Thanksgiving Sides - Just in Time


It’s time to start thinking about Thanksgiving

It’s hard to ignore the fact that the holidays are just around the corner. The markets already have displays showcasing all the staples we need to cook - flour, stuffing mix, yams, cranberry sauce, and marshmallows, to name a few. However, we are focusing on the best part of the Thanksgiving feast - the sides! We hope you find something to love.

 

Cousins Travis and Ryan Croxton of the Rappahannock Oyster Co. include this show-stopper yam dish on their Thanksgiving table.
