SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings. Additionally, a slow-cooker macaroni and cheese recipe, which can also be prepared in advance, has become a crowd favorite. Both dishes save time and provide delicious comfort for holiday meals. May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
