In this week’s roundup, we’re sharing our favorite ways to switch up your holiday side dish spread. From a spiced potato gratin to Dijon lentils, cook up our picks for these warming, seasonal favorites.
- Brandon Matzek of Kitchen Konfidence uses winter’s harvest to his advantage by pan-caramelizing Brussels sprouts in olive oil until crisp and golden and then topping them off with a sprinkle of Parmesan (pictured above).
- Sweet potatoes, baking potatoes and fragrant cumin come together in this cheesy Two Potato, Chili, and Cumin Gratin from KO Rasoi.
- Jessica Jones of Jonesing For… creates a dish that’s as frugal as it is delicious with her Warm Dijon Lentils.
- Mix cream cheese and jalapeños into your corn for a sweet and warming Mexican Corn side dish by Pip & Ebby.
- Pilaf gets a colorful and aromatic twist in A Life of Spice‘s Red Rice Pilaf made with chicken stock and Bay leaves.
- Dinner With Julie turns ordinary sweet potatoes into pillowy bites in Gnocchi with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms.
Thank you so much for the much mention. Have a great weekend!

A fabulous rainy Sunday dinner with a slow braised pork shoulder in apple juice, chicken stock, tomato sauce, red wine and herbs. Finished with roasted red peppers, carrots, apples, parsnips, onions and garlic. Served over creamy mashed potato’s and the wonderful reduction from the braising juices…..
WOW!!!
Butternut squash cubed and tossed with tyme, pepper, salt , honey and a little canola oil. Bake on a greased pan and serve……
Wonderful!!!!

I used Brandon/Kitchen Konfidence’s recipe for the Golden Brussels Sprouts for my husband’s birthday and they are SO good! Kitchen Konfidence always has wonderful recipes that are beautifully presented, glad you gave him a mention!
Brandon’s recipes are awesome, thank you for featuring him.
I’m gong to have to try Brandon’s recipe for brussel sprouts. They are my favorite veggie. We usually prepare them in the oven, or on our grill. The thought of eating them carmelized – oh dear….
