My dad has made this all my life and now I make it too!

This is definitely an acquired taste,-as it is bitter. We make this but also the traditional cranberry sauce:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 12-ounce package Ocean Spray® Fresh or Frozen Cranberries

Directions
Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil; add cranberries, return to boil. Reduce heat and boil gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate until serving time. Makes 2 1/4 cups.

Even children like this recipe, my son loves it on dinner rolls as jelly.

I add cloves and orange zest to this basic recipe.

I would eat any "Thanksgiving" side dish, really. My family never got into oysters or other seafood, but otherwise anything. Brussels Salad, Broccoli Raisin Salad, creamed parsnips (or corn or kale or whatever - little goes wrong when creamed), roasted root veg, mashed potatoes and butter, rolls, cranberries - I am just grateful that so much delicious food is on the table!

Corn souffle is the people insist I bring every year.

CORN PUDDING

2 15 3/4oz cans cream style corn, NOT drained
1 box Jiffy Cornbread mix
2 eggs (you could use egg beaters)
2/3 C milk (use skim/no fat)
1/2 C cooking oil
1 dash garlic salt (optional)

Mix together and pour in to a greased 9X12 baking pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes (my note: it can take an hour).

My kids love it and it takes all of 3 minutes to throw together.

I use a similar recipe but given how much liquid is in yours I think yours truly may be more "pudding"y and mine is a bit more spongy/solid:

1 can drained corn
1 can creamed corn
1 box Jiffy mix
8 oz sour cream
1 stick melted butter

Mix and bake.

Do you make corn pudding in advance? (I only have one oven and the turkey is using it.)

Sweet potato souffle with brown sugar/pecan topping (Southern Living recipe)

"Shot of Autumn" soup (Inn at Little Washington recipe, available online, easy and delicious)

Thanks so much for their soup recipe recommendation! I just went to their site and printed it.

Is it the apple rutabaga soup?

Thanks for the link! I have to look through so many recipes every year to find this one.

Southern cornbread dressing. Yum.

My favorite side is the plain old mashed potatoes!

I also make mashed sweet potatoes + russett potatoes + roasted garlic + rosemary + parm cheese + mild. So delicious.

I grow purple sweet potatoes and mash them with butter and spices -- pretty and delicious! Just harvested them this week. So excited.

Yes. Then when the turkey comes out and rests for a bit, I use that time to reheat the corn pudding.

You can also do corn pudding in a crockpot. I've never tried it but understand it comes out a bit creamier.
