Everyone seems to have staple main dishes for the holidays. Whether your family sits down to a turkey dinner, or a roast, you probably know from year-to-year what you’ll be making for your holiday meals. One of the easy places you can really raise the bar and impress your guests is by kicking your side dishes up a few notches. Here are some classics and some great new additions to try!
I make these stuffed mushrooms [1] every year for the holidays and think I’ve made enough to go around and every year they disappear faster than you can say Mycophagy. Delicious, pop-in-your-mouth goodness!
Stuffing is a holiday go-to dish [2] that can be found on so many holiday tables. It’s always great to have a classic recipe in your back pocket.
Potato latkes [3] are a delicious treat that always let the kids know it must be time to celebrate. Erica shares her grandmother’s recipe for this delicious side dish. Try them with sour cream and apple sauce!
A small twist on a couple of holiday favourites, this sweet potato dish [4] marries together sweet potatoes into a gratin. The chipotle cream sauce makes this HIGHLY addictive! You’ve been warned.
Horseradish is such a great ingredient—it helps excite the palette and lifts up whatever main dish you serve it up with. This simple recipe [5] was initially posted for Passover but is great at any holiday gathering!
