How is fun this? To get these five “tried and true” excellent Thanksgiving side dishes from the bloggers participating in this new Project Design? My family and I will definitely be making these dishes. You will find all the recipe links at the bottom of the post.
My recommendation is to “take it easy on yourself” and volunteer to bring this dish to your Thanksgiving party. “Seared Green Beans, Tomatoes, and Shallots with Balsamic Drizzle”
You can blanch (“par-boil”) the green beans earlier in the day and then it’s basically three ingredients (four if you add the optional chopped parsley).

Serve hot or at room temperature.
On Sunday, Howard and I were at our friends’ home in Winter Park, Florida for a festive autumn dinner…
Thank you, Netta and Woody!

Visit these ladies for fantastic Thanksgiving side dishes…
That looks good! I really want to cook but sometimes it seems so daunting with the recipe and shopping and putting it all together:) I dream that after I stop working my house will always be clean and I will start entertaining like Martha Stewart spending hours setting my table and fluffing pillows:)
Wow.
This post is beautiful and yummy.
I am inspired.
Thanks, Renée!
Yum! I love my green beans, and you have made them look gorgeous! 🙂
So so so excited to try all of these! The green beans look amazing. Thank you – I am hosting Thanksgiving and it’s always hard to come up with new and different things that are also tried and true!
I know. I am making the soup tonight. Thanks, Lisa.
These recipes look so delicious, I’m adding all of them to my recipe box!

Great!!
Mary Ann,
I love a dish that’s good served hot or at room temp, especially at Thanksgiving! And what a beautiful fall table your friend set for you and Howard! I love that peek into her kitchen too!

This sounds delicious. Vegetables are so welcome at Thanksgiving, when too many dishes are heavy and full of carbs. Good to eat, but in moderation. Whereas this bean dish can be indulged in to abandon.
I have a standard green bean dish that I do for Thanksgiving. This one sounds like way more fun!!
this is just beautiful and vegan to top! thank you sharing such a great recipe, so fresh compared to the green beans with canned soup and canned french fried onions!
