25 Favorite Thanksgiving Sides
خلاصہ: 25 Favorite Thanksgiving Sides
If there’s one thing we all know to be true about Thanksgiving, it’s this: the turkey may technically be the main event, but the sides… the sides are where the magic lives. Creamy, savory, crispy-topped, buttery, veggies and carbs piled high on a plate – that’s the Thanksgiving energy we’re all really here for. 🧡
This collection brings a mix of cozy classics and a few fun twists — because sometimes Thanksgiving calls for tradition, and sometimes it calls for a little zhuzh. And the best part? So many of these dishes are naturally vegetarian, which means the people at your table who pass on the turkey will still be fully living their best Thanksgiving life. Think fluffy potatoes, saucy green beans, pillowy gnocchi, warm and toasty breads, and salads that actually feel exciting.
These are the sides that make the feast feel extra special. Let’s plate ’em up!

Zuppa Toscana
خلاصہ: Zuppa Toscana
Just a Reminder That Zuppa Toscana Is One Of The All Time Greats.
A few nights ago, Bjork and I sat down for dinner with the girls. It’s pitch black out. Freezing cold and windy.
On the stove: a Dutch oven with browned bits of sausage, tender potatoes, and wilted kale, all wrapped in a a creamy, rich, slurpable broth. House smells amazing, we’re all feeling real cozy.
I ladled steamy zuppa toscana into bowls. Handed out chunk of warm, crusty bread. There’s buttering, there’s soup dunking, and honestly, just silence and clinking bowls and spoons.
And then there’s this moment where we looked at each other and almost started laughing, like, “oh my gosh. this is so good right now.”
Zuppa toscana (the one I’m channeling here) is the Italian-American classic Olive Garden soup that we all know and love. But it hits really different when homemade.
The thing I want you to know most of all is that the broth here is BROTHY. It’s creamy while being highly slurpable. When you dip a piece of bread in there, it’s going to sop, soak, saturate in the best way. (I have a very similar recipe – sausage, kale, and white bean stew – which is highly rated and I love it. But the difference is that one tends to be thicker. This one is truly brothy.)
We’re talking *MINIMAL* ingredients. Humble simplicity. Just the easiest recipe ever, and somehow the end result is just so incredibly delicious.
Wishing you a cozy zuppa toscana night with lots of bread!
Welcome To My (NEW) Kitchen! Let’s Make This Zuppa Toscana.
1
Brown The Sausage, Onions, and Garlic.
I start with the sausage, then add onions and garlic. Let it cook down for a good 5-10 minutes until super soft.
2
Add Potatoes and Broth.
I add water and then use Better Than Bouillon for my broth base!
3
Add Kale and Cream.
Let it hang out over a low simmer so all the flavors lock in and the kale wilts down.
4
You’re Done!
This is such a great moment. Soup, bread, coziness at its peak.

Ingredients
Units

Zuppa Toscana:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. ground mild Italian pork sausage
1 onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 3–4 cups)
6 cups chicken broth (see notes)
2 stalks of kale, stems removed, finely chopped (2–3 cups)
3/4 cup heavy cream
To Season / Serve:
salt and pepper to taste
freshly grated Parmesan
crusty bread with butter (this one is so easy – or just a store-bought take and bake loaf!)
Cook Mode
Prevent your screen from going dark
Instructions
Sausage: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Brown the sausage until fully cooked.
Onions and Garlic: Add the onions and garlic to the sausage. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and fragrant. FYI your house will smell AMAZING.
Potatoes and Broth: Add the potatoes and the broth. Simmer for 7-10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. (Be careful not to let it go for too long, because the potatoes will start to get really soft.)
Finish with Cream: Add the kale and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes until kale has wilted.
Serve: Season with salt and pepper, top with Parmesan for even more flavor, and dunk into that glorious broth with hot crusty bread.
Notes
Broth: I always use 6 cups water + 2 tablespoons Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor base. It’s amazing. Highly recommend. If you’re not using this, you’ll probably need to add a bit more salt.
Pork Fat: This soup will have small beads of the pork fat distributed throughout the soup and/or pearling on top of the soup. That’s a good thing – it is a sign of both amazing flavor and a luscious mouthfeel. These will incorporate as it gently bubbles, and they will rise to the surface as it cools. To re-incorporate, just heat it back up again and give it a stir.
Bacon: Hot take, but I don’t think it’s necessary which is why I didn’t include it. You get so much flavor already from the pork sausage. I have never eaten this and wished it had bacon in it.
Potato Peels vs. No Peels: If you want to save a bit of time, use baby potatoes and just cut them into quarters – you don’t have to peel them! It has a slightly different, more earthy taste (as potato peels do), but can confirm, it’s still delicious.
White Wine: For weeks now, I’ve considered adding white wine to this recipe to deglaze the pan after the sausage, onion, and garlic; in my mind, it would add a nice layer of acidity to a very savory, rich broth. However, I have made this so many times and never had white wine in the house on any of the times, and I have loved every batch so much exactly as it is. Let me know if you try it with white wine in there!

Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi
خلاصہ: Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi
This recipe is sponsored by DeLallo!
I Knew My Husband Would Love This Meal.
But I didn’t want to set him up, so I just waited to see his reaction to see if I was right – and after one bite he was like “whoa, that’s good.”
Juicy pan-fried chicken with the golden exterior, nestled into a creamy gnocchi with the flavor of shallot and tomato and cream? Yes, sir. You are correct. That is very, very delicious.
I’m team Store-Bought Gnocchi for this one to keep it really simple for a weeknight. DeLallo is my go-to for many Italian items, including gnocchi! They have mini gnocchi, regular gnocchi, gluten-free gnocchi?! So many options to choose from. Locally in the Twin Cities I was able to find a lot of selections at Cub Foods! Otherwise you can order online.
We served this with a simple green salad per usual, and it was a perfect little family dinner that only took 30 minutes. Bjork and I cleaned our plates, and one of my daughters went back for seconds on the gnocchi.
Also can confirm this works great with chicken meatballs!
This definitely has a Marry Me flavor profile, and the flavors are just too good.
Hope you love it!
How To Make This Chicken and Gnocchi
1
Pan Fry the Chicken.
I use two chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally so they’re thinner, and just coat them really well with an all-purpose spice mix.
2
Cook Down Your Shallots.
Set the chicken aside and just use the same pan!
3
Add Gnocchi and Broth.
Let it all cook for a few minutes! One pan wonder!
4
Add Cream and Spinach.
And salt, pepper, thyme, Parmesan, and any other things you like in there. Red pepper flakes are great.
5
Chicken Goes Back In.
Showstopper. It’s beautiful and so cozy.

Description
Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi that is fast, easy, and so luscious! Serve with a simple green salad, and you’ve got dinner!
Ingredients
Units
USM
Chicken:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. chicken breasts, pounded thin, or thinly sliced as pictured
1 tablespoon seasoning of choice (I like the McCormick rotisserie chicken seasoning)
Gnocchi:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced or minced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained (love DeLallo’s!), or similar (see notes)
12 ounces store-bought gnocchi (I use DeLallo gnocchi)
2 cups chicken broth (more as needed)
1/2 cup cream
1 cup packed spinach leaves, torn into smaller pieces
Finishers:
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh thyme, to taste
grated Parmesan, to taste
Cook Mode
Prevent your screen from going dark
Instructions
Chicken: Heat the oil in a large, wide skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken on both sides (you may need more than 1 tablespoon depending on your seasoning blend – I usually just eyeball it until they’re evenly coated). Add chicken to the hot pan; cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165 degrees F). Remove chicken and set aside.
Shallots: In the same pan, add the oil, shallots, and sun dried tomatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes until the shallots are golden and softened.
Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi and broth. Simmer for another 5 minutes, until the gnocchi are tender.
Cream: Add the cream and spinach; stir to combine. Keep it at a low simmer for a few minutes to further thicken the sauce.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves to taste. Add chicken back in.
Serve: Serve pieces of chicken with a scoop of the creamy gnocchi and a spoonful of the extra sauce over the top. Add a sprinkle of Parmesan on top, or into the sauce, for even more flavor. SO yum.
Notes
If you’re not into sun-dried tomatoes, I actually prefer to use the DeLallo tomato bruschetta which is a bit more juicy and less chewy. Love the flavor of it. But sun-dried tomatoes are easier to find and those also work great!
For the broth, I’m using Better Than Bouillon chicken base mixed with water whenever possible. It just has more robust flavor. For this I used 1 heaping tablespoon mixed with my 2-ish cups water.

25 Cozy Soups and Stews
خلاصہ: 25 Cozy Soups and Stews
When the weather turns cold, I go straight into Soup Recipe Mode. Something about a pot bubbling on the stove just makes everything feel a little calmer, a little cozier, and a lot happier.
These are my all-time favorite soup and stew recipes — the ones that have been loved, shared, and made on repeat in my kitchen (and yours!) for many years. From cozy soups that are creamy and smooth, to hearty stews packed with vegetables and protein, these are the ones I come back to again and again.
So grab your soup pot (or your slow cooker, or your Instant Pot) and your ladle and let’s settle in. ❤️
