You don’t need to be Southern to truly appreciate cornbread; cornbread is one of my favorite dishes and I’m from the New England area. Pumpkin cornbread is a perfect side dish to make for Friendsgiving. Almost everyone loves cornbread, and it goes with everything! You simply can’t go wrong with this dish.

3. Simple Fall Slaw

This slaw is so easy and delicious that it made it onto our list of easy side dishes to make for Friendsgiving. This dish is so colorful, not to mention, it is so healthy. To make this dish, you use a variety of fruits and vegetables. The whole dish is made even better when you add on the Tahini-apple cider vinegar dressing.

We love soups during the Fall season, they keep us warm and toasty. With so many beautiful fall flavors to choose from, we are sure to have some flavorful soups. From apples, to butternut squash, to cranberry, the flavors of fall are perfection on their own.

6. Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes

Yes, we needed to put a potato of easy side dishes of some kind on this list; because, it just isn’t a holiday without mashed potatoes. This recipe is so easy that it virtually consists of only 3-ish steps. After many hours in the slow cooker, simply add the spices to the potatoes, and whip with a mixer. This dish allows you to do other things while it cooks, making it a no-brainer dish to bring to Friendsgiving. Enjoy this sweet, hot, and delicious meal with the best friends you have.

Friendsgiving is a great time to let your friends know that you’re glad they exist. What a great world it is, where you get to have friends like them. They’re one-of-a-kind and you wouldn’t trade them for anything. So, from my friends to yours, Happy Friendsgiving!
