Holiday meals wouldn’t be holiday without the sides, the stuffing, the gravy, the potatoes, the cranberry sauce. The same every year, treasured family recipes. It’s remarkable how many of those family dishes actually came out of a box or a can (canned cranberry sauce plopped into a saucepan, not bad, really).
We can do better. Several of our most creative chefs are ready to help. Perhaps you’re not up to making gnocchi for the hols but roasting sweet potatoes with some delicious embellishments? Child’s play.
