THANKSGIVING TURKEY
Confession: I've actually never cooked a full turkey. So I won't be posting any great recipes or tips here. But really, isn't Thanksgiving all about the sides anyway? Keep reading for sides dishes, rolls, and desserts you'll love!
THANKSGIVING SIDE DISHES
RAINBOW JELLO
This recipe has appeared at our Thanksgiving dinner for as long as I can remember. Rainbow Jello is a must! Get the recipe here.
CORN BREAD STUFFING
I've never liked (or eaten for that matter) stuffing. To me, I'd much rather eat all my calories in mashed potatoes and gravy and rolls. But, when my sister showed up to Thanksgiving with this AMAZING corn bread stuffing, my opinion changed rather quickly.
Maybe it's because the only stuffing I have ever known was Stove Top stuffing-- no offense to my parents, but that stuff was mushy! No wonder I didn't like it.
This corn bread stuffing recipe deserved prime real estate on my Thanksgiving plate. And bonus! Most of the corn bread stuffing recipe can be prepared in advance.

ITALIAN GREEN BEANS
These no-fuss Italian green beans are such a simple side-dish that hardly require any effort on your part! But they have so much flavor that will compliment all your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes.
CRUDITE PLATTER
Another favorite is a crudite platter. Just spread raw carrots, celery, cucumbers, pickles, olives, sliced peppers, and any other favorite fresh veggies onto a platter. Serve with your favorite veggie dip or hummus.

LEMON SOUR CREAM PIE
Lemon Sour Cream pie is one of the pies that shows without fail at everything Thanksgiving. It's tangy. It's sweet. But not too sweet. The lemony goodness is a welcome change from the traditional pumpkin and apple.
I'm so glad my sister-in-law made this a few years ago. It's one of our top 5 favorite pies for sure.
QUICK BLUEBERRY SOUR CREAM PIE
If I had to eat one pie for the rest of my life, this Blueberry Sour Cream Pie would be it. A good friend and So Festive! reader shared this recipe a few years ago and ever since, it has become my husband and I's all. time. favorite pie. The blueberry flavor is not too strong, the texture is perfect, and the light creaminess is just enough to make you think you've died and gone to heaven.
Ok, maybe that sounds dramatic. But really, for how easy and quick this pie is to make, you wouldn't think it would be so amazing. But it is.
Here's the Blueberry Sour Cream Pie recipe!
10-MINUTE CINNAMON ROASTED ALMONDS
It's debatable whether it's more fun to make or eat these Cinnamon Roasted almonds. They will leave your house smelling delightful, but be warned, they may not last very long. Once you eat one, you just can't stop!
They are great for snacking on while the turkey is cooking. Or you can put them into cute Mini Mayflower place settings on your Thanksgiving table.
