Mashed Potatoes are really quite simple to make. It's just a matter of choosing the right potatoes -- I like Yukon Gold -- and not overmashing. Never use an electric mixer to make mashed potatoes! This mashed potato recipe can be made even creamier by using light cream instead of half and half. And if you're looking for a
Thanksgiving side dish, just double or triple the recipe. It's very easy.

Having visitors for Thanksgiving? Serve them this hearty
breakfast of hash browns, red and green peppers, onions and sunny side up eggs. It's easy to make in an electric skillet.

It's dinner time and you have nothing planned. Sound familiar? These
BBQ Chicken Quesadillas have been my solution to that dilemma more times than I can count. Leftover rotisserie chicken, pre-shredded cheese and bottled barbecue sauce make these chicken quesadillas a cinch to prepare. Serve with
tomato salsa and
guacamole.

The key to
Thanksgiving side dishes for me is to be able to do as much of the work ahead as possible. This
Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe makes that easy. It's basically a mashed potato casserole with onions, celery and red pepper folded in. A sprinkle of Asiago cheese on top makes this baked mashed potato casserole creamy and cheesy. And the best part is you can make the whole thing a day in advance (stop just before baking) and just bake 20 minutes before you're ready to serve.
