    Soft and fluffy yeast dough + butter ... Does it need any more of an introduction?? Plus what is Thanksgiving without dinner rolls? This is the only recipe here that takes a bit more time to make, but most of it is inactive AND the rolls are so worth it! Click here for this recipe (which p.s. is great for beginners working with yeast!)

    3. Rolled Buttermilk Biscuits

    Flaky, buttery, and rich! These biscuits are the first to go on my table. Not even a crumb is left in sight! Biscuits are also the perfect distraction snack if the turkey or chicken is taking its sweet time to finish baking! Click here for this recipe and tips for getting super flaky biscuits.

    4. Garlic Green Beans

    Because we need to feel like we're eating ever so slightly healthy. Even if we're not because these green beans are topped with a rich and delicious butter and garlic sauce! This recipe takes 4 ingredients (green beans, butter, garlic, salt). Seriously the simplest and quickest side. Get this green beans recipe here.

    5. Braided Garlic Bread

    If you're looking for a photogenic side, this one has you covered! This braided garlic bread is surprisingly easier to make than it looks, but it's really a looker. And no worries, we also have a video to cover how to get that beautiful braid! Click here for the braided garlic bread recipe and video.

    6. Garlic Butter Mushrooms

    7. Five Minute Cucumber Salad

    While butter is maybe my fourth best friend, I'll admit, we do probably need a recipe to cut through all of the richness packed into Thanksgiving! This light and refreshing cucumber salad is the perfect healthy Thanksgiving side, and only requires 5 minutes to make! Click here for this simple salad recipe (featuring the easiest vinaigrette that can be used on other veggies, too)!
