Food is an important part of almost every gathering we have. That is because food seems to bring people together. We laugh over food, cry over food, and ultimately make memories…over food. The importance of food during the holidays grows exponentially. Holiday traditions can come in the form of any type of food. For example, we eat turkey on Thanksgiving, ham on Christmas, we even toast with champagne on New Year’s Eve. That is why holiday side dishes are so important. The side dishes will help amplify the main dish or even become the main dishes on Christmas or New Year’s.
Holiday side dishes are meant to pair well with the star dish of any holiday. Traditions can come into play but ultimately taste is what’s important.
