Sides. Even the word indicates an afterthought. Not at Thanksgiving. Nope. Sides can really be some of the best things of the entire meal. Give me turkey, though, I gotta have it. And, honestly, for me, Thanksgiving is really about traditions. Maybe your mom made the best candied yams or your uncle was the bird carver? For me, it’s about that dollop of sauerkraut (this is Baltimore, after all) to remind me of my sweet dad. He was the absolute best.

Thanksgiving comes with its own set of questions: How many cooks can fit in the kitchen? How do you feed a large crowd a sizeable whole turkey along with all the sides and serve everything at once? A 15 pound turkey usually takes up two thirds of a normal size oven for a good 4 to 5 hours. The most delicious answer to this problem is to cook the turkey on your outdoor grill which will free the oven up for all of your side dishes—in fact, in my family, it wouldn't be a holiday meal without my dad and I cooking a chipotle-based turkey on my Weber charcoal grill!

According to Psychology Today, when faced with choosing where to sit at the dining table, each guest sends unspoken messages to the guests sitting around them. Sitting near the middle suggests a level of approachability and collaborativeness, whereas sitting at either end is a power position—and by becoming the presumed leader, guests will be looking to the head to propose the toast.

The spring holidays of Easter and Passover will soon be here, along with all of the traditions we love and savor. Each holiday has its unique features; however, both have a versatile and delicious common denominator. The egg, a symbol of new life and rebirth, makes its way to celebrations of Passover, beginning March 30, and Easter, April 1. The age-old question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" sheds new light during the spring holidays and has gotten way more complicated.
