SIDE DISHES FOR YOUR HOLIDAY FEAST

Roast turkey and baked ham have made a name for themselves as classic holiday dishes. It’s time to shine the spotlight on the sides! We’ve rounded up our best recipes to serve alongside your main this holiday season. 

Mashed potatoes are a family favourite and our Herb & Garlic Mashed Potatoes are sure to please. Make them your way and try these other winning flavours:  

  • 3 Onion, CCB, or Nacho Cheese, or Spinach Dip Mix  

  • SPG Seasoning 

  • Pesto Sauce Mix 

  • Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing Mix 

Let’s not forget the all-important Savoury Herb Gravy. Think of it as a side, for the side. Prep it in the microwave in under 5 min.  

Smashed Potatoes are another delicious way to enjoy spuds. Seasoned with Rosemary Garlic Seasoning and drizzled with Roasted Garlic Aioli. This could become a new family favourite.  

Hoping for something other than potatoes? Wild Rice with Cranberry and Orange is basically a walking billboard for the perfect, non-traditional holiday side. The bright and tart flavours of cranberries and crunch of pecans is sure to get you in the holiday spirit.  

Looking for something a little more basic? Cook rice or quinoa, season with Turmeric & Black Pepper.  

There’s always the classic Green Bean Casserole. Or, opt for a lighter option: Green Beans with Almonds. 

Roasted Rainbow Veggies are always a hit. If you want to try something new, our Roasted Radishes are quick to cook, pair perfectly with any of our seasonings and become super mellow and sweet in the oven. They also keep their beautiful colouring—a pop of pink is the perfect addition to the holiday table.  

Steaming is also a quick way to prepare veggies, try Holiday Brussels Sprouts & Apples, Steamed Mixed Vegetables, or Lemon Dilly Carrots.  

Serve a big, beautiful salad (or two!). While you might be scoffing at the idea of salad during the holidays, we’re talking entertaining-worthy, delicious greens that go beyond opening a package of Spring Mix. Try Apple Walnut Salad, Sheet Pan Caesar Salad, Warm Winter Salad or Beet & Goat Cheese Quinoa Salad.  

While we don’t want to upstage these amazing sides, our Multipurpose Steamer plays an important supporting role in the kitchen. Perfect for prepping, cooking, storing, and reheating!   

  • Ideal for mashed potatoes. Peel and chop potatoes; place in steamer and cover with cold water. When you’re ready to cook, simply drain, cook, mash, and serve in the steamer.    

  • Prep your salad ingredients ahead of time, and store in the steamer. Dress it just before serving and gently toss with the lid on. Tip: store your salad with heavy ingredients on the bottom, like beets or nuts, and top with greens.  

  • Reheat sides you prepared ahead of time, like veggies or gravy.  

  • Leftovers? No problem re-heat potatoes on the bottom veggies or protein on the Multipurpose Tray.
