I love roasted sweet potatoes - peel and dice sweet potatoes in 1.5" chunks, slice a onion toss them together in a casserole dish with some EVOO and bake uncovered at 350 until the sweet potatoes are tender. Yum!!

I think you've got the have the sweet potatoes with the marshmallows. Disgusting and delicious in my view.
And don't forget the pie! My lastest favorite is Key Lime.
You need 9 limes with all their juice and all their zest + 2 cans of Eagle sweet condensed milk + a graham cracker crust, bake it for 1/2 hour at 350.
Disgustingly delicious, super unhealthy, looks fancy with some small wedges of lime on top and a few blobs of real whipped cream.
It will disappear!

Here's one that's always on our holiday table. We call it "Betty Salad" (because she always used to make it.)
Chopped broccoli
Chopped red onion
Crumbled crispy bacon
Shredded cheddar cheese
Dressing: Mayo+red wine vinegar+sugar.

...strips of bacon dipped both sides in brown sugar then baked.
I've never heard of doing that, but it sounds sinfully delicious!!! 
Here's something called Amish Salad that I always get asked to bring to family dinners. I guess you would call it a type of slaw.
1 quart sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup water
Mix vegetables together. Mix sugar, oil, vinegar, and water in saucepan and heat until well-blended. Pour over mixture. This will be best if refrigerated for a day or so before serving, to allow the liquid to marinate the vegetables.

Betty, I'm with you. My top two pies are pumpkin and Key lime!! 
All the sides sound good to me. Tracy's sounds yumbo, with blanched broccoli, and Cheri's sounds very good. I love sauerkraut, partly for its weird consistency (crunchy-chewy). It sounds like dressed-up sauerkraut! That's a lot of sugar. I'm wondering how sweet is is. Kinda like cole slaw for sweetness?
Mara, we are already having that ... we always do! Usually a couple other root vegs are added, too, but the base is sweet potato and onion chunks.

You're right, Connie, that is a lot of sugar. I would say it's a bit sweeter than traditional cole slaw, but the vinegar gives it a bit of tang. I've never tried this, but you could probably cut back the amount of sugar a bit. Since you mix the dressing separately on the stove top, you could sample it as you go along and just add sugar to your desired taste.
Also, the dressing is very liquidy and doesn't really cling like a mayo-based dressing, so if you serve it with a slotted spoon, you're getting mostly the marinated vegetable part and not a huge dose of the sweet dressing.
Lots of great ideas here. I'm getting hungry!

By god, I love sauerkraut. The good kind. I have a friend that does homemade.
Key Lime Pie sounds far easier than I expected.
I'm making pumpkin pie and apple crumb pie for the table, the rest is up to my mother in law this year. I'm glad she's a good cook

I think I will test the marinade/dressing beforehand. (The party is a couple of weeks away (but it's like a combo Turkey-Day/Christmas/Hanukkah "November-December Party" ... so that's the kind of food we do.)
I'll get some Bragg's cider vinegar (yum) and try it with cabbage so the test results can be eaten as slaw.
It sounds like the kind of thing I will love.
I am also planning on a stuffing casserole. My favorite part of the meal (after the pies, of course!).
"Lots of great ideas here. I'm getting hungry!"
Me too! 
I've gotten some of my best recipes on dog webboards, interestingly enough.

So do I, Kristin.
Anyone who can get this brand http://farmhouseculture.com/ should, IMHO.
I get it at the farmers' market in bulk (it's a local company) and also at the grocery store. I'm partial to the "classic caraway."
And about the Key lime pie .... I've never met a dessert based on sweetened condensed milk that I didn't like.

I just looked at the ingredients for another type of slaw we make here, the dressing also made with vinegar, oil, and sugar, and it calls for waaay more vinegar than sugar. So I think it's sort of a sliding scale on the sweet-to-tart ratio, and it's going to be up to your own personal taste. I find that I often tweak recipes to my own preferences!
Pumpkin pie, apple pie, key lime pie, OH MY!!!  All sound yummy. I have to put a plug in here for my own personal favorite, cheesecake. I know it's called cake, but it's really pie, IMO.
