Side Dishes
I’m pretty sure it’s mandatory that there be a potato dish containing cheese on every Holiday dinner table! However, when there’s just two or three of you for Easter dinner the last thing you want to do is make a huge casserole dish full of potatoes you’ll be eating for weeks! To help I created a smaller kicked-up version of the traditional holiday favorite!
You can have all the Thanksgiving trimmings…but if there’s no gravy…what are you going to drink with your meal? Those mashed taters need to be swimming in luscious lip smackin’ gravy made from the drippings of that luscious Thanksgiving Turkey! The turkey and stuffing can go for a swim too! Just sayin’…
There are a lot of side dishes that grace the company of the Turkey on Thanksgiving day. My favorite? The stuffing! A savory and moist stuffing is a must in my book! One that makes your eyes roll into the back of your head! This Sausage and Herb Stuffing is everything a stuffing should be and I’m sharing all my tips to making a fantastic stuffing!
Green and Gold Squash Casserole is a savory dish so full of flavor that it is instantly graduating to my “special” family recipe book! This is one tasty side dish my friends! Loaded with garden fresh zucchini, corn, and a light cheesy egg batter…it’s out of this world! Good enough it can be served as a Thanksgiving side dish…NO JOKE!
Raise your hand if you’re a Cafe Rio or Costa Vida Fan! (Man it’s hard to type with one hand!) Yep! I’m a Fresh Mex Lover and their flavorful pinto beans with hints of cumin and mildly spicy green chilies are one of my very favorites! This recipe is a perfect match…maybe even better! The flavors are out of this world.
Classic Coleslaw receives a much needed make-over in this spectacular recipe. The addition of blue cheese crumbles, bacon bits, tomato, and creamy ripe avocado make for a rich and flavorful slaw. It comes together in minutes with the help of prepared dressing and packaged coleslaw mix! This is NOT your typical coleslaw! Save that for the “in-laws”! lol

I say…when it comes to loaded Tater Tots…go BIG or GO HOME! I went BIG!
Fluff Salads speak to my inner salad soul! What’s not to love about a dessert that masquerades as a salad? Okay in all seriousness…this Strawberry Pineapple Fluff Jello Salad is light and creamy. Loaded with fresh chopped strawberries, pineapple bits, mini marshmallows, and topped off with coconut cookie crumbs it is truly a delightful spring time salad that your family will be requesting you bring to every Family Reunion this Summer! You? Well…you’re gonna wanna hide in the back of the closet with a spoon and have your own personal “Fluff Salad” party!
