Thanksgiving is a day for family traditions, especially when it comes to the dinner menu. Turkey is a staple, but why not revamp your tired side dishes this year? Here are a few recipes to get your new traditions started.

Out with the old: Mashed potatoes

In with the new: Creamy Pumpkin and Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes

Mashed potatoes might be a comfort food, but this savory dish takes potatoes to the next level. The pumpkin and cheese give this dish a creamy texture that will have everyone at the table drooling.

Out with the old: Green bean casserole

In with the new: Roasted Green Beans with Balsamic-Browned Butter

Ditch the cream of mushroom soup and fried onions for this fresh alternative. The nuttiness of the browned butter and the tartness of the balsamic are sure to create an incredible flavor.

Out with the old: Sweet potato casserole

In with the new: Sweet Potato Cups

Who wants casserole when you can have almost the same ingredients baked into fresh orange cups? This dish is updated with orange zest, and combined with cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans, you’ve got fall in a cup (literally).

Out with the old: Canned cranberry sauce

In with the new: Blue Cranberry Sauce

Almost everything is better homemade, and this cranberry sauce is no exception. The blue comes from fresh blueberries, making this fruity sauce the perfect sidekick to your turkey.

Out with the old: Stuffing

In with the new: Bacon Wrapped Stuffing Bites

Cornbread stuffing wrapped in bacon. That is all.

Sorry, grandma.
