Vegetables and Side Dishes
Vegetables and Side Dishes are my favorite part of the menu (after dessert.) Simple roasted vegetables are hard to beat, but a vegetable casserole can be so comforting. It is my favorite kind of leftover to find in the fridge, especially my sister’s carrot casserole or this Green Chili and Yellow Squash Dressing made with leftover cornbread.
