If you are looking for the best sides to go with your turkey, be sure to join us as Ms. Moore-Pastides walks us through deliciously healthy side dishes perfect for Thanksgiving. During the class, participants are encouraged to cook along with Ms. Moore-Pastides and test them out yourselves before Thanksgiving. We will have plenty of breaks for questions along the way and a Q&A after the session to ensure your food comes out perfectly.

Participants will receive recipes from the University of South Carolina Alumni Association (sent to the email used at registration) along with a list of ingredients to be purchased ahead of time after registration. The event will be held on Zoom. All registrants will receive a separate email from the University of South Carolina Alumni Association with the Zoom link.
