Ina Garten's Caramelized Shallots

: Quentin Bacon 3/10 Shallots take on a dulcet, docile personality when slowly coaxed to a caramelized brown. Easy to make. And easygoing by way of going well with just about anything.

Cranberry and Orange Relish

Velvet Mashed Potatoes

: Petrina Tinslay 5/10 No mere mash, this creamy potato purée owes its uber velvetiness to truly indecent amounts of butter and cream. And we mean that in the best possible way.
Recipe

Herbed Bread and Celery Stuffing

: Elena Veselova 6/10 A classic. Bread stuffing filled with celery, onion, thyme, basil, and parsley that's synonymous with Thanksgiving (though honestly, it's equally welcome all times of year with roast chicken).

Buttery Pull-Apart Rolls

: Mary Britton Senseney 7/10 These exceptionally airy pull-apart rolls bake up crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and, yes, light as a feather through and through.

Classic Green Bean Casserole

: Squire Fox 8/10 Green beans? Check. Creamy mushroomy sauce? Check. Can opener? Uh...no thank you. Not this Thanksgiving.
Recipe

Maple Pumpkin Pie

: Joseph De Leo 9/10 This is just about as traditional as tradition gets. Save for the slight plot twist of maple syrup. Intrigued? You should be.
Recipe

Classic Apple Pie

: Lairi Patterson 10/10 The secret to this classic? Could be the two types of apples, one tart and one sweet. Then again, the uber buttery pie crust ain't bad, either.
