Spotlight on Sides

Spinach Casserole Spinach Casserole

D. RattrayThis year dress up your table with a stunning cornucopia centerpiece, or simply fill a bowl with dried leaves, mini-pumpkins and gourds, dried corn, and pinecones. To make individual dishes take on a holiday look, surround them with greens and colorful small vegetables, or add color to your vegetables and salads with creative garnishes of parsley, cilantro, green onions, or other herbs.

Many of us have traditional Thanksgiving comfort foods we absolutely must have on the table, but it's fun to offer something new and different. That's probably one of the reasons Thanksgiving cooks serve half a dozen or more side dishes, much to their guests' delight. This week, choose something traditional or new from the list of vegetable dishes below, or surf on to some of the great vegetable recipe ideas on the Net. You might just start a new family tradition!
