Holiday-worthy sides that steal the show ✨


Hi Reader,

As much as I love juicy roasted turkey or sweet and savory glazed ham, holiday side dishes often steal the show.

The sides make an ordinary meal extraordinary, and for me, you can't beat fall side dishes.

Fall produce like butternut squash, apples, pears, pomegranate, cranberries and more always make every dish extra festive.

Whether you're looking for classics like mashed potatoes or something unique like parsnip puree or wild rice salad, you'll find it here.

I'm sharing some of my favorite recipes below, or you can browse all of my side dishes.
