Just the color of this recipe that I took from my cooking blog Savoir Faire The Pleasures of the Palate makes it mandatory at your Thanksgiving celebration. As good as it tastes, this is a super easy dish and makes a perfect side dish for the Holidays. Besides, you can make it in advance for Turkey Day…
