Green beans are a great choice for a side dish any time of the year, but we especially like this side dish option for Thanksgiving and other holiday meals.
Curry Green Beans are full of flavor and a healthy green bean side dish.
We all know about Green Bean Casserole, the super popular Thanksgiving side dish. And honestly, I have to say it has long been a favorite of mine. But the thing about that specific recipe is that it is unhealthy and while a spoonful at Thanksgiving is a tasty indulgence…it’s not something that I’m likely to make very often.
When it comes to holiday traditions, I’m a firm believer in consistently creating new memories.
Sure, we have our favorite pumpkin cheesecake recipe that will grace the dessert table each year, but besides that, I like to add in a couple new recipes to substitute for others we tried out the year before.
Last year, we started what I hope will become a new tradition–celebrating Friendsgiving the day before or after Thanksgiving.
Since we’re a family of four and live hundreds of miles away from extended family, it’s nice to be able to celebrate the holiday with friends. We started the tradition with our kids inviting over a bunch of their friends, and I’m sure it is a tradition that will likely carry over to their college years.
