We are heading into the holiday season and I am so excited to share one of my favorite side dishes! This side goes great with many main courses and can even be a new addition to your Thanksgiving dinner table! I just so happened to be baking haddock tonight and it paired with it perfectly! I will include my famous New England Baked Haddock recipe below, if you want that also. As always, feel free to send me a picture if you try this out yourself! [email protected]
