It's Foodie Friday! Countdown To Thanksgiving: 19 Sensational Sides

I am getting excited for Thanksgiving.

How about you? I'll be cooking up a storm in NYC. If you enjoy bold flavors and an unusual ingredient here or there, I know you'll find a new dish or two that inspires your own meal. 

Bon Appetit!
