Thanksgiving side dishes/6 recipes

Sauteed mushroom and Swiss chard with layered mashed potatoes, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, after baking the flavor is wonderful. It is also a good dish for holidays.

Chunks of lobster meat sauteed in butter, peppers, garlic and onions served over bowtie pasta.

Very tasty! It's hard to go wrong with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes soaked up all the deliciousness. A great way to cook root vegetables, and this can be served as a side dish or a vegetarian main dish.

Golden brown chicken with loads of mushrooms, leeks and spiked with a whiskey cream sauce.

Made the vegetarian version of this recipe, and it turned out cheesy and delicious.

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)

Classic old favorite holiday treat

A quick, easy and delicious salad. Cucumber, mang bean sprouts and cabbage were crunchy and juicy. lemon, yogurt and tamarind dressing was creamy and refreshing. A delicious dish.

The blackend chicken breast came out tender, juicy and flavorful, and the cajun sauce was delicious, really bound all the flavors together. It was reasonably quick and easy to make as well, an ideal supper for a busy weekday.

A delicious and succulent dish that will have you and your friends licking your lips and fingers!

We use zucchini to make these pancakes, with parmesan cheese and shallots, very tasty.

A tasty way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It includes leeks and mushrooms along with the turkey in a traditional flaky pastry.

Nothing is quicker and easier than a Chinese stir-fry, agreed?! This dish took me less than half an hour to make, and it tasted wonderfully delicious. Served it over a bed of rice, and our dinner was served with tons of goodness and yumminess.

A very tasty way to cook squash, and it's also a cozy dish in a cold winter day. Packed with nutrients, feel free to use other similar squash to replace butternut.

A great Sandwich maker and a light Summer Main Dish with a side salad, or as a salad topper, or stuffed into a Wrap or Tomato. Best served next day as flavors will have blended better.
