Sunbasket’s A La Carte Thanksgiving Sides
Thanksgiving is in the air! We’re here for ALL the harvest produce, seasonal flavors, and comfort dishes you know and love. And let’s not forget that Thanksgiving feasting isn’t limited to one afternoon. Between work potlucks, Friendsgiving dinners, and smaller gatherings with different sets of family and friends, there’s never been so many opportunities to enjoy!
On the other hand, it can quickly become a busy, busy month in the kitchen, and let’s just say… maybe not the healthiest. We’re here to help. This year, we’re celebrating the return of our easy, gourmet Thanksgiving A La Carte Sides – the perfect plates to bring as a guest, add seasonal fun to a weeknight dinner, or just reduce the big day’s workload by a dish or two.
These stand-alone sides will be available to order as part of your normal weekly delivery on our 11/11, 11/18, and 11/25 menus. If you’re not a Sunbasket member already, be sure to sign up to get access to these effortless, delicious sides!
