Is stuffing your favorite holiday side dish? It’s mine—but a Sausage, Sage, and Cornbread Stuffing could very well become my new favorite. Some folks may not be too keen on canned cranberry sauce, but do try this homemade Cranberry Sauce. I’ll put money on the table that you’ll find yourself some converts. Maybe even add yourself among them. And for something a little over-the-top, how about Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes to set at both ends of the table?  Planning, preparing, and cooking a holiday meal can become overwhelming, but most of these Christmas side dishes lend themselves to making ahead, which allows you to also enjoy your time with your friends and family, in addition to cooking for them.  While getting back together with ones you love this year, let us focus on making your time in the kitchen easier and full of flavorful dishes everyone will enjoy.
