Holiday Helpers: Gobble Thanksgiving A La Carte Sides
Thanksgiving is in the air! It’s no secret that it’s our favorite holiday – after all, have you seen our name? The big feast is undoubtedly our favorite part, but we believe Thanksgiving goodness deserves more than just one day. And between work potlucks, Friendsgiving dinners, and smaller feasts with different sets of family and friends, there’s never been so many opportunities to enjoy.
Unfortunately, it also means your head home chef has to come up with a whole lot of dishes, survive the grocery crowds, and prepare for a busy, busy month in the kitchen. Luckily, we’re here to help. This year, we’re celebrating the return of our easy, gourmet Thanksgiving A La Carte Sides – the perfect plates to bring as a guest, add seasonal fun to a weeknight dinner, or just reduce the big day’s workload by a dish or two.
These stand-alone sides will be available to order as part of your normal weekly delivery on our 11/11, 11/18, and 11/25 menus. If you’re not a Gobble member already, be sure to sign up to get access to these effortless, delicious sides!
