What to serve these with
These sides work with almost any meal, but here are a few ideas for pairing them with what you're cooking:
Potato sides add substance to plates that need something more filling, great with quick skillet meals, roasts, or even simple grilled chicken.
Vegetable sides round out dishes that feel too heavy on protein or carbs. They’re also perfect when you want extra colour and variety on the table.
Quick breads shine with anything saucy or baked, soups, casseroles, stews, or slow-cook dishes, and they help turn smaller meals into something more complete.
