Amy's Nutritarian Kitchen: Thanksgiving Sides

Have you finished making your Thanksgiving menu yet? Come on buddy! Get on it!

There is still time and more than enough ideas for you in the blogosphere! I thought I would give you guys a list of some of my recipes to help give you some ideas.

This is a series of posts, so stay tuned for the main dish and dessert posts to come! See the appetizer and salad posts here.

Now on to my favorite part of Thanksgiving! The sides! My favorite sides are usually potatoes. In recent years my favorite side has been baked sweet potatoes. They are easy, simple, sweet, and delicious! To roast sweet potatoes preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the sweet potatoes and poke several times with a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on a pan lined with foil and place in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning halfway though, until tender.

For some other side ideas try one of these recipes:

Nutty Green Bean Casserole

Roasted Brussels Sprout s

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Apples and Walnuts

Creamed Kale and Onions

Colcannon with Kale

Along with these sides, a soup is another side that is warming, delicious, and easy to make on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or in a pressure cooker.
