This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. While it’s pretty much a given that turkey will be on the menu for most people, my favourites are actually the side dishes. We always have cranberry sauce, potatoes, gravy and dressing (stuffing), but the other dishes can vary. Perhaps some simple carrots with butter, mashed sweet potatoes or some butternut squash might accompany the bird this year. Here are some great recipe ideas you can serve with your holiday meal:
Roasted Green Beans with Shallots
Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Thyme Croutons
Roasted Beet Salad with Walnuts and Feta
Heirloom Tomato Salad with Goat Cheese and Sherry Vinaigrette
Corn with Red Pepper and Herbs
And of course, don’t forget dessert!
Pumpkin Pie with Maple-Walnut Praline
Pear and Pecan Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce
Maple-Caramel Custards with Sea Salt
Bon Appétit and Happy Thanksgiving!
