A note about serious food allergies
Bring a bit of uniqueness to your Thanksgiving dinner with these two original sides, perfect compliments to your turkey or any other protein (or not protein) you'll be serving your friends and family. Wild rice mixed with a vegetable medley of carrots and Brussels sprouts would be good enough for most, but not the party you're throwing. Therefore, we've added sweet cranberries and salty pistachios, augmenting a side of champions. But don't collect your trophy yet; there are more rewards coming for these cheesy potatoes, topped with a crunchy pretzel topping that you'll soon be sprinkling over all your potato dishes. In the end, you'll have happy diners wondering where you came up with such different culinary ideas. We'll keep your secret.
