Yesterday I was watching a video where Tyler Florence from Food Network was making these fabulous looking green beans, and they looked very simple!. (See link below)
Cranberries are very easy to make at home using fresh cranberries!. The directions are on the package!. You can make many impressive looking Jello sidedishes, like a a mold with candied cherries and whipped cream!. Traditional sides like mashed potatos are very easy as well!.
Your mom might enjoy cooking one big meal a year like this, so if you can't think of anything, maybe you could ask her to teach you how she does it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

This sounds absolutely nuts, but for years we did a pot-luck thanksgiving and the only crock pot that was empty year after year was ours!. Get 2-3 packages of Birds Eye sweet baby corn, toss them in the crock pot on low with a stick of real butter!. I dont know why, but after about 4-6 hours it's the best corn ever!
also try maybe green beans with halved cranberries (just steamed green beans)
Sweet potato casserole is super easy, and you can even get a box at the store that is a kit!
Rolls!? Pillsbury should make that easy!.
Something you might offer as well is to bring a spiral ham (directions are on the ham) I know I've offered this at family thanksgivings and it allows the host to make a smaller turkey and spend less time cooking!. It also means variety!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
