30 Paleo Thanksgiving Side Dishes (1)

Side Dishes are everything when it comes Thanksgiving, don’t you think?! Okay I also live for the desserts (coming very soon!) but side dishes come first, so that’s why we’re here right now.

Growning up, Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday, hands down. It was the one day out of the year that my family cooked an actual meal, for one.

And, little did I know back then, cooking is sorta my thing (funny how it all turns out!). So no wonder Thanksgiving always came up number 1 even before all the “presents” holidays 🙂

My favorite dish of all was always stuffing, which is why I now have 3 Thanksgiving stuffing recipes on the blog, along with lots of other recipes resembling stuffing (stuffed squash, harvest hash, etc.) I also can’t live without my candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce!

Of course everyone has their favorites and there’s a little (or a lot!) something here for every single one of you and your family members, promise.

I hope you’re ready to dig into some GOOD paleo Thanksgiving side dishes! I’m so excited for the big day!

    I’m planning my menu for Thanksgiving now and it’s funny, but with the exception of my turkey, the majority of the recipes I’m using this year are from you!!! 🙂 I’m having a hard time deciding whether or not to make your butternet sausage stuffing or your cornbread stuffing. If I make the butternut stuffing, I would probably just omit the cranberry sauce, and if I make the Cornbread stuffing, I would omit the mashed potatoes and mash cauliflower instead. Planning on making your apple pie for dessert! Can you share with us what your Thanksgiving menu will look like? 🙂

      Hi! I always make the butternut stuffing and HIGHLY recommend it! The cornbread one is awesome too but more labor intensive since you have to make the bread first. It’s all up to you!

        Yes, I make a faux-cornbread stuffing every year in honor of my mom’s cornbread stuffing…but this year it’s just my immediate family and I thought I might enjoy a break from the “labor intensive” dishes! So your read my mind! 🙂 What other side’s do you recommend with the butternut stuffing? I can’t wait to try it! Thank you, Michele!
