A special edition of Be Fed Again this weekend, I’m popping in today to share with you 5 delicious Thanksgiving side dish recipes that will be showstoppers at your feast!
Sure shootin’ the turkey is the star of the Thanksgiving show, but to me, it’s the side dishes that are my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. I have my tried and true recipes that I happen to make every year, but this year I decided to change things up a bit and develop a few new recipes.
Starting back in the beginning of October, I started creating and perfecting 5 side dishes with a good ole Be Fed Again spin. I wanted to create delicious and beautiful dishes that would wow you and your guests, and make your tastebuds mighty happy. All of these recipes will be delicious additions to your Thanksgiving meal, and they are all easy to make.
This soup can be made ahead of time and frozen until ready to warm up. Not only is this soup a perfect Thanksgiving starter course, but it is the perfect soup to eat on a cold winter’s night.
Dinner Rolls with Apple Jelly Butter.
Let the store help you out. Buy the dinner rolls and add this delicious butter with a hint of sweetness.
Showstopper. So easy to roast and the sprinkling of parmesan cheese and parsley at the end is over-the-top-good. Cut it in wedges and serve.
Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes in Orange Cups.
These things are almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Sweet potatoes are a Thanksgiving staple, and the addition of maple syrup to these mashed gems is the perfect marriage of flavors.
Butternut Squash & Asparagus Risotto.
A jazzy spin on color from peas and carrots, the butternut squash and asparagus totally compliment each other with the added comfort of risotto. Mmm-Mmm-Good!
I hope these Thanksgiving side dish recipes have inspired you to serve them for your Thanksgiving meal. I know you’re planning your menu and writing your grocery list, so make sure you include the ingredients! Trust me, these side dishes will become a part of your Thanksgiving tradition!

I am responding to all your recipes. I loved them; in fact I could not wait for Thanksgiving. I immediately tried the ristotto with the squash and asparagus as the main part of the meal. It was a hit and nobody felt they had not received a proper dinner. Tonight we will try the cauliflower. I am making the soup as I write to you. The rest will go on the table for Thanksgiving. It will be a different version of what we generally have but a good and necessary change. Thanks for your inspiration. Our dinner on turkey day will be exceptional.

I am responding to all your recipes. I loved what you have done. I could not wait so had the risotto for lunch and will serve the cauliflower for dinner tomorrow evening. I will do the other dishes for turkey day and it will be a welcome change to the same old same old in past Thanksgivings. I know my guests will be pleasantly surprised. You are an inspiration to my time in the kitchen.
