What's your favorite side/veggie recipe?
I've noticed that there is a thread for soup recipes and one for chili recipes. I was wondering if there were any for side dishes and/or veggie sides? If not, maybe we could start one! I need some inspiration :)

Well Rebekah beat me to it.
Here's my latest favorite...I leave out the Thyme Leaves...found this around Thanksgiving.
Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Prep: 5 min - Cook: 10-30 min
2 pounds sweet potatoes, washed and dried
2 tablespoons softened butter
2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Thyme Leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Pierce each potato twice with a fork so excess steam can escape while cooking. Microwave* potatoes on HIGH 5-10 minutes or until tender, turning potatoes over halfway through cooking. Let stand 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
2. Remove the skin from the potatoes. Place potatoes and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; mash until smooth and well blended.
* Potatoes can also be boiled. To boil, cut potatoes into pieces and place in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover 1-inch over potatoes. Bring to a boil; cover and cook over medium-low heat 15-30 minutes or until tender. Drain.
Makes 4 (3/4 cup) servings
