With Thanksgiving and Christmas both already upon us… almost… we thought we should round up our favorite Holiday dinner side dish recipes.

We hope this will help you find the perfect side-dish to go with your Holiday feast.

You’ll notice squash is a re-occurring ingredient in these holiday recipes. It’s the perfect fall food. It’s really a filling comfort food and as you’ll see the dishes with squash add a lot of color to your holiday dinner table. Most of the recipes are vegetarian and also gluten-free if you don’t add croutons or other wheat based products.

It’s a simple variation. We add broccoli and some sautéed mushrooms to it. And we don’t just put the cheese on top. We mix it inside with the ingredients as well.

Butternut squash soup is one of my favorite soups, especially in the fall and winter months. Simply cut the squash in half lengthwise and roast it in the oven. Scrape the roasted flesh from the skin, and simmer it with sautéed yellow onion, fresh sage, and a tart Granny Smith apple. Finally puree it in a blender and top with some heavy cream.

Try serving it in a bread bowl as pictured for a more attractive presentation.

With this delicious cornbread stuffing recipe, you don’t have to wait until you have a turkey to stuff to make it.

Try using a carved out pumpkin a the serving dish to liven up your table.

Pumpkin soup doesn’t seem to make an appearance on dinner tables too often, but it should.

It’s delicious and creamy with a similar consistency to our butternut squash soup recipe.

Give it a try this holiday season!

I don’t think acorn squash soup is thought of too often. But it is just as delicious as butternut squash soup.

A tip: roast some extra acorn squash to use as bowls to serve the soup in. It will look so much more appetizing on your holiday table that way!
