Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and we are trying out some recipes that we will use as sides this year. So far, my favorites are sweet potato casserole and this recipe for sweet cornbread muffins. I’ve included recipes for these Thanksgiving sides below!

Both recipes have been made using Country Crock Spread. Country Crock is my go to spread for all holiday dishes! It is creamy, flavorful, and contains no trans fat or hydrogenated oils.

Sweet Cornbread Muffins

These are a cornbread muffin with a sweet twist. My family devoured these muffins and they will most definitely be on every future Thanksgiving Day menu.

Sweet Cornbread Muffins

Ingredients:

    • 1 3/4 Cup Cornmeal
    • 1 1/2 Cup Flour
    • 3/4 Cup Sugar
    • 2 tsp Baking Powder
    • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
    • 3/4 tsp Salt
    • 2 Eggs
    • 3/4 Cup 2% MIlk
    • 1/4 Cup Buttermilk
    • 1/4 Cup Shortening
    • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
    • 1/3 Cup Country Crock Spread
  • 4 Tbsp Honey

Directions:

1. Preheat over to 375 degrees.

2. Combine all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and beat on Medium until well mixed. I use my mixer for this.

3. Line your muffin tin with liners and pour them 3/4 full with the batter.

4. Bake for 16-18 minutes.

5. Yields 24 Muffins.

Sweet Potato Casserole

I normally don’t care for sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving, but this recipe is delicious. If you have some family members who don’t like sweet potatoes, be sure to test this out on them to change their mind!

Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 3 Sweet Potatoes, Peeled and Cubed
  • 1/4 Cup Country Crock Spread
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Marshmallows

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.  Place cubed sweet potatoes into a pot with water and boil them until soft.

3. Drain water and add Country Crock spread, salt, and Vanilla Extract and mash using a potato masher.

4. Place in an 8×8 baking dish and top with marshmallows.

5. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until the marshmallows begin to toast on top.
