans tossed with smoky bacon and a little garlic. They’re savory, simple, and add a pop of freshness to the plate. A great break from heavier dishes.



Maple Roasted Carrots

Roasted until caramelized and tender, then finished with a buttery maple glaze. These bring sweetness and color to the table and reheat beautifully.


Brioche Stuffing

Pillowy brioche cubes baked with onion, celery, herbs, and broth until golden on top and soft inside. It’s rich, comforting, and absolutely holiday-worthy — the kind of stuffing people talk about long after dinner.
