Last Minute Thanksgiving Side Dish Idea with Boston Market and #HolidayExperts ($200 GC Giveaway!)

With Thanksgiving just a couple of days away you might be scrambling. Things to prep and cook and maybe even your tablescape isn’t complete yet either. Stress levels are on high but they don’t have to be.
This year, thankfully, I don’t have to prepare the entire thanksgiving meal. My parents are hosting this year and it’s my job to bring a side dish. With a house to run and 3 kids to take care of I don’t have all the time in the world. So I decided to cut some corners with Boston Market.

I’m not alone though, Boston Market served more than 1 million people last Thanksgiving, and expect to serve more than 1 million again this year!

To help out those you want a little help this Thanksgiving Boston Market keeps its doors open for select hours on Thanksgiving day. You never know what you might have forgotten to put on your menu so you can stop in and let Boston Market cater your holiday meal.

If you plan to dine-in Boston Market offers you the choice of roasted turkey breast or half signature rotisserie chicken with two home-style sides, freshly baked cornbread and a slice of apple or pumpkin pie for just $11.99. If you order ahead for Thanksgiving or even your Christmas meal you can get a whole roasted turkey meal with all the fixins’ for 12 people for only $99.99!!

Now what was I going to do about my side dish? Well this year Boston Market has teamed up with Women’s Basket Hall of Fame star Lisa Leslie to provide some holiday tips and recipes using Boston Market sides as the main ingredient.

Boston Market’s items are prepared using fresh, high-quality ingredients so I knew I was already getting a great tasting product but how could I tweak something to make it more “home-made”? We LOVE mac & cheese and since we will have a lot of kids at Thanksgiving I made some easy and quick adjustments.
