Christmas Side Dish Recipes

“Original from my mother. As I grew up, we got this on Sundays after church, usually with a roast or fried chicken. Love Southern cookin’!” – Linda

“Over the years I have learned to make wonderful things that my family and friends get to enjoy. The easiest one—and most frequent—that I make are dinner rolls. These sweet, buttery, warm, soft rolls are the best I have ever had anywhere and, while it may sound like bragging, every one of my friends and family agrees. They rock.” – Lori

“Some people don’t like Brussels sprouts, but I happen to love them. And this recipe will make a believer out of anyone. I always make it for Thanksgiving and other special dinners.” – Susan

“I have had this recipe for years now, it’s very rich and fattening. I prefer the cream to evaporated milk, but you can cut some fat by using the milk instead. That’s why I only make it at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.” – Monica

“This is the recipe I use when I make Prime Rib. I never go without Yorkshire pudding when I make Prime Rib. This uses the rendered juices from the roast. Perfect for soaking up the great Au Jus that the roast renders! This method is a do-ahead method for the batter. Then you can make them when the roast is resting after coming out of the oven.” – Deb

“These creamy mashed sweet potatoes are savory and slightly sweet. They are rich and buttery, the perfect side for all occasions.” – Debbie

“I love my turnips cooked like this they are very tasty.” – Patsy

“My family asks me for 2 things for the holiday meal. My dressing recipe and my broccoli casserole.” – Kay

“There are no better scalloped potatoes than these. I took them to a Christmas party and everyone asked for the family recipe.” – Cindy

“I created a fantastic new recipe to use my turnips and leeks. Turnips are a highly underrated vegetable and can easily take the place of potatoes in a number of recipes. If you’ve been hesitant about trying turnips, give this yummy, creamy, and cheesy dish a try.” – Sherry

“Some of the green bean casseroles I have made over the years have been just plain boring. I have tried many different ones, adding this ‘n that, trying to jazz it up or add something to make it “a little different from the rest.” So far, this is my favorite and we have been having this for holiday dinners for several years. I have had compliments and been asked for the recipe when bringing it to potluck dinners. I usually double the recipe for larger groups.” – Dene

“Our daughter made this for us using a mixture of carrots and parsnips.” – Marilyn

“I first had these little biscuits at a quaint mountain restaurant. This is my own version. I use baked sweet potato, which I think is super yummy and keeps them tender and light. You will fall in love with them! Great with a little slice of country ham or a slather of compound butter made with cinnamon and brown sugar. Sure to be a hit during the holiday season. Be forewarned though, these little biscuits are highly addictive!” – Millie

“My family has been making this for years. We don’t have a holiday without it. It is so good even all the kids love it.” – Kari

“A sweet and salty, melt-in-your-mouth butternut squash gratin with plenty of Feta!” – Kevin
