Thanksgiving menu-planning yet? No need to hide it, we’ve been thinking about Turkey Dinner for weeks now. There’s no shame in that.

But if the busy day-to-day activities have hindered some prime-time planning, then we’ll gladly give you a jump-start! Here are some tasty ideas for your Thanksgiving meal.

Balsamic Roasted Vegetables-Garnish with thyme, and serve alongside your favorite Thanksgiving dishes.

Autumn Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette- this is a great salad starter. The maple syrup and Dijon mustard add a pleasant tangy sweetness.

Kale & Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms - more of an appetizer and less of a Fall side, these stuffed mushrooms are a hit at any party or dinner function!

These Walnut Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms are also great, if you’d like to keep the leafy greens out of the equation. Aand if you are a meat lover, don’t worry we’ve got you covered with these Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms.

Parmesan Roasted Brussels, Butternut Squash and Kale - Another hearty side, loaded with vegetables…and Parm, for good measure.

Lemon-Herb Roasted Spaghetti Squash – Easy, zesty, and healthy.

Other favorite Fall sides:

Eat, Live, Run — Roasted Acorn Squash

Eating Bird Food — Fall Harvest Spinach Salad

A Spicy Perspective — Apple Butter Yeast Rolls {in the Crockpot!}

Bev Cooks — Savory Mini Muffins w/ Goat Cheese, Red Onion, Rosemary

Peas and Thank You — Loaded Baked Potato Soup
