LAST MINUTE SIDE DISH FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Nothing makes me break out in a sweat like a request to bring a side dish. My first stop is always Pinterest and then panic pinning on Pinterest. And that is how I found this butternut squash side dish for the holidays.
Finding a three-ingredient recipe was like a dating app for side dishes. It was an instant match between squash and cinnamon.
If you are part of the Everyday Edits club you know I have a history with off the rails recipes.
My favorite Friends Thanksgiving episode was when Rachel started a recipe for a trifle and by no fault of her own, ended up with a Shepherd’s Pie.
I am more likely to just skip an ingredient or start with one recipe and finish with the recipe directly below the first one I started.
I need Babs in my kitchen. Or my friend Michelle who can create a dinner for her family with the contents of her fridge and pantry.
