Next Thursday, I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner by myself for the second time in my life (the first time I flew solo was five years ago, right when I was coming down with the flu). I'm still tweaking the menu, mentally debating whether I want to make standard mashed potatoes or find some oven space for the roasted variety.
For the rest of you who are still contemplating whether you want to serve string beans or green peas, here are a few more side dish suggestions for you to contemplate. These all come from the Slashfood archives, which is a terrific resource when you're looking for mealtime inspiration.
From top to bottom, here what you see in the image above: Vanilla-Flecked Sweet Potato Puree, Sauteed Leeks and Brussels Sprouts, Potato and Pumpkin Bake, Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts (these are actually hard - but delicious - on Thanksgiving unless you have multiple ovens) and Ginger Squash Puree.
