Thanksgiving sides in Lake Tahoe
By: Lake Tahoe Staff
Everyone equates Thanksgiving with roasted turkey, but in my universe, the day of thanks is all about the sides. At home, our table is piled high with roasted Brussels sprouts, homemade cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, yams, two kinds of dressing, and of course, pies.
But what if you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen? Enjoy all of the family togetherness — with none of the baking burnout — and make reservations at one of our favorite Lake Tahoe restaurants! You know they’ll have turkey, so I went through the offerings and have listed some of the more delicious-sounding sides.
