I have a very small kitchen, but I want to make Thanksgiving dinner this year, for the first time. Which side dishes should I make? There will be 3 adults and 2 kids. Thanks!

Mashed potatoes are always good... Green bean casserole is quick and you can even microwave it until really hot in the dish. Put the fried onions on top and put in the hot oven for like 5 minutes. then they think you have cooked everything from scratch. We always make a veggie/relish tray and deviled eggs. They are filling and you can make them up and put them in the fridge up to a day in advance. Corn is always good with the kids. Cranberry sauce. Turkey and Dressing and you are done. You can always make broccoli too for some color. Make sure you have a little cheese sauce for the broccolli if the kids are picky eaters...Happy Thanksgiving!!

Sides
Mashed Potatoes w/ Gravy
Sweet peas or asparagus
Stuffing ( I use stove top these days)
Other stuff
Cranberry Sauce
Parkhouse Dinner Rolls
Vanilla Ice cream would be good for the kids, in case the dessert you are planning is too grown up/rich for them.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

the things your family likes the most.
Definitely turkey or ham
gravy
green beans
corn
potatos of some sort
I have a small kitchen too so I am throwing carrots, celery, and potatos in the bag with my turkey breast.
I am going to be making my cream corn and green beans the day before so all I have to do it put it in the microwave!!

The turkey ..of course
Stuffing
mashed potatoes w/ turkey gravy
winter squash...boiled and lots of butter
baby peas
home made rolls
cranberry sauce
olives and pickles
jell-o salad
pumpkin pie
EDIT: I would go with a 14 to 18 lb so to have lots of leftover turkey for sandwiches, soup, casserole, etc. etc.

Stuffing (best: Mrs. Cubbison's Stuffin')
Candied Yams (use canned to keep the texture consistent)
Greenbean Casserole (greenbeans, cream of mushroom soup and FRENCH'S Fried Onions to top)
Mashed Potatoes
Greenbeans
Rolls
Cranberry Sauce (might as well skip it, no one eats it anyways)

Dressing as I call or it or stuffing is a must! Mashed potatoes are good with it and gravy!! And then add a veggie that your family likes. Then there is the all important PUMPKIN PIE!!! :)
