Cheesy Creamed Kale – it’s like your fav spinach dip at your local steakhouse but BETTER!
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts – the most delicious lemon and garlicky Brussels you’ll ever make… promise!
Wild Mushroom Stuffing – it’s the only stuffing I’ll allow on my table 7 years and running… it’s can’t be beat! And if you’re not into mushrooms, just omit them.
