The comfort of the hot cheesy side dishes filling up your festive plate on the Holidays! All of the sides below are easy, most make ahead and all sooo indulgent! Hope these recipes make your holiday dinner smile!

1) Coconut Creamed Kale with Bacon

I use kale because it is really easy to cook. With fresh spinach, you have to cook down a huge amount to get enough for this recipe, and if you use frozen spinach, you have to defrost and drain. With kale, you just drop it in. The coconut milk adds a touch of tropical sweetness. GET THE RECIPE

2) Garlic Parmesan Stove Top Stuffing

This is dedicate to my mom, who makes the best stuffing in the world. Her secret is bagged stuffing mix and lots of flavor. I definitely cannot make stuffing like her but every bite reminds me of the fun Thanksgivings at her house eating her stuffing. Here is an easy cheesy version of my moms. GET THE RECIPE

3) 3 Ingredient Mac and Cheese

All the happy ingredients go to a bowl and we mix with the pasta and know that dinner was so easy. GET THE RECIPE

4) Slow Cooker Dinner Rolls

My fellow non bakers I have a gift for you: Slow cooker dinner rolls. Grab pre-made dough and you will look like the baking champion! I never made a bread recipe before because exact measuring is not my thing (cooking confessions lol). When I heard you could make a dinner roll in a slow cooker I was super intrigued. GET THE RECIPE

5) Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper Mac and Cheese

The slow cooker, or what I call a personal chef because it cooks your food for you while you are at work, makes amazingly creamy and delicious mac and cheese. Simple mac and cheese can bring a smile to just about anyone, but I want you and your family to jump out of your seats with excitement so I made for you jalapeno popper mac and cheese!

First, when asked what would be the best go-to potato for cooking, my answer is almost always the Yukon gold potato! They are packed with buttery fluffy flavor and texture that is hard to mess up. Second, because we are using Yukon gold potatoes there is no peeling required. GET THE RECIPE
