Side dish

For a long time, side dishes were an afterthought for me. It felt like too big of a lift to come up with a main dish AND a side dish for every meal, so usually my sides were thrown together at the last minute and lackluster at best.

The past few years I’ve made it a goal to up my side dish game with dishes that feel approachable and easy enough to tackle alongside whatever else you might be cooking up for the evening. Some of my favorites include this Sauteed Zucchini and Goat Cheese (so simple, it’s done in a flash!) and Skillet Garlic Green Beans. You also can’t go wrong with Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower.

I’ve also included plenty of side dish recipes to take to cookouts and holiday gatherings. Don’t miss out on the Best Seven Layer Salad or our popular Easy Cheesy Potatoes. You might just find these side dishes steal the show!
