Top 5 Sides for the Holidays -These side dish recipes are perfect for all your holiday gatherings! Top 5 Sides for the Holidays -These side dish recipes are perfect for all your holiday gatherings!

I get asked all the time what are my go-to side dishes for the holidays.  Well, folks these 5 recipes are the tried and true around here.  They are the dishes that I can’t wait to make all year, so a lot of times they make another appearance!

Layered Salad

Up first is this Layered Salad.  It’s first for a reason folks.  It is pretty much a no-brainer that I will be making it for Thanksgiving.  I love it because I make it the night before, which cuts down on stress.  I use all green vegetables in mine too:  iceberg, green bell pepper, green onions, cucumber, celery, and frozen green peas.  These are all topped with an easy ranch dressing I make, shredded cheese, and bacon pieces.

Baked Potato Casserole | Diary of a Recipe Collector

Up next, I love this Baked Potato Casserole.  It’s not just a perfect holiday side, it makes a wonderful side for steak night and barbecue.  It’s truly a winning recipe.  The recipe doesn’t exactly have traditional baked potato ingredients, but I promise all you baked potato lovers will love it!  I also have a slow cooker version as well!

Corn & Zucchini Casserole - Diary of a Recipe Collector

We are corn people in my family, so it is no wonder I’ve included this Corn and Zucchini Casserole.  Corn side dishes will always make an appearance.   This recipe is one of my favorites because it has a little zucchini in there too!  It’s a cornbread stuffed with all kinds of buttery goodness!   I have an Instagram Reel making this one here!

Vidalia Onion Cornbread Muffins

Love this cheesy oniony recipe!  This Vidalia Onion Cornbread is great as muffins, but also makes a great 9 x 9 dish.  It’s got a few special touches like sautéed onions and sour cream that make this recipe so great!  If you are feeding a crowd, I would double the recipe.  I have little reel of this one too!

Cranberry Cups - The perfect way to make cranberry sauce pleasing for everyone!  This recipe uses strawberry jello and crushed pineapple to create a wonderful cranberry fruit salad in a muffin cup.  These are great for individual servings! 

Okay, now these Cranberry Cups are perfect for all those that have not really been fans of the can stuff in the past.  I promise this recipe is so much better!!  It has strawberry jello folks!  Plus, we add in a little pineapple and use the whole berry sauce.  It’s not the holidays without them!

I’ll be back tomorrow with my Top 5 Desserts!!!

Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!
