Raise your hand if you are in need of all the easy side dishes right now? I feel like I have been making the same recipes over and over lately and last week I decided I wanted to try a few new recipes to switch things up! I ended up creating a dish with some asparagus that needed using up from the fridge and threw in some peas from the freezer along with some fresh herbs that I had, and the result was so good y’all! It was such a nice change from the usual roasted asparagus that I usually make, not to mention it takes about ten minutes total from start to finish so its kind of amazing. I figured that you probably needed this dish in your life too, you’re welcome. My easy asparagus and peas with herbs pairs perfectly with any protein you might be making and will quickly become one of your favorite dinnertime sides!
Potatoes in general are one of my favorite things to eat. I love them in all forms from baked, roasted, in hash brown form, mashed, as french fries (come to mama), and everything in between. I love that such a humble ingredient can truly be transformed into so many delicious ways. Potatoes are definitely something that I stock up on at the grocery store every week even when I have no idea what I will be doing with them. I almost always find a way to incorporate them into our weekly meals whether it be for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! One of my favorite special occasion potatoes are twice baked potatoes. I am not sure why I haven’t shared my recipe for the best twice baked potatoes with you until now, but the time is finally here and you are going to love them so much!
Greek style rice is simple, but full of flavor and turns out is super easy to make at home too. We eat rice several times a week and I love switching up the type of rice I make depending on the sort of meal I am making. One meal that I cook at home quite often is my chicken shawarma and Greek rice is a must make for a side dish. I started making this recipe at home after moving from Louisiana and when I no longer had access to our favorite Mediterranean restaurant and couldn’t find another restaurant that compared. I tested out this rice many of times before getting it just right, but finally found the perfect combo of flavors! Now my easy Greek rice is one of our favorite rice dishes and I know that you are going to love it too.
Green beans are a staple for a vegetable side dish at our house. There are so many ways to cook them, but I have found my favorite method and no other beans compare. These green beans are the kind of veggie side dish that you will want to make over and over again because they are just that good. We have them at least once a week at my house and eat them like they are French fries, true story! You will not have a problem getting your kiddos or any other picky eaters in your house to eat their green vegetables with a recipe like this. My Garlic and Shallot Green Beans are going to become your new favorite side to serve with almost every meal.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The time where friends and family come together around a table and share a special meal that is prepared with love. We get to reflect on the past year and all that we are thankful for. It’s the time where I am always reminded how quickly each year passes and how I want to soak up more moments spent with those I love the most, which is why I wanted our last Supper Club of the year to be a special Friendsgiving. This week will be all about sharing what we are thankful for, yummy food of course, and I will also be helping to get you prepared for your own Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving celebrations. I partnered with Village Farms to bring you two must make recipes this holiday season. My Autumn Panzanella Salad with a Citrus Sage Vinaigrette and my Tomato Cobbler with Cheddar Thyme Drop Biscuits are going to wow your guests and add a little something special to your holiday table.
Sweet potato casserole is one of those classic Thanksgiving sides that everyone has come to expect around the table. Traditionally it is made sweet to a point that it could almost pass as dessert. If this is your kind of sweet potato casserole, I’ve got you covered. However, if this is not your cup of tea, because you aren’t down with a side dish that could pass as a dessert, I also have you covered. I created a savory twist on the classic sweet potato casserole and I can tell you that you are going to love serving this dish up alongside that gorgeous turkey. My savory chipotle sweet potato casserole with a sourdough sage pecan bread crumb topping is sure to have your friends and family delighted this holiday season.
