Thanksgiving Sides Made Simple
The turkey may be the centerpiece of Thanksgiving, but everyone knows the side dishes are what people look forward to most! In this hands-on class, you'll learn how to prepare a collection of comforting, crowd-pleasing recipes that deserve a permanent place on your holiday table.
We'll make individual corn casserole muffins that are perfectly portioned and easy to serve, a creamy sweet potato casserole, savory green beans cooked with onions and bacon, and golden cast iron skillet cornbread with a crisp crust and tender center. You'll also learn how to roast a pie pumpkin, make homemade pumpkin puree from scratch, and use it to create individual pumpkin pies perfect for your holiday celebrations.
Along the way, you'll pick up tips for make-ahead prep, holiday timing, and techniques that help take the stress out of Thanksgiving cooking. Whether you're hosting the holiday meal or bringing a dish to share, you'll leave with reliable recipes, new skills, and homemade favorites that will make your Thanksgiving table extra special.

Come alone, bring a friend, or make a date night out of it! However you come, you will fit right in! Our classes are a fit for all! If you are outgoing and like to talk, you will have that opportunity chat with new friends! If you are shy and prefer to stay quiet in class, that is great! You won't be forced to do anything you don't want. We ask for volunteers for some aspects of the class, but most work is done at your station.
We will learn the tricks of these unique recipes and spend most of our time cooking. Our classes are hands-on! You will be getting hands-on practice with these recipes, and we will also email you the recipes! Don't worry, you do not need to be an expert cook to join our classes! We work with each person at any experience level!
BYOB-In this class you are welcome to bring your own beverage of choice. We will have water available and glasses for beer and wine. We cannot serve you or re-cork your bottles, but you are welcome to bring what you like and enjoy!
We recommend eating a snack before you come since eating is the last thing we do in class!
