Thanksgiving meal preparation can be tiring and may bring out the worst in us while preparing the meal. It may sound crazy, but without any help and add the time pressure while preparing the food can put us on a beast mode. Lol! I know, I feel like I'm being negative and talking nonsense, however, thanksgiving is supposed to be fun to prepare especially when you are getting help from your significant other or with anyone from your family.

Thanksgiving should not be all about the mom or just your wife preparing the meal. It can be a family thing, except if she doesn't want you to mess anything up then better to leave her alone. If she wants everything to be perfect then let her do her thing. But, please offer some help. 

One way to prevent this from happening is by doing some dishes that tastes good and definitely not time-consuming. Believe me! You will have more time to mingle, less of a cooking monster and look like an expert. An expert in a way that you make fast, tasty and easy to prepare amazing dishes.

We may go a bit out of the box or it may be just a twist from the traditional thanksgiving meal, but it should taste as good or even better.

Here is our list of 10 Non-Traditional Side Dishes for Thanksgiving 2015.
