Gratin Dauphinois
Thanksgiving is exactly 20 days away. How is that even possible?! And then exactly .5 seconds later it’ll be Christmas. Or something like that anyway. So I figured we’ll jump right into the swing of things and have fun with some new Thanksgiving recipes because one can never have too many mouth watering options, right?
Next to the 4th of July, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love them for two vastly different reasons of course. But both have amazing dishes, created for the season. Holidays that semi-revolve around food make me very happy. I know it’s suppose to be about being thankful and giving back, but how can you look forget about the stuffing, potatoes, rolls, pies and of course the turkey?
Are you drooling thinking about it all?
Mashed potatoes are pretty traditional and practically a must have, but why not offer a dressed up potato dish too? Imagine layers of sliced potatoes baked in a garlic cream sauce and covered with shredded cheese. Oh it’s heavenly. Add red pepper flakes for an added kick, if desired. In this house, it’s a must. I love a spicy kick.

My favorite side dish is sweet potato casserole.
my favorite side for Thanksgiving is the stuffing “balls” my grandma used to make. She never had a recipe written down, so when she passed away, I had to try and make them on my own.
Cranberry-apple crisp. It is a fantastic alternative to plain cranberry sauce. Sweet and tangy and great with turkey….but also can be eaten with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert!

My favorite side is homemade rolls!
Roast potatoes … Not traditional, but I’m Scottish celebrating Thanksgiving in Texas ;)
My favorite Thanksgiving side dish is stuffing, which I bake on the side rather than in the turkey. My dear mother wasn’t much of a cook, but I loved her stuffing, and it’s one of the few things I remember her teaching me how to make. Sweet memories…
