Cook and Hold Savory September Sides
September's the perfect month to think about staying home and snuggling by the fire with a good book. Unfortunately, most of us don't have the time for that particular brand of relaxation.
If, however, we can plan ahead to cook and hold our sides, we could open time in the afternoon for a self-care activity of choice. Whether it's a book and a coffee or just a long nap, once you have these savory sides in the food warmer, you're well on your way to a cozy afternoon away from the kitchen.
Savory September Sides to Cook and Hold
What could be cozier than a generous helping of these amazing Cheesy Hash Browns? They're a wonderful complement to nearly any entree, and they're simple to throw together. The recipe's easy to expand through doubling, as well.
If you're in the mood for some classic comfort food, we'd recommend this Deluxe Cornbread Stuffing. The prep time's short, and the herbs combine in a unique blend certain to keep you coming back for more.
For a classic favorite with a fresh twist, consider these Garlic and Bacon Green Beans. Though recommended as a holiday dish, it's fantastic year-round. We recommend pairing it with either ham or dark-meat turkey.
Finally, for our health-conscious friends, we've selected these Vegetarian Slow-Cooker Collard Greens.
Cooking this classic Southern side in a slow cooker not only frees you up to prepare other dishes, but it also frees up valuable stovetop space, as well. The greens get very tender without cooking down into a mush in the 9-hour cook time.
We can't think of anything more well-suited to a cool fall afternoon than letting your savory sides slowly simmer in the kitchen while you enjoy the slanting sun and soak up a few minutes of peace and quiet.
Whichever recipe we choose, we hope you love it!
