Ended Official BYC Mini-Contest—Thanksgiving Side Dishes Photo Contest!

Pies of Thanksgiving past. I always do 3 pumpkin, a chocolate/pecan, and an apple or a peach depending on what’s in the house.

If you’ve never made your own cranberries, they are super easy & quick to make.

They taste way better than the can & they make satisfying little pops as they start to cook down. It’s my favorite part of the meal prep.

I like to use pineapple juice instead of water or OJ. The pineapple juice gives them a little extra ping that really takes the flavor up a notch.

Another tradition here is spicy sweet potatoes. I know everybody likes the sweet candied dish with the marshmallows, but sweet potatoes & hot sauce compliment each other surprisingly well.

Roast your sweet potatoes in the oven like a baked potato. Line your pan because they make a sticky, gooey mess as they cook.

Scoop out the soft, cooked inside & mash with milk, dried garlic, black pepper & a few dashes of hot sauce. I like using sriracha for this because it’s also a little sweet.

The day is almost here! Thank goodness, one of the judges managed to slip a nail file into the cell. They're all free from their cuffs now and working on the bars, screaming about how hungry they are. I may have to get the firehose out and back them all down.

Send recipes!

I'll be cooking today.

This is the first year in like forever that we haven’t cooked anything even before we started hosting, we’d typically have a pre-thanksgiving. I may have to check photos from side-dishes past!
