Thanksgiving Go-2 Sides

Thanksgiving is so much more than 🦃 . It can get overwhelming really quickly if you’re taking on the cooking yourself😓. All 3 of these recipes are simple & 🤤I have been known to make my 👩‍👧Mom’s Stuffing all year long 🗓 bc I can’t only eat it over the holidays. The 🥓Maple Brussels Sprouts will change any skeptics out there who say they don’t like them & the buttery Sweet Potato Mash 🧈🍠will have your guests going back for thirds 🤣
Throughout the class, you’ll have the opportunity to ask me any culinary 👩‍🍳questions about things you are unsure of or that are stressing you out 😬😫about making the meal a success 💥

Let me help you create delicious food memories this Thanksgiving 💗👩‍🍳

note: 
– I add a pinch of cinnamon to the top of my sweet potato mash which adds a hint of sweet, earthy spice while staying very simple. If you’re all about the yum yum toss in some brown sugar & marshmallows then place the pan under the broiler to get the top nice and toasty.
