The Best Sides for the Holidays!
I'm sharing my 15 Best Holiday Sides that have been passed down through the generations. I hope they will help you have a blessed holiday with your family!
What's the best part? Each dish pairs perfectly with ham, chicken, turkey or beef, so they make great side dishes no matter what the occasion.
Southern Deviled Eggs
At our house, every holiday meal starts with Deviled Eggs. My recipe includes savory cream cheese, which helps the filling stand up to piping.
Cranberry Pecan Salad
It’s not the holidays unless Cranberry Pecan Salad is on the table! This congealed salad is packed with cranberry, pineapple and pecan yumminess.
The Best Squash Casserole
Creamy squash casserole has to be one of the best comfort foods ever! This recipe is made with no condensed soup! Top it with buttery crackers, and it will be gone in a flash.
Maple Bourbon Glazed Carrots
Rainbow Salad will make you eat your veggies! But, the greatest part of all is how easy it is to create. All you do is start chopping and layering.
Lemon Butter Asparagus
Tangy and bold, this asparagus dish will have your family saying ‘ooooh’ and ‘ahhhh’ and begging for more.
Loaded Hash Brown Casserole
Loaded Hash Brown Casserole tastes just like a loaded baked potato! It's cheesy, bacon-filled goodness is perfect to serve as a side to any protein.
Taylor's Collard Greens
Taylor’s Collard Greens are the perfect side to your southern holiday meals. They’re tender, yet crunchy…and oh, so yummy!
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Garlic Mashed Potatoes puts all the other sides to shame! This recipe feeds a large crowd, so it’s a great side for holidays and leftovers.
Sweet Potato Casserole
Creamy Sweet Potato Casserole topped with pecan streusel and mini marshmallows tastes so good…it’s like eating dessert first!
Southern Corn Pudding
The best Corn Pudding only has a few simple ingredients. Try this recipe if you want to give your family a taste of the garden!
Broccoli Cheese Casserole
Try my Broccoli Cheese Casserole if you want to skip adding condensed soup. It has none of the ingredients you can’t pronounce, and it's so YUM!
Honey-Mustard Brussels Sprouts
I’m gonna make a disclaimer about these Honey-Mustard Brussels Sprouts before I go any further. They’re BEYOND GOOD…and they’re FRIED.
Homestyle Mac & Cheese
Homestyle Mac & Cheese is ready in a snap when you have one of those cravings for creamy, cheesy goodness.
Strawberry Pecan Salad
Strawberry Pecan salad with berries, feta and greens is absolutely delicious. Add pecans for crunch, and you’ve got the perfect holiday treat!
