Haha definitely sweet potato casserole for me (the one with marshmallow toppings). Too too sweet. But of course mom assigned that dish to me this year! So may try some tweaking …

I totally agree, Shannon! Just WHY??? (As a family rule, we are not assigned dishes that we do not enjoy ourselves. Have fun tweaking!)

I think we as a society need to just call that a dessert. It's so dishonest to call it a vegetable/side.

I've always preferred the pecan topping, but my family wants marshmallows.

Stuffing/dressing/whatever you call it. I find it so gross.

I am thankful for the sweetest baby boy I never expected right now but couldn’t imagine life without.

This is a bit of a non-answer, but my least favorite side dish is the main dish. I'm not a turkey fan. So, I get larger portions of the sides (multiple entrees) and the turkey becomes a small side dish.

I respect this approach, and I do the same thing :)

Things I used to not care for I have come to enjoy thanks to my mother in law's incredible skill in the kitchen! I still don't care for any of the cranberry sauces/relishes/etc though.
