I struggled for years trying to put together an interesting and different menu for Thanksgiving. In 2006, I purchased Martha Stewart's Living magazine at the grocery store which had her most popular Thanksgiving recipes. I made several side dishes that were an instant hit with the family and now they've become a tradition. All of these recipes are available for free on her website: http://www.marthastewart.com/food

These are my 4 favorites. They're crowd pleasers.
1) Cauliflower Gratin with Endive
2) Green Bean Casserole with Fried Shallots
3) Cornbread, Wild Mushroom and Pecan Stuffing
4) Cranberry-Orange Relish

If you are a "foodie" like me, it's worth the effort and time to make these.
