28 Thanksgiving Side Dishes.

Update. For Thanksgiving this year, I have expanded this great collection to 28 recipes for even more delicious ideas to make your Turkey Day celebrations even better.

No matter where or when you celebrate the holiday, Thanksgiving side dishes are part of the entire celebration and part of family traditions all over Canada and the US.

Here in Canada , we celebrate over a month earlier than our American cousins, which I’ve always been a bit grateful for.

Here in Canada we don’t have that nagging stress that we should be headed to the mall after dinner to start Christmas shopping instead of napping on the couch. Canada could gold medal on post turkey couch naps! I volunteer to be team captain.

Whether we celebrate the holiday mid October or late November, we all could use a few more suggestions for terrific side dishes for our Thanksgiving feasts.
