    One could almost forget about the Turkey with all these great sides! Great collection, almost enough for a cook book (hint, hint) 🙂 . I can’t wait to see what Monday brings! Take care!

    Everything looks so good. I especially like your Brussel sprouts made with the bacon and cranberries versus a cream sauce. I am definitely trying it out! Great recipes!

    Oh I could JUST eat side dishes for Thanksgiving, so I am totally digging this round up, Annie!! Everything just looks amazingly delicious. But, I won’t lie, as soon as I saw those Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives again I wanted to shove my head through my computer screen and right into that bowl. 🙂 I could live in those mashed taters. Pinning this round up!! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us on Monday… hmmm dessert?? Have a fabulous weekend, dear friend! Cheers! xo

    Love this roundup of Thanksgiving sides, Annie! While I do love the turkey, I think the sides are what makes the meal. And all of these delicious dishes look amazing! I’ve got to try that cauliflower and caramelized butternut squash, YUM!
