The big day for eating is almost here. Chances are that you’ve decided upon your main dish, but how about the sides? Certainly you can go the traditional route, and you can have those same side dishes you have every year. But maybe, just maybe, you want to try something a little different this Thanksgiving.

BHG.com offers a handful of recipes that are just what you are looking for this holiday season. You will certainly wow your guests when you set the table with Glazed Parsnips and Carrots, Lemony Green Beans, Butternut Squash Gratin, and Twice-Baked Potatoes.
