Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Casserole
No holiday is complete without a homemade sweet potato casserole.

We like to sprinkle chopped pecans on top along with the marshmallows for a bit of texture.
The best part of this salad?
The longer it sits, the better it gets.

The orange goes in unpeeled so it adds both juicy sweetness and the essential oils from the skin.
This relish complements any roast turkey.
while your slow cooker does the rest.
Cornbread & Oyster-Mushroom Stuffing
Mushrooms are a rich, meaty addition in this healthy cornbread stuffing.
The sweet potatoes and lightened saucemade with flour and low-fat milkkeep it healthier than butter- and cream-laden versions.
Serve for the holidays or as a hearty side dish with roast chicken.
Top it off with classic french-fried onions (we have a vegan recipe for that, too!)
for a side dish everyone will devour.
The greens in this side dish also create a nice contrast to the creamy, velvety potatoes.
If you use delicata, the whole squashincluding the gorgeous skinis edible.
This makes a satisfying side dish if youre cooking for dairy-free or vegan diets.
We love the deep flavor of cornbread in this entirely plant-based recipe.
With classic and simple flavors, it can easily be paired with any of your favorite dishes.
