Everyone knows that, when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, the sides make the meal (sorry, turkey!). Whether you choose corn, a classic green bean casserole or your family’s favorite potato dish, veggie sides add so much color (and flavor) to your table. And, as much as we love every part of the feast, we always find ourselves craving more sides once Turkey Day is over. That’s why we try to include as many as our table will allow, starting with these delicious options. You’ll find a little something for everyone in this roundup but we would be remiss not to recommend Molly’s creamed corn.
