The 5 BEST HOLIDAY SIDES we've ever had! | Thanksgiving Side Dishes

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

If I was having a large gathering for Thanksgiving and feeling fancy I would do these. It's only going to be my hubby and I. I've never seen the potato bacon roses. I've seen people do it with pepperoni. They're too beautiful to eat.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

They were so good!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@FeedingtheByrds I bet. I love potatoes anyway you fix them.

[@debbiekocol8731]

Hi Alma, wished we lived close because it's only Doug and I as well. Have a wonderful holiday. Your Colo. friend.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@debbiekocol8731 thanks friend, y'all too. Have y'all got any snow yet?!

[@jennifers1123]

I love sweet potatoes, carrots and white or yellow potatoes. I could eat one of them every single day. I’m going to make the sweet potatoes like you made in the crockpot for Thanksgiving. I’m tempted to go ahead and just make them now.😂

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Haha! They are worth it

[@crh.hedgehogs]

Has anyone ever told you that you and Mandy in the Making have similar kitchens? Very pretty. Also, I can't wait to try those potatoes

[@FeedingtheByrds]

yes! haha! She's one of my best friends!

I think the word your looking for is texture. 😄

[@FeedingtheByrds]

yes!

[@ritasmoot1823]

So far, out of all the fall/thanksgiving recipe vlogs that I have seen, these are by far the best and the ones I will try for get togethers. I don’t do holidays, but, we enjoy life all year long with those around us and these recipes are perfection!! Thank you so much. And the bacon and potato roses look so impressive for being so easy. Thanks so much for sharing these fantastic bites on your channel. BTW…. I love your videos.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you so much!

[@lesliejones7018]

Everything looks delicious but those potato roses are next level!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Right?! They are sooo delicious

[@loryearles9987]

To keep your tins pan cleaner and to look festive try muffin/ Cupcake parchment paper cups to line them pans also available in pretty festive colors if you are making them for a holiday! Just an idea 😏

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Great idea!!

[@finnfo4]

I was thinking ditto.

The bacon potato roses looked pretty cool.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

So good!

[@zullo3529]

Those rose potatoes look so beautiful. And yummy! I think you could thin slice some onion and sneak in a few pieces. These would be so pretty for Valentine’s Day also. I’m not into root veggies but those carrots are another matter! The dressing muffins are in all the way. BTW You could have used your cheese grater with the slicer blade that comes with it. Thanks Amber 💕🙏

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes I thought about that, but I wasn't sure the potatoes would fit in there. But that's a great option!

[@deeferry6520]

What fabulous recipes you've brought us this week. I have to admit, I really don't like sweet potatoes, its the texture. My favourite dressing is lemon juice with just a touch of olive oil and freshly crushed black pepper. I would certainly love all of the recipes you've made today. Parsnips are a firm favourite of mine, my mum told me that during the war they substituted these for bananas. I wanted to dive in to that Veg au gratin that you made, its definitely going on my Sunday dinner list. (I like to make something a bit more special on a Sunday). I can't use stuffing mixes as I'm allergic to Sage but I could follow your recipe without the sage. I can't thank you enough for sharing these recipes with us. You've just made my christmas dinner menu so much better. Thanks again xxx

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes, try it and let me know what you thought!

[@moonlitpearl700]

Just found your channel. I love these recipes. Cannot wait to try. Thank you for sharing

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Welcome!! I'm so glad you're here

[@lindavansingel165]

I made the arugula salad for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a big hit. The dressing to amazing. I didn't have lemon juice so I used lime. I was worried it would not taste as good but it really was very good.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

YAY! So glad you enjoyed

[@tracyphillips9132]

I just found your videos, watched this one, and subscribed. I will be trying all of the recipes. Thank you for sharing. I love the scripture at the end of your video 😊❤

I used thicker slices so no potato rose for me haha. Worked fine and a little more to bite into. They were quite popular. Thanks!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Daphne-cp8ss]

19:15 I love all the root veggies you have in this recipe. I'm going to have to try this when our local stores get the veggies in . Parsnips and beets have to be my all time favorites and sweet taters too. Question: do yellow beets taste like the red ones or do they have a different flavor? Ooh, I wonder how fennel would go with that? I like to put it in with the other veggies when I do roasted root veggies.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Those beets were maybe a little less pungent or earthy. I thought they were delicious!!

[@susanberry3676]

Those carrots look delicious! Everything does but those caught my eye 😊

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you 😋

[@susanberry3676]

[@marydoughten1151]

Love the potato roses! I made apple roses with puff pastry before & it’s the same concept. Thanks for all the ideas! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh that's a great idea!

[@jennygrubbs2543]

Yes, that looks so delicious. Have you ever tried rutabago, it is wonderful. My mom always made ham, red potatoes green beans, and rutabago with the side of cornbread homemade, not jiffy mix, ugg. It was so good.

Just came across your channel today while looking for Thanksgiving side dishes. I loved each and everyone of your recipes. Especially the one with the stuffing in a muffin cup. I'm usualy the only one eating any and this way I could freeze some of the leftovers. I also liked how you scaled the recipes down. I bet if you left the pecan whole for the candied one's they would make a great gift. You could always cut them smaller after they are done. And I subscribed, now I have to watch more of your videos.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you're here!

I just recently found your channel. I really enjoy your recipes and watching you prepare them.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Honestly, I don't see why not. Actually, the root au gratin, we reheated several days later and it was still delicious

Can the potatoes roses be made and cooked the day before and reheated?? Just don't have the time to do this on Thanksgiving!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh absolutely!! I think they actually would reheat nicely. I would just cover with foil so they don't burn

[@kimjefferson5953]

Did you use thick bacon slices or regular or thin for the potato roses? Thank you!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I used a thinner cut the first time and a thicker cut the second time. If you use a thinner one, you can roll it more times but the thicker one worked just fine too!

[@cherylfisk7698]

ALL your dishes/recipes look yummy ALL BY THEMSELVES 👍😋. However, as another cook, like you, and because I love to add personal additions/touches to any dish I cook I would add a few tweaks (only because its what I do, NOT because your recipes need them. To me thats what cooking is all about, personalizing your dishes/recipes.) So for your carrot dish I would probably toss all ingredients in a bowl together before baking to ensure even coating, than to simplify the baking process, just wrap in foil and bake them all together for the total bake time. Your root vegetable au-graten looks great. I think my preference would be to toss all the root vegetables together (after their individual prep) for the bake time, thus creating a random surprise element for the eating/taste time, but I would add a tiny bit of crumbled bacon bits on top for final bake time for added flavor and texture. I would tweak the stuffing muffin cups, by adding some diced onions, with a little more broth for added moistness 😊 to the stuffing. My go to seasoning for stuffing is poultry seasoning. Your video is great! 👍 Thanks for sharing.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Isn't that the best about cooking? I love that we can adjust recipes to make them what we love!

[@debgersh5555]

Aaaaaand the winner is: Potato Roses! 🌹 👏

Love root veggies but not a huge fan of beets or potatoes. I added this to my dinner this week but I’m going to stack the veggies like I would a ratatouille so the spoonfuls can be all four veggies. My family is going to live this.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh that's a great idea!!

[@jennygrubbs2543]

On those stuffing muffins, do not add egg, applesauce is the key, just add 1 tsp. To every bite, yum.

Are the Gardyn seeds “heirloom” seeds?
