Hello wonderful people! I come to ya'll tonight seeking some advice. I'm sitting here, attempting to make my shopping list for Thanksgiving dinner, but can't decide on a few dishes

Yeah, I agree. In my opinion, there was WAY too much oil in that recipe, but I had the same problems as you so I dunno.
My friend made the most amazingly delicious Brussels sprouts, apple and walnut salad that I'll be remaking for Thanksgiving. Note to mangiati_vivi: pears would work instead of apples, or just omit and use shallots, walnuts and sprouts.
Here's the 'recipe' she sent me (I'd say she probably used 1 pound of sprouts, and cooked the sprouts in 2 batches in a big frying pan):
For the brussel sprout salad, I sliced the sprouts in half and steamed them (I cooked mine for too long, they should be just underdone). Then I pan-seared them in olive oil and a couple cloves of crushed garlic, really letting the sliced sides get crispy. Just before removing them, I stirred in some maple syrup (1 tsp? 1 tbsp? a little goes a long way) and removed them from the heat before the sugar burned too much. Actually, it got pretty smoky. Good luck.
I added chopped fresh apple (I used half a medium-sized apple, something tart, sweet and crispy but I don't remember what kind) and walnuts pan-roasted with a pinch of salt and a little maple syrup. I can't remember if I added shallots, but they would be good in this. I made a dressing out of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lots of thyme, a pinch of cumin, 1-2 tsp of brown deli mustard and a tablespoon of maple syrup.
