Veggie Sides to Add to Your Feast

Posted: | Categories: Substack Archives | Tags:substack

On Thanksgiving, I fill my plate with salad and top it with all the rest of the delicious dishes. I shared a ton of my favorite veggie-packed recipes on Wednesday and wanted to send over a few more to inspire your menu. These easy dishes are great to make if you’re hosting—they’re simple and only require a few ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a last-minute grocery run. I’d love to hear what else you’re serving this year!

  • I’ve been looking for new go-to leggings for the longest time and finally found great ones from Athleta.

  • I got this ring and these bracelets and LOVE them. They’re a great way to dress up an outfit for holiday parties. (They’re on major sale right now—and you can get a free tennis bracelet.)

  • I’ve been taking creatine and collagen and already feel so much better. There’s a little bloating when you first start, but now that I’m feeling the benefits I love it. (Creatine is supposed to help with cognition and building muscle.)

  • I just got this AWESOME pair of sneakers.

Cukes & Beans

The fresher, brighter version of a green bean casserole.


Sesame Peas

I included these in the Friendsgiving menu on Wednesday, with good reason. They’re so fast to make, so if you look over and realize you have no green on the table, this solves it in minutes.


The Perfect Thanksgiving Salad

Add every color of the rainbow to your table with one delicious salad.


Crispy Brussels Sprouts

So simple, so easy, and so so delicious.


Sautéed Bok Choy

Another super simple, fast side. The leftovers are great with eggs.
