     10 Super Easy Thanksgiving Side Dishes are so incredibly delicious that you may be tempted to load up your plate and skip the turkey!

    10-super-easy-thanksgiving-side-dishes-meatloafandmelodrama.com

    Confession time -- I'm not a big fan of roasted turkey. I love nibbling on leftover cold turkey or making turkey sandwiches, but I don't really like it straight out of the oven. So when everyone else is ooing and ahhing over the turkey, I'm all about the side dishes. I even go so far as to take a smaller portion of turkey just so that I can totally load up on the sides.

    Crazy? Maybe. But, I know I can't be the only one who feels this way. And if you enjoy easy Thanksgiving side dishes as much as I do, this round-up is for you!
