Best Thanksgiving Recipes?
Hi Ladies! Does anyone have delicious thanksgiving recipes that you'd be willing to share? I'm going to cheat on the turkey & order it pre-made from Williams Sonoma (shh), and two of my aunts are handling the pies, so I'd *really* love appetizer & side dish recipes... hoping to practice a bit this weekend so I'll be in good shape for hosting on the 24th!! Thanks so much in advance 
Re: Best Thanksgiving Recipes?
i am not a stuffing/dressing person but i made this last year and had to try it, really good. DH & my fam loved it! we skipped the apples to keep it savory.

these might be my favorite mashed potatoes (you make them the night before which makes life a lot easier!). my aunt has a similar recipe and i like these even more (shhh!)

I know I post this every year.... but, this is my favorite cranberry sauce:

Caramelized Onion Dip
Cranberry, Caramelized Onion, and Goat Cheese Dip
Turkey
Ham
Stuffing
Pineapple Stuffing
Baked Green Beans
Mashed Potatoes
Baked Sweet potatoes
Rolls
Fancy Butters
Cranberry Sauce
This is the best, most delicious sweet potato recipe.
Homemade cranberry sauce is so good.
As to the rest, I fiddle around every year and try new recipes. Until the kids are old enough to start associating traditional foods, I figure I have room to perfect my favorites.
I always have collard greens (tyler florenece's recipe) on t day.
last year I made this cauliflower, breadcrumb & pinenuts thing that was so amazing:
