Note from Cheri: At my mother's insistence, vegetable side dishes were an important part of every Thanksgiving meal. She was a bit fanatical about it. Even after I was grown and living away from home, she would always call and double check what was on my Thanksgiving menu. My sisters, living in different parts of the country, would get a similar grilling. One year Mom nagged my sister Linda and I so much about the lack green vegetables on our table, we have opened an annual ceremonial can of peas in her honor ever since --knowing full well that nobody will eat them. The point is, Mom thought side dishes important enough to merit a few dollars spent with Ma Bell to insure we were all had the "proper" Thanksgiving dinner. I've since moved beyond the obligatory "can of peas," but side dishes still play an important part of the Thanksgiving meal. Here are some more inspired recipes. Make some to round out your Thanksgiving feast.		Slow Cooker Using your Slow Cooker for side dishes makes good sense in a busy holiday meal, as it frees your stove and oven for other uses.
