How to Choose Side Dishes for Thanksgiving Success

Kristie LaLonde and MK Hennigan of In the Curious Kitchen discuss old and new Thanksgiving traditions, tied and true recipes, the best ingredients and more. MK recommends easy to make dishes to anyone who is just getting started hosting Thanksgiving and pitfalls to avoid. She also has tips to relieve stress, transportation of dishes and the likely uses of thanksgiving leftovers. Tune in to get the complete conversation……

 

MK Hennigan started In the Curious Kitchen in January 2020 to share with others what she learned so many years ago from the women in her family.
Some of her earliest memories are standing on a chair at the counter in my grandmother’s North Carolina kitchen. She didn’t just teach her to cook, she taught her that cooking is the catalyst to all good things in our homes, gathering, laughing, loving….

Now, MK recreates those heirloom recipes and honored ways in her own Kentucky kitchen. She sells her handcrafted bourbon balls, small batch pimiento and beer cheeses, and cocktail kits across the country for others to enjoy.
