This butternut squash and feta gratin is the perfect side dish for any meal and it also makes for a nice light main!” - Kevin
5 Cheese Macaroni
“This has got to be the best mac & cheese I've ever had; it's a shame it's so hard to shred the muenster and I haven't been able to find it pre-shredded. It was so good though it doesn't matter about the muenster. Thanks for a winner and new family favorite!!” - Kat

My Mom's Bread Dressing (Stuffing)
“Whether you call it stuffing or dressing, this semi-homemade recipe is fantastic. We love the addition of sauteed celery, onion, and browned bacon. Bacon adds a little smokiness to the side dish. This recipe makes just the right amount to stuff the turkey and have an extra pan of dressing on the side. It's very adaptable and delicious.” - Kitchen Crew
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
“Who doesn’t love creamy, garlicky mashed potatoes? I definitely do. In this easy to make garlic mashed red potato recipe, red potatoes are quartered then boiled until soft. Drained and then mashed together with cream and butter. A fabulous comfort food that is perfect for any occasion.” - Carolyn

“This recipe has been known to transform Brussels sprouts haters into lovers! The dressing can be used for a green or potato salad or anything else that needs hot bacon dressing.” - Natalie
Low-Carb Loaded Baked Cauliflower
“I’m on Keto so all low-carb recipes are welcome! I made this and found it to be perfect for anyone who isn’t into spicy foods, but we like a little more umami in our dishes. I also didn’t add any additional salt, thinking the bacon and pork rinds would add enough, but I was wrong! Next time I’m going to use a little garlic and some red chili flakes for some *boom*! Very nice and easy recipe, thanks so much!” - Megan
Broccoli Rice Casserole
“This simple broccoli casserole is thick, creamy, cheesy and so good. Initially, we were a little concerned about the lack of seasoning, but the cheese and soup add tons of flavor. You can add a bit of salt and pepper when serving, but we thought it was yummy as is. We love the simplicity of this recipe. It's tasty and easy to make... a win, win. Plus, it doesn't make a huge dish which is great if you're not serving a crowd.” - Kitchen Crew
Sweet Potato Pie
“This is the best recipe! I was my great grandmother's. However, if you don't want to cook the sweet potatoes from scratch, use canned sweet potatoes and mash them. Of course, we top it with whipped cream!” - Kelsey
Caramel Apple Pecan Dump Cake
“An easy to make, delicious cake that has only 4 ingredients. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.” - Anita
Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
“This pumpkin pie cheesecake will be a scrumptious addition to your holiday baking. Simple to make, it combines classic pumpkin pie flavors with the silky creaminess of a cheesecake. We loved the soft and smooth texture and creamy pumpkin flavor in this dessert.” - Kitchen Crew
Chocolate Bourbon Pie
“Rich and decadent, this chocolate bourbon pie is amazing. We loved the addition of bourbon. It's slight but does add flavor. Once baked, a sugary crust forms on top. The layer of chocolate pecan gooeyness is similar to a pecan pie filling. Served warm with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream, and your family is going to fall in love with you even more than they already do. A simple pie to prepare, but your family will think you spent hours making it.” - Kitchen Crew
